MONTAUK MONSTER RETURNS? Video, Photos

It's back.... Real or fake, the Montauk Monster that terrorized Hamptons crowds last summer has been found again, according to a couple who sent in a photo to Montauk-Monster.com on May 5 after seeing the decaying creature on a Long Island beach. Check out the photo below:

Video was also taken upon discovery of the new "monster":

The potential for a latest version of the Montauk Monster should not be taken lightly. Remember the carcass caused quite a hubbub last summer when it threatened to restore the Hamptons to the peaceful and idyllic place it was before New York City decided to move there.

Here is a photo of the original "monster":

As one can see in the photo above, last year's monster looked considerably more threatening with its beak for pecking at your eyes and OR your heart. We did a post during the media frenzy, tracking who was covering the story. Even CNN's Wolf Blitzer covered the "beast" during a segment.

Word of the mysterious photograph spread to the far reaches of the news cycle (see the Montauk Monster here and the Montauk Monster here), and we learned that the entire Internet is necrophilic -- for a time, "monster of montauk" was the #1 Google trend.

At the time of publication, Montauk Monster is back on Google Trends, but this time it's at #12 with the term "montauk monster". I predict a rise to number one when the swimming season begins after Memorial Day. Check back!

It is the aborted fetus of the union between traditional republicans and the far right. They just are not genetically compatable.

Cheney without the disguise!

[HelloooCanada]

IT'S MANBEARPIG!

So that's what became of Kramers Pigman.

I once saw the body of a moose who had fallen thru the ice on an Alaskan lake the winter before. The thing did not just look like any critter I had ever seen before, it looked almost alien, what with the bloating and hair slippage and being nibbled on by the fish. Freaky.

Theo says that this is obviously a demon cast out from Hell, come to warn us that the End is near. Or, stated in backwards English - the well known, well documented language of Satan - eht dne si raen, which in an ancient, now extinct dialect of lower middle paleolithic Aramaic that only Theo can read, translates as "eht dne si raen" with quotation marks and with the emphasis on the last two syllables, meaning, in eschatological terms, that the end is indeed, truly here, or almost here, but not quite...but soon, very soon...quite soon, maybe just after lunch, or supper...but definitely before the next new episode of Monk...probably.
Theo says you're welcome for clearing that up for you.

And this reminds me of a site where you learn useful amateur taxidermy skills, like how to gut a mouse and graft on a duck's webbed feet. Funny how they just leave these bodies there to rot instead of bagging them up and heading for the nearest zoo or university? Also loved the 'Lookit dem back teefs! Dey ain't human!" Brilliant.

LOL!

And in case you thought I was kidding about the mouse/duck:

It's actually a really cool site!

Oh how sad. Someone's bloated, rotting Dalmatian washed up on the beach after being chewed on a bit. I beat that's the last time it's original owner plays fetch Frisbee on a beach during high tide! At least I hope it's the last time.

Do a DNA test. Simple solution.

It's a dog with the nose and lips eaten away by another animal.

The economy is still a disaster, so you have to do something to get a little cash coming in.
Like those guys with the rubber Bigfoot in a box of ice.
Great while it lasted.

I have alien bones for sale if anybody's interested.

[ImaVeteran]

search "turtles teeth".

[ImaVeteran]

Deffinitly a dog's lower jaw. The facial area looks to be a turtles beak placed where a dog's nose should be.

Memo to the bioengineers at the nearby government animal testing facility, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center: might be time to invest in a crematorium.

[VoteLibertarian]

What is Obama going to do about the monsters invading our shores? Next thing you know Godzilla and Rodan will tearing up Manhattan.

[john1117]

Oh, please.
It's a fish head inserted into a decapitated dog carcass.
How stupid can you be?

[rumblingspire]

is it indeed a turtle without it's shell? i heard someone hear propose such. ?

[newworldman777]

Nope. A turtle without its shell has no skin covering its back. A rotting dog carcass would be a better guess.
