Loch Ness: Swimmer claims he was touched by the monster
A man swimming in the Loch Ness has claimed he was touched by "something big".
Duncan Roberts, 39, claims the infamous Scottish sea monster brushed against him as he swam across the icy waters of the lake.
"It was something big. During my swim I experienced a bump half way across. There is some weird energy at play in that water. The depth and the darkness of that water plays tricks with your mind," he said.
Duncan Roberts explained that he had kept his eyes closed for most of his swim before he was suddenly touched by something.
"I think anyone who swims in the deep part of the loch is lying if they say they haven’t thought about the monster. I was focused on getting across as quickly as possible so the hit was a shock. I was already nervous enough before the swim," he recalled.
The Australian admitted that swimming in the murky waters of the Loch Ness had been a real challenge.
"I live in Australia and surf all the time often with Great White Sharks. I was way more scared of getting in the Loch Ness water.It was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done mentally," he said.
