Rachel Goldberg, whose camera was used to snap an image of the Montauk Monster, spoke with GeekHeeb and confirmed a Fox News report that the creature is now in the possession of Montauk resident Paul Davis.
Eric Olsen, a real estate agent and surfer, had originally removed the Montauk Monster from the beach last week, according to the East Hampton Star, which reported that he’d left the rotting carcass in the woods near a friend’s house to decompose. Goldberg says the body has since decomposed and that it’s basically a skeleton at this point.
Olsen had planned to sell the bones, but when he returned to the woods Sunday the mystery monster’s carcass was gone.
“He wants to make some money on it,” Goldberg said of Davis.
She echoes the statements made by her friend Jenna Hewitt, who took the photo, that it’s probably a raccoon.
But she’s still hedging her bets that it could be something else: “The Plum Island thing is not a total departure. I don’t know … maybe some unidentified deep-sea creature,” she said.

Parshat Vayigash (Genesis 44:18-47:27): It was brief. Jacob, head of the House of Israel, met with Pharaoh, King of Egypt
What else explains the collective amnesia on display?
its a raccoon, they wont get any money off of it, the strange part it how the goverment isnt going after who ever has the bones and testing on it, maybe to strange….maybe they do have it….maybe all of this is just a cover up….i guess we might not ever find out….
I don’t know what this animal is but I do know that it had to be in contact with humans because it’s arms have been tied together. Did it walk on it’s hind legs? Why would someone tie it’s front arms together? So that it couldn’t swim? It probably died in the water and floated to the beach where it was found. Sad, just sad, no matter what the species!!
i’ve been doing my own research on this creature. so far, i suspect that it’s a “Chupacabras”.
This is such a media stunt. See my blog for video.
I dont think it is a raccoon or a dog. I does’nt resemble any known living animal. The beek is what throws me off.
I’ve been following the Montauk Monster story.
I had a similar experience with an unknown animal. A few years ago my wife and I took pictures of a strange dog-like animal in New Hope, PA. A few months later a news story broke about an animal the reporter (J D Mullane) dubbed the ‘Yardley Yeti’. Apparently others had seen it, too, include ABC reporter Don Polec.
I knew the police chief in that area so I emailed him the pics that we’d taken. They were posted in the papers, online (Cryptomundo has some), and were featured in a segment of Don Polec’s world.
Leading theory was that it was a red fox with mange; though two vets and an exotic animals expert from a local zoo said that it wasn’t a fox and that they didn’t know what it was.
I’d be happy to email the photos to you.
I’ve written about it in two of my nonfiction books, but we still don’t know, and sightings continue.
