The animal kingdom still holds some dark spots, and it is in the human nature to assume that monsters and strange creatures seek refuge there. With evidence piling up, it is impossible to dismiss all these cases as the result of optical illusions, elaborate hoaxes, or mass hysteria.
A dead body or some remains complicate the equation even further, as scientists hesitate to emit a verdict. It is also common for such evidence to disappear without a trace, seriously supporting the cover-up theories.
How would you react if what was until then a mythical creature is accepted by mainstream science? If Bigfoot is a giant ape with human intelligence, how ethical it is to hunt it down and study it in the name of science?
Is it all in our imagination? I don’t think so! A real monster inhabits your backyard.
1. Montauk Monster
The Montauk Monster was a recent addition to the world of cryptozoology.
The animal carcass was found washed ashore on a beach in Montauk, New York, in July 2008. There are many great quality photos taken of the monster, as well as the accounts of thousands of tourist and locals that saw the creature.
To make things even more disturbing, the body disappeared from the beach, fueling conspiracy theories involving a government cover-up.
However, scientists that examined photos of the monster dismissed the idea that this is a new animal to be added in the zoology books. A strange looking raccoon that was in the water for too long seems the most plausible explanation.
The Montauk Monster is not an isolated case, and the sea often grants strange looking creatures on beaches around the world.
