Loch Ness Monster hunters were vindicated when the mythical creature appeared in a satellite image released by Apple for iOS Maps. Of course, the monster wasn't there when they tried to search for it on Google Maps, the Huffington Post reports.
The Loch Ness Monster only exists in myths, and all the photos that have appeared to date have been proven to be hoaxes. So there is no concrete evidence of the creature and it has never been found.
Yesterday, this image featured by almost all Greek blogs and news websites showed a creature swimming underwater south of Dores, near Inverness.
Mysteriously, the image in the water only appears on certain iPads and iPhones. Do you think Nessie has finally been found? Probably not, reports the Huffington Post.
Of course, Andy Dixon, who discovered the "monster" along with his friend Peter Thain, insist that the photo depicts the legendary monster.
The Daily Mail, which reported the event, also has an interview with the two friends: “We were watching satellite broadcasts of various parts of the country and I thought we would try Loch Ness.
“I could see something big underwater and I took a picture of it with my phone. My first thought was that it was the monster and I contacted Gary Campbell of the Official Loch Ness Monster Club.”

We’re updating this article to add new revelations from the Huffington Post. As the site reports, skeptics point out that the Apple Maps image appears to depict a sailing ship, and that due to the low resolution of the photo, it’s hard to tell. Mick West of Metabunk.org, a website that specializes in investigating and debunking “mysteries” of this kind, claims that the image depicts the water being lifted by a sailing ship. But he says the ship is barely visible, due to the low contrast of the Apple Maps image.
To be fair, Mick West posted his own edited photo on Twitter.
