Has the Montauk Monster mystery finally been solved?
FOXNews.com readers will remember the story that gripped the nation last summer a stinking, hairless carcass washed up on the beach in Montauk, N.Y., part of the Hamptons vacation area.
Some speculated it was an escaped mutant from a government lab. Others thought it was an alien. A few suggested it might be a dog or raccoon.
Now one man has come forward, or at least his friend has, to claim it was all the work of him and his buddies.
"I was one of those guys behind that Montauk monster thing last summer," the unnamed individual told blogger Drew Grant over lunch Wednesday.
He then related a tale of finding a dead raccoon in the sand on nearby Shelter Island in late June 2008.
Being young men on vacation, they put the animal on an inflatable child's swim duck, along with a lot of other debris. Then they set it on fire and pushed it out to sea.
"This creature was honored with a Viking funeral, not merely exploited for crass entertainment," the anonymous raccoon undertaker insisted.

That weren't no 'coon. Obviously the government is covering up its evil secret plot of breeding hairless quadruped super soldiers.
LOLOL!
I believe the speculation was that the rest of the snout had rotted away, and what looks like a beak is bone.
Or...did you see Cloverfield??
Nope.
Well...you should....just in case....
These guys are so lying.
Or, maybe not.
“Being young men on vacation, they put the animal on an inflatable child’s swim duck, along with a lot of other debris. Then they set it on fire and pushed it out to sea.”
What does “Being young men on vacation” supposed to mean? That is such a stupid phrase to use. I guess it means do any retarded thing you want to as long as you are young men on vacation.
That would explain it.
The carcass isn’t the only thing that reeks. ;’)
Oh, BTW, I’ve personally faked every UFO and Bigfoot sighting in history; the Loch Ness Monster was fashioned from a 1500 year old pine tree and plastic duck... ;’)
What is he wearing??
Some sort of tarp ?
Your photo is of a European badger. North American badgers look a lot tougher.
No, a raccoon with the flesh of its nose burned off, along with its ears.
Looks to me like he is wearing a ruffled, puffy sleeved womans blouse and skirt.
He looks soooo pwetty.
NOT.....
