Montauk a cute little seaside village at the end of Long Island in New York
lovely Montauk is home to 3326 people oh and a monster also the legend has it but
what if the legend was true hello and welcome back to life's biggest questions
the channel that loves all manner of queries from real history and alternate
timelines to science and physics through to pop culture and fiction I'm your host
Rebecca fog eight I love a good urban legend and today I'm asking what if the
Montauk Monster is real before we get into this video I want to
know if there are any urban legends from your hometown city or state and if you
think they have their basis in anything real I'm from Cambridge in the United
Kingdom which dates back to the Middle Ages so there are plenty mostly
involving the University and creepy ghostly monks do let me know your
thoughts aunt IO is in the comments section down below and of course please
do you like this video if you're into our content and share it with a friend
who needs a wee beastie in their life today stick around to the end of the
video where I'll be replying to comments from a previous one okay if you're
sitting comfortably then I will begin the Montauk Monster seemingly washed
ashore near the business district of Montauk in July 2008 here's a picture of
the unexplained creature that set the internet alight with theories and
supernatural speculation headlines were rolling in like dead monster washes
ashore in Montauk which you know I guess it kind of did in this respect the
Montauk Monster Israel like the majority of urban legends there is truth at the
center of it we can't really tell what it is from the horrifying picture taken
of it but according to eyewitnesses the unidentified creature was this size of a
dog we know it has four legs and a tail as well as something that looks oddly
beaky but what is it well that's still up for debate
the term Montauk Monster was coined by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman and the
name took like a lit match to gasoline soon the good people of Reddit and
Beyond we're discussing WTF it was with no conclusive decision made either way
by scientists or crypto theorists which makes answering this question pretty
hard but we're gonna roll with it one leading theory is that it is a
hellhound the dog straight from the bowels of hell so how did it wash up in
Montauk good question but if it did then
hip-hip-hooray that means the devil is real and that whole can of worms of
implications that comes along with that devil know even if that is true again I
ask how did the hellish Montauk Monster wash up in Long Island is there a
Hellmouth under there a portal between our world Hades if there is then what
other monsters what else was spat out how did the creature end up dead
Satan sad is it a sign perhaps the Montauk Monster is an ocean creature a
species yet undetected in our deep dark mysterious cabinets mortars as they say
90% of the ocean has being unexplored so perhaps it is but again doubt is cast by
the fact that the monster is clearly a mammal and it has a beak which doesn't
look too fishy to me wait gills that mate may be the Montauk
Monster is an alien it looks kind of cooked and bruised and maybe that's
because it's spacecraft or vessel fell to earth in a ball of flames Long Island
is a hotspot for alien spotting so perhaps this is true if it was true
would it mean that the Montauk Project theory that has been the focal point of
a paranoid speculation is actually legit the Montauk Project theory was
perpetuated by UFO researchers Jax Vail who amongst others believes that alien
experimentation is taking place at camp hero or the Montauk Air Force Station
perhaps this experiment went wrong in the subject died leading to the alien
corpse being dumped in the ocean only for it to wash ashore no well if that
were true I wonder what other SCP star creatures they're hiding there and
whether or not they're dumped carcasses can explain a few of our other ocean
mysteries maybe isn't aliens maybe it's just regular mad scientists stir a few
local speculated that the creature could have come from the nearby Plum Island
Animal Disease Center one variant of the urban legend suggested that the creature
feature was a diseas'd animal others say it was an experiment
gone wrong by the way if that's the case then PETA People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals betting down on the scene and sort out this
inhumane treatment speaking of inhumane some people think
that the so-called monster is actually discarded after map of illegal
dogfighting which would be awful were true but we know that it does happen
although William why is if Stony Brook University examined the image taken of
the beast and he deemed that it couldn't possibly be of a dog or a canine as the
Irish and feat just don't match up to what you would expect to see he also
ruled our other theories like raccoon sea turtle rodent and sheep so what is
it is it a hoax maybe the monster wasn't so real after all scientists were never
able to examine the body as its carcass was never found
hearsay says that a local man was thought to have buried the body in a
garden so it goes but I'm thinking of the Montauk Monster was real some
high-powered secret agents dressed in plain clothes took the evidence away for
examination ala Roswell may be the creature is being examined in the bowels
of area 51 or the SCP foundation as we speak or the nearby local secretive
buildings a few thoughts for you as we head towards the end of this video some
food for thought four years after the Montauk Monster incident this washed up
on the shore underneath Brooklyn Bridge eyewitness Denis Ginley told The
Huffington Post we found the dead creature lying on the strip of sand
beside the East River on the Manhattan side it looked like the tide probably
washed the carcass up along with some driftwood is that not looking pretty
Montauk monstrous to you is there more than one in a whole breed of monster
that we just don't know about it seems a Parks Department spokesman claims that
there was nothing mysterious here but I'm wondering if anyone else is smelling
a government cover-up perhaps the Montauk Monster was real and all other
medium wants is a real to the Loch Ness monster the Chupacabra the Mothman alum
Mothman Prophecies maybe there are creatures out there that are too
terrible for the public to know about or maybe there's another explanation and if
there is so if you love to hear it if it is real
though I wonder what is so terrible about it that it needs to be such a
closely guarded secret honestly I tried to think well guys that's the end of the
video for you there what did you think are you feeling like them won't talk
Monster is real will you be making a trip to Long Island any time soon I'd
actually be pretty down for going they may have monsters but I also have Long
Island iced tea so I'll be there before we axe you in pursued by monster I want
to read some comments from one of my most recent videos I'm gonna be reading
from what-if scp-144 one was real aka the circle of metal statues this is what
you have to say Miller said I know these things aren't real but your videos
always make me question it right Gus Carolyn said why don't we just put all
of the key to class scps in the middle of the circle Gus I like your thinking
something grossed around this video or one of our commenters said the freakish
thing I saw was when my dad went to Thailand and saw a severed thumb washed
up on the beach oh my goodness I never want to see severed things look look
look good ending this video with guttural sounds I'm used to bracket
Vulgate I'll catch you soon but until then leave a thumbs up on this video
stay curious stay ler and never ever stop questioning
