Montauk Monster Update… Or The Lack There of I Should Say.

This summer I put together a few articles (CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR ORIGINAL STORY) about the “Montauk Monster”, a speculative creature that supposedly washed up on the beach in Montauk, only to become a highly viral email flooding inboxes world wide. Now that the hype and excitement has subsided, the question begs to be answered… What was the final verdict on the so called Montauk Monster? Where there are any definitive answers? Did anyone ever find the remains and allow scientists to exam it? Was it a viral marketing ad for a movie? If so what movie?

A search around the internet reveals that nothing final has come of this whole ordeal. It seems that it has just been swept under the rug. I would like to see some closure, and I am sure you would too. If anyone has any further information about what happened to this story, please feel free to comment below with an update…

Montauk Monster. Pug, Turtle, Raccoon. Yet another followup!

More montauk monster mayhem. Speculations as to what this thing really was are still turning up on the internet. The latest one that I saw was that the animal was a dog, more specifically a pug. The two pictures below are from http://forgetomori.com/2008/skepticism/montauk-monster-raccoon-or-pug/, and show a comparison of a pug next to the supposed “monster” that washed up on the beaches of Montauk. Note this is a different picture of the monster than in my previous posts, and is supposed to be the underside of the same creature.

If you look at this picture it is convincing at first glance, but when compared to the montauk monster picture in previous posts, you can tell that the paws and finger like digits don’t match a pug. The turtle theory has been all but debunked since they don’t have teeth. As of right now if this is a real animal, I am banking on raccoon. However I still believe this is merely a hoax, and part of a large viral marketing campaign that has been exucted to perfection – Bravo viral guru, Bravo! Let the rampant speculation continue…

Montauk Monster Raccoon? A Follow-up Story…

Over the last couple days, the internet community as a whole has developed many theories as to what the “montauk monster” really is or if it is even a real creature or not. The most appealing to me has been the theory of a decomposed raccoon… Now I know what you are saying, but the following picture courtesy of animachina.com seems to paint a pretty good argument for this possibly being a raccoon if it is indeed a real photo of a real animal found on the beaches of montauk.

See for yourself:

Now I am not saying this is definitive proof, but it is the best explaination yet besides it being a latex creature set up for a publicity stunt.

I will post more information as it becomes available.

Other strange things have been showing up on the shores of Long Island as well…

Ok well maybe this one is a hoax, but who wouldn’t want to see a bull mastifrus?

Montauk Monster Like Creature Washes Up On Beach – Hoax or Reality? You Decide!

I was sitting in the office today in between patients and my secretary came in and said to me, did you see the Montauk Monster pictures yet? Of course I had not, so I had to do a little research on the subject. After a few quick google searches, I found alot of information pertaining to a supposed monster-like creature that had washed up on the beaches of Montauk, Long Island, NY.

Here’s how the story goes: someone was walking in front of a restaurant when they spotted something dead on the beach, they went down to check it out and soon there was a crowd developing. The person snapped a quick photo and some guy came down and carted the creature off before anyone else could get a shot of it. The guy was “quoted” as saying he was going to mount this monster like creature on his wall…

Here is a shot of this infamous creature:

With this photo being “released” there has been a lot of speculation as to whether this is a hoax, or whether it is some new species yet to be discovered… Stories have ranged from this being an experiment that went wrong at the Montauk Government facility to a turtle without its shell. On the other spectrum, skeptics have called this a photoshopped viral marketing piece for a company, an x-files movie promotion, or something to promote a new tv show called plum tv.

Here is a short video from youtube that aired on CNN earlier this week:

My vote is that this is clearly a photoshopped monster - there is no size reference in the picture, there is only one shot of the monster, and the shadows appear to not match up. I bet we will see this hoax uncovered in the next couple days. What do you think? Leave me a comment below!
