Has The Montauk Monster Been Spotted Again?

I know it has been quite a while since I posted a good cryptozoology story, so when I ran across this one during my lunch break, I just had to write about it. The story also intrigued me because it ties in with two stories I reported on last October.

Many of you may remember back to last year, when two strange creatures washed ashore in the same week, one in New London, Connecticut and another in Sakhalin, which is in the eastern part of Russia. What was strange about these two mysterious creatures, was the fact that they both appeared to be some unknown form of mammal, that is to say that they were both covered in hair, with large fangs.True, the mysterious animals didn't look exactly alike, one seemed to have a longer face than the other, but they did wash ashore a week apart on two separate continents. A strange coincidence to say the least.

Well, now another strange looking harry creature has washed ashore on the American east coast, this time in Long Island, New York. Now what makes this strange....stranger, is the fact that this is the second time such a creature been found in that location. Indeed, unknown to me when I wrote the prior two stories, a similar carcass was discovered in Long Island last summer. At the time local residents named the mysterious animal, the "Montauk Monster".

After the first sighting, Nicky Papers, a local student, started Montauk-Monster.com to report on any other future sightings. On May 6th, Papers took the latest photograph of the creature after she was tipped by a couple who discovered the body while walking on the beach near Southold, N.Y.

Sceptics say the photos are nothing but the product of hoaxers with good photoshop skills.Other insist that they are some genetic experiment gone wrong. Who can say for sure.

It certainly is interesting that all of these reports have surfaced within the last year. Is there some new species out there that we are just now discovering?
