Skipper Shaun Sloggie said the "chilling" image flashed up on the boat's sonar at a depth of around 98 metres.

A man swimming in the Loch Ness has claimed he was touched by "something big". Duncan Roberts, 39, claims the infamous Scottish sea monster brushed against him as he swam across the icy waters of the lake.

A captain has claimed he found the Loch Ness monster using the sonar system on his boat. Shaun Sloggie, 30, was preparing his Spirit of Loch Ness pleasure boat to sail last month when a large object was spotted on the vessel’s underwater sensors.

Shaun Sloggie claims to have found proof that the Loch Ness Monster exists after spotting a large and mysterious shape on sonar whilst on a boat in the Scottish waters.

Shaun Sloggie, 30, said he's "never seen anything like" the discovery, which appears to have the same shape as the eel-like creature that hundreds of people have reported seeing in the Scottish freshwater loch.
