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.

This is what I do not understand... after the monster was found there was IMMEDIATE speculation that it was simply a racoon. Wouldn’t this be easy enough to verify? Why has the mystery lasted this long?

With 2 weeks between the viking funeral and the siting, it seems hard to believe this is the same creature. I know a carcass wouldn't last two weeks in a Texas summer.

"This creature was honored with a Viking funeral, not merely exploited for crass entertainment," the anonymous raccoon undertaker insisted. It should be noted that the anonymous raccoon undertaker initially greeted the interviewer with, "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother, Darryl . . . "

That don’t look like no dead raccoon on a raft, burnt or not.
