A team of monster-hunters are about to launch the largest search for the Loch Ness Monster in 50 years

Loch Ness is probably the most obsessively searched and surveyed body of water in the entire world. People have been poring over every square inch of it since around 1933 or so — that's nearly 100 years. So you'd think if the Loch Ness Monster were in there, someone would've found it already.

But they're going to try and look for her again. You know ... just in case!

What has been described as the biggest search for the Loch Ness Monster since the early 1970s is due to be held later this month.

Drones fitted with infrared cameras are to be flown over the loch, and a hydrophone is to be used to detect unusual underwater sounds.

The undertaking will reportedly be "the biggest search for the monster since the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau studied the loch in 1972."

Loch Ness sleuth Alan McKenna told media that the group hopes the search will "inspire a new generation of Loch Ness enthusiasts" to keep searching for the fabled beast.

The true believer, of course, might ask why people continue to report sightings of something in Loch Ness if there's actually nothing out there. One explanation that seems plausible:

In 2019, scientists said the creatures behind repeated sightings of the fabled Loch Ness Monster may be giant eels.

Well, good luck, Loch Ness hunters, let us know if you scare anything up.
