Montauk Monster

(May 14, 2009) - Will the Montauk Monster mystery finally be solved? The remains of a mysterious creature, said to have been photographed on New York's Long Island last weekend, have renewed speculation about monstrous creatures -- or monstrous tricksters -- lurking near Montauk.

Photos of a similar carcass allegedly found in the area became a global Internet sensation last year. Those remains were said to have disintegrated before they could be examined, but the newly found monster is on ice.

"The beast smelled like a mix of low-tide and rotten garbage," said a witness. "It really smelled horrific."
