The Scottish folklore legend the Loch Ness Monster was reportedly spotted twice in the same week.
The new reported sighting comes from 12-year-old girl Charlotte Robinson from the UK who announced she spotted Nessie on August 17th, 2018, and took “the best photos of the sea monster in years.”
Robinson’s photos were taken the same week Chie Kelly also reportedly took breathtaking photos of the monster in the same week.
The Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, is a sea creature in Scottish folklore that inhabits Loch Ness Lake (Scottish call lakes lochs) in the Scottish Highlands.

Check out what the New York Post reported:
The legendary Loch Ness monster was reputedly spotted by a second person the same week a shutterbug snapped what have been hailed as the “most exciting ever’’ photos of it.
Young Charlotte Robinson, a 12-year-old from Leeds in the UK, had already reported seeing the monster Aug. 17, 2018, from about 50 feet away, with her claim recorded in believers’ official sightings register.
Her accompanying photo was heralded at the time as the “best” of Nessie that had been seen “for years.”
It now turns out that Charlotte’s reputed sighting five years ago occurred the same week shutterbug Chie Kelly, 51, also reportedly took amazing photos of the legendary creature.
The photog’s “most exciting ever” snaps only just came to light this week because she said she previously feared ridicule if she went public with them.
She said she put her worries aside and allowed them to be published as hundreds of researchers and monster hunters gathered at Loch Ness last weekend.

Here’s what Fox News shared:
Loch Ness monster hunters who gathered in Scotland last month released their findings of what might lurk beneath the waters in the Scottish Highlands.
This excitement this weekend has proven that the ongoing hunt for the Loch Ness Monster is still very much alive and continues to draw and attract a global audience, from America, Canada, France, Italy, Japan and more,” Paul Nixon, general manager of the Loch Ness Centre, said in a press release provided to Fox News Digital.
“We all want the same thing, to see and find out what the Loch Ness monster is. We’ve been delighted to welcome so many people into the Loch Ness Centre for visitor centre tours and Deepscan boat trips across the weekend.”
Hundreds of volunteers from around the world gathered at Loch Ness on the final weekend of August in what is considered the largest hunt for the creature in at least 50 years.
The Loch Ness Centre, a historical group dedicated to “uncovering the mysteries of the loch,” teamed up with a local voluntary research team called the Loch Ness Exploration group for “The Quest” and have released their findings from the hunt.
