Dead Monster Washes Ashore in Montauk

reply to post by Crakeur


The better part of this discussion is in the other thread. You'll note that there's a second set of pictures (from a different person, from a different angle). There are multiple witnesses. Animal control was contacted, but it was been removed before they got there. There's confusion about who took the "body". Two (including the surfer) claim they have it in their back yards. One witness said an old guy with a wheel barrow took it away to mount it on his wall. I've got $1,000 riding on Raccoon. You in?

I want to flag this, but there is no supporting evidence to show this photo is real. Where was it taken? Where is it now? If this was real then why haven't scientists announced the discovery?

There is tons of evidence. Like 500 news articles. Go go google maybe? Where did everyone's common sense go the past few days? I know we are a bunch of conspiracy theory nuts but, what the hell? It's a freaking dead animal decomposing in water that someone took pictures of.

It does appear to be about the size of a raccoon. But, the head doesn't look right. It appears as if it has a beak and nostrils like a bird such as an eagle.

The jaw reminds me of a salmon.

The body somewhat reminds of a large turkey drying out in the sun.

The eyes don't look right for a washed up animals corpse. The hands and long fingers are flesh toned.

The tail looks like an ox tail shoved up the back end of a turkey.

I think someone, probably a taxidermist, created this fake rather than it being some crossbred mutation.

Having no body screams fake to me also.

if it is real its a dog with part of its snout missing exposing its skull which resembles a beak in the pic

Exactly! If they would have found such an odd animal, they would have told SOMEBODY. Not just let it sit and rot... And how can we know that the bones they showed on TV weren't dog or cat bones or something? It all smells pretty fishy to me..

The guy I heard talking about the creature and poking the bones around on the internet earlier today sounded pretty excited to be on the news...

There are other photos in a link here:

The only thing is, that they don't really look like the same animal in all ways. There is more fur on one of the pictures. Maybe it's because of the different angle. I guess there could be sun damage on one of the pics, but I don't know if that completely explains why they look different.

On the other pics, it looks like a boar or something.

There are no "MONSTERS" roaming around on Long Island, it was all a "viral marketing" scheme!

BREAKING NEWS: Montauk Monster Truths Revealed (Splinterheads!)

“Tonya” stated that the original pictures of the Montauk Monster were a stage prop from the Splinterheads movie set. “Tonya” also mentioned that there will be a scene in the movie where the Montauk Monster will be revealed.

Could this be a possibility? Could this be a marketing scheme? Absolutely! The creature was mysteriously brought to somebody’s backyard and it has never been seen again. In Newsday’s “Splinterheads” article, Michelle Isabelle-Stark says: “For Suffolk County’s economic development office, the arrival of the cameras and crews is welcome news.”

This is the official (for now) Splinterheads blog

“According to kookbusting site Montauk-Monster.com, the creature was most likely a prop used in Goldberg’s film Splinterheads. It quotes a mystery source called “Tonya,” who explains the stunt will be revealed when the flick comes out next year. “Tonya” stated that the original pictures of the Montauk Monster were a stage prop from the Splinterheads movie set. “Tonya” also mentioned that there will be a scene in the movie where the Montauk Monster will be revealed.”

Punk’d by the Monster of Montauk! ‘Beastie’ was a movie prop

The so-called Monster of Montauk has been exposed as an imaginative publicity stunt dreamed up by the makers of a new movie. Apparently, Rachel Goldberg, the woman who discovered the famed beastie, is the sister of none other than producer Darren Goldberg (pictured above), who is making a movie about, you guessed it, …monsters.

Rather than being a scary sea monster, the creature was in fact just a cheap prop used in Goldberg’s film Splinterheads. You can read all about the making of the movie here.

Meanwhile, with the ‘riddle’ solved, Nicky Papers, the owner of Montauk-Monster.com - a site set up to investigate the sightings - has now put his domain name up for sale. Somehow we doubt he’ll be getting monster-sized offers for it!
