Annual festival in search of Nessie yields strange images and sounds
The Loch Ness Centre, in partnership with the Loch Ness Exploration research team, commemorated the 90th anniversary of the original pursuit for the Loch’s elusive inhabitant with ‘The Quest 2024’.
The serene highland setting was transformed as a multitude of individuals converged on the site, eager to partake in the storied tradition of the monster hunt.
This year’s quest was met with favorable conditions, a stark contrast to the previous year’s rain-drenched efforts. The improved weather contributed to an impressive assembly of volunteers, all united by the common goal of uncovering the truth behind the Loch Ness legend.

Among the crowd was a young girl, Evelyn Murphy, whose keen eye and timely photograph of an unusual disturbance in the water’s surface stole the limelight.
Her image has since become a focal point of discussion among the community.
Concurrently, a team of researchers employing advanced acoustic equipment detected an enigmatic sound beneath the waves, described as a rhythmic pulse, adding another layer to the weekend’s discoveries.
The event was more than a search; it was a celebration of the mystery and allure that Nessie, the fabled monster, brings to the region. A series of events, including scholarly debates and presentations by seasoned researchers, provided a platform for sharing knowledge and theories about the cryptid.
Despite the large scale of the operation and the fervent hopes of participants, the tangible outcomes of ‘The Quest 2024’ were modest. However, the rarity of sightings throughout the years lends a certain expectation to these results. The weekend’s findings, though slight, have injected new vigor into the ongoing conversation about what secrets Loch Ness may hold.
