'Nessie' sighting vaults Canadian couple into media spotlight after photo in Scotland

LONDON — Parry Malm and Shannon Wiseman weren't expecting a"pivotal moment" in their sons' lives when they visited Scotland's Loch Ness earlier this month, but that's exactly what happened.

Malm and Wiseman have been thrust into the limelight after a photo they took during their family vacation showed a shadowy figure poking above the waterline, something that the couple's children — and others — firmly believe is the latest sighting of the famed Loch Ness Monster.The couple said the original plan for the spring vacation was to take a boat ride in Loch Ness because their children were"completely captivated by the concept of Nessie.

"We just started watching it more and more, and we could see its head craning above water," Malm said."And then it was swimming against the current towards the castle, slowly but surely, like very fastidiously going over the waves coming closer and closer. And then it submerged and disappeared." On the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, the encounter has been recorded as the first Nessie sighting of 2024.

Both Malm and Wiseman said they are happy their experience is bringing some positivity to the daily news cycle, and at least one person they have spoken with thanked them for the picture.
