The photos show three humps protruding   out of the water, which matches the description of past sightings of the Loch Ness Monster in the shores of Wray Castle. Sightings gave a description of a giant snake lurking out of the water.  This has been the eight sighting of Bownessis by local residents in the last five years. Tom Pickles 24 years old states as he was kayaking that "something past him at three car speeds and he watched it for several seconds."
