Tourists sightseeing at Loch Ness in Scotland, home to the famous but elusive Loch Ness Monster, have taken video that again opens the debate on whether this fabled sea monster does indeed exist.

Reyshell Avellanoza and her five year-old daughter from the Philippines visited Scotland last week to visit Reyshell's mother who's married to a Scot.

Reyshell, her daughter, Heather, and her mother, Consuela were touring Urquhart Castle, a spot long associated with sightings of the monster, along Loch Ness when they suddenly saw an huge beast emerge from beneath the surface of the lake.

The tourists were so shocked by the sight of this animal they forgot to go for their cameras to record the incredible sight. They did manage to shoot a video after overcoming their astonishment, said The Inquisitr.

What they did record on their tablet computer were massive ripples in the water that seem to have been created by the passage of a large object. They said the monster dove under the waves just as they began filming, narrowly missing becoming the first persons to ever take video conclusively proving the existence of the beast.

The mother and daughter assert the wake depicts the aftermath of the monster's appearance after the beast rose from beneath the lake as they watched.

The Filipinos are convinced that what they saw was indeed the Loch Ness Monster. Their video can be viewed here.

"Reyshell had her tablet and we were taking pictures when Heather pointed out something in the water," said Consuela.

"She said it looked like a big black belly. We looked and could see this big disturbance quite a way out and this big black object in the middle of it."

"I took still photographs and Reyshell used her zoom as well to try and get a closer look, but it wasn't as good as what we saw with our eyes," Consuela said.

"One of my pictures shows a dark object behind the circle of water and that was it moving away. We were all quite excited by it. I have always been a believer in the monster and for my family to see it was amazing. If we had been a little quicker with our cameras, we would have better images."
