A look back at the time a White Witch tried to use his powers to call forth the Loch Ness Monster

Back in 2001, the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster took an even stranger turn after a coven of White Witches got involved. The High Priest of the British Coven at the time, Kevin Carlyon, travelled to the famous loch in hopes of helping to solve the mystery which has endured for over a millennia and a half.

Hastings-based Kevin believed he had incredible powers and hoped he could use this power for good, protecting Nessie from the attentions of the scientific world, including Swedish cryptozoologist called Jan Sundberg who arrived at the loch around the same time in the hope of being able to catch whatever creature was causing the monster myth.

Deciding to cast his spell, the White Witch took to the waters to use the natural elements to protect the monster from prying eyes. Angering Sundberg with his theatrics, it was quickly played out as a battle between science and mysticism in the media.
