Loch Ness monster mystery 'solved' as one woman 'knows exactly where it is'

One woman has claimed that she has 'solved' the long-time Loch Ness Monster mystery, and reckons she can pinpoint the exact location of the creature.

Australian-born Sue Keogh is adamant that she can source the location of Nessie after watching a documentary about the mythical creature. The Daily Record reports that the woman believes she can find Nessie, as the creature looks exactly like the sock puppets her dad used to make.

Despite the famous water beast inspiring many theories and folklores in Scotland, the 60-year-old Australian is now certain that it is all an elaborate hoax. After watching the video, which shows the infamous 1934 photo of the Loch Ness monster appearing in the water, she says something jogged her memory.

The woman believes the photo is a hoax, and shows a man lying underwater and sticking his hand out like a shadow puppet. Sue is adamant she has solved the mystery, and has even shared an image recreating the photo.

However, when Sue has shared her story, nobody seems to take it as seriously as she does. Sue said: "The Loch Ness Monster has been around for years, and when I was watching the show I just knew what it was instantly. It was obvious, when I was lying in bed I solved the problem - it's not that big of a mystery.

"I was watching a doc on it one night and all of a sudden I knew exactly what it was. Once you see it you can't unsee it. When you're a kid and your parents put their hands together to make a bird or a dog on the wall or whatever, like a shadow puppet, it's similar to that.

"I think the Loch Ness Monster is a bloke lying under the water with his arm striking out the water.

"My dad used to do that thing on the wall and I knew what it was - it's just a dark photo of a man's arm. You can see a bit of the body, that'll just be the bloke with this body under the water. How can that not be it?

"It's a joke, someone's taken a photo from the bank, or he had a camera set up or whatever.

"I took the same photo right in front of the TV when I was watching the show. I saw it and said that's the loch ness monster. Being as it's a man, it's his arm. He's under the water, and his arm's longer. That's his forearm and his hand like that, twisted to the side."

Sue has recreated the image and shared the theory online, but people are refusing to listen to her thoughts on the mythical creature. She continued: "I think I'm right - over in Australia, we had a show called 60 minutes and someone said they had seen a flying rabbit they called a flabbit, it was a joke. It's the same thing.

"Some people really believe in it, there could be a secret group who know what it is - know that it's a joke.

Sue said she has solved the problem after watching a documentary about Nessie and now she knows exactly what the famous photo is. (Sue Keogh)

"I took a couple of photos and they all look like the same thing. My dad used to do shadow puppets, dogs barking and birds flying and stuff, I was three or four at the time.

"I've put it on my Facebook but no one really took much notice, I want the truth to come out. I'm hoping people take this seriously and listen.

"I've never been to Scotland, my family come from Ireland but I've not visited. I'd like to visit Loch Ness but I don't have the money."
