Nessie has not been seen in well over a year, and may be gone, according to a news report. This is the first time in nearly 90 years that such a lengthy lag in sightings has occurred.
Gary Campbell, who lives in Inverness in the United Kingdom. has been keeping records of Loch Ness monster sightings for the past 17 years and has put together a list of sightings that goes back some 1,500 years, according to the BBC News.
"It's very upsetting news and we don't know where she's gone," BBC News quoted Campbell as saying. "The number of sightings has been reducing since the turn of the century but this is the first time in almost 90 years that Nessie wasn't seen at all." (Apparently three reports of possible Nessie sightings in 2013 were discredited after closer scrutiny, The Inverness Courier reported.)

it is no longer possible to pass off a blurry, grainy, indistinct pic of a standing wave, or a boat wake, or an otter as some fearsome, elusive "monster".
I don't believe the Loch Ness Monster exists.
But that doesn't mean I don't wish it existed...
One thing I find encouraging is the fact that, despite no scientific evidence that Nessie exists, the British Parliament has seen fit to grant it protected status.
