Frank died in 2005 in obscurity but for his time on the Loch he was a bit of a star and TV crews came to see him and tourists flocked. I will not go into the stories here about him,( will save that for my book perhaps), but sufficient to say he could be quite aggressive if you accused him of faking the photos .He could be charming whilst you agreed with him but it was best not to disagree with him within earshot . In saying that I have a soft spot for Frank as he was a character and somehow seemed to fit in with what was going on at the Loch at the time.
So here are some of the photos see what you think.

Hi Tabitca
I have a copy of his book that I bought from Steve Feltham .
Steve seemed a bit miffed that Frank Searle was'nt more engaging with him but i'm not sure if they were both up there at the same time.
Anyway I read the book and thought that if Frank had seen the monster so many times he must be one of the luckiest people alive!
He seemed to have a different lady with him in every photo so I guess his notoriety did him no harm.
When he died I was saddened to learn that he was in a rest home only 6 miles from my home as I would have loved to have visited him.

Frank liked to be the only monster hunter and could be quite abrasive. I am not sure if he had left the Loch when Steve arrived. I will check up and find out. Thanks for your comment.
