A shocked man claims he saw the Loch Ness monster and it was as big as a double-decker BUS.
Sash Lake froze when he saw the huge, black hump in the water.
He said he saw it for five seconds before it vanished into the water.
Stunned Sash said it made him “jump out of my skin.” It is the eighth credible sighting of the folklore beast this year.
Sash, of Box, Wiltshire had visited the famous loch near Inverness, Scotland, and was just leaving when he saw it.
He said: “I was leaving Drumnadrochit on a coach, admiring the view while the coach was driving past the loch.
“It started to rain and a light fog rolled in.
“My view and vision was partly limited due to the trees alongside the loch.
But something caught my eye for approximately five seconds and made me jump out of my skin.
“I saw a huge black mass or hump in the middle of the loch, roughly the size of a double-decker bus. I would say it was around 75 to 100 yards away from me.”
Sash added: “I was confused and in disbelief.
“I jumped to my feet to get a better look, trees completely blocked my view for about five to eight seconds.
“There was a clearing in the trees, and when I looked back to where I saw the black mass or hump, there was nothing there.”
He was unable to take a photo but quickly sketched what he saw while it was fresh in his memory.
The sighting was on 7 October at 12.20 pm but has only just been reported to The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.
It is compiled by Nessie expert Gary Campbell who has been doing it since 1996.
The previous sighting was made by nurse Fiona Wade on 31 August. The 60-year-old said she saw three humps in the water.
Three days earlier local Siobhan Janaway saw ripples in the water.
And fellow Nessie spotter Alastair Gray said he saw the Loch Ness Monster on 26 August. Dad-of-four Steve Valentine said he spotted a “black shape” with “a hump” on 17 August.
On 15 June, Etienne Camel and his wife Eliane, from Lyon, France were visiting Loch Ness from Lyon and claimed to have spotted a 65ft long dark shape moving just beneath the surface of the water for several minutes.
Another tourist, Ceci, from the USA, said she also saw something mysterious for a number of minutes on 31 May.
On 5 April, Francesca McGarvey, of Paisley, was visiting with her mum and dad when she claims she spotted humps in the water. A huge search for Nessie took place last month including drones in August.
