Something unusual happened at Loch Ness in 2026. The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register recorded 15 in-person reports during the year, compared with six during all of 2025 and only three in 2024.

On July 4, 2013, several fishermen were out on Table Rock Lake near Kimberling City, Missouri, when someone in the boat noticed movement along the shoreline. Through the trees stood a dark upright figure that was difficult to identify from the water. Instead of disappearing immediately, it kept moving long enough for…
On August 2, 2024, a drone hovered over Bulwagga Bay on Lake Champlain while a small rowboat moved through the water below. Two actors were inside, filming a scene for a movie about Champ, the legendary creature said to live in the lake. Nothing about the moment seemed unusual. Nobody in the boat pointed toward the…
