ATTENTION: Monster Lost, Please Return if Found
After taking the Internet world by storm yesterday, the Montauk Monster has quietly disappeared.Maybe it was taken back into the ocean during high tide, maybe animal control picked it up, or maybe, some crusty old guy came buy, picked it up, and announced to all who cared to listen, "I'm going to mount it on my wall."
And... it seems the last option may win.
According to New York Magazine, beach onlookers originally said a woman continued to call Animal Control, but it's reported they never came.
But, don't take this news too seriously. In all honesty, all anyone has is reports of people who know people, who know someone's sister's aunt's boyfriend, who says they took a picture of the monster, or at least have seen it.
But a number of news outlets, including Gawker, who first broke the story and released the now famous picture, say the monster is lost. According to Alanna Navitski, who supposedly took the famous picture, her friend's sister says animal control never came. Instead she says some old man came and carted it away, telling onlookers he intended to mount it on his wall.
Honestly, can you blame him? Wouldn't you want a monster on your wall too? Heck yes!
Still it seems that the Montauk Monster may have left our lives as quickly as it came in, which begs the question, was it even real? Who knows! But we'll always keep a special place for it in our hearts. Or not, it was kind of ugly.
