An eleven-year-old girl from England earned an unlikely place in paranormal history by taking what is believed to be the first-ever picture of Nessie basking in the moonlight. The youngster in question, named Natalie Hodgson, snapped the photo while vacationing at Loch Ness with her family earlier this month. One evening during the visit, she spotted something strange in the water illuminated by the overhead moon and, thankfully, took a photo of the anomaly which lurked in the water for a few minutes before vanishing beneath the surface.
Although the image is in keeping with most photos of Nessie that we've seen over the years, in that it is fairly ambiguous, the fact that it was taken at night makes the case pretty special. An authority on Nessie sightings by way of his official register of such events, Gary Campbell noted the uniqueness of the image to a Scottish newspaper. In all of his years tracking Nessie sightings, he said that he's never seen nor heard of an image of the creature lit by the moon.
