Loch Ness Monster - Father Gregory Brusey

Father Gregory Brusey entertained no doubts about his sighting of a creature in Loch Ness on October 14, 1971.

He and a visitor were enjoying the view of the serene loch from the grounds of the Benedictine abbey at Fort Augustus when both were startled by the sudden, violent agitation of its waters. About 300 yards away a great beast loomed before them, rearing its head as much as seven feet above the water, and then swam idly away.

The two men, hardly believing their eyes, stood watching it for about 20 seconds before the creature submerged. The monster had been seen by many monks at the abbey but never before by Father Gregory.

"We felt a sort of awe and amazement," he related. "In fact, my friend said if I hadn't been with him he'd probably have run. But not from a sense of personal danger; rather from a sense of the inexplicable. "It gave us a feeling of something from another world." (Dennis L. Meredith, Search at Loch Ness , p.110)
