Apparently, this newly trending Montauk Monster crawled up out of the ocean onto land at Montauk, Long Island, New York. This, by the way, is the same town of Montauk already associated with other monsters. The original story did not clarify this, so that caused me to believe that perhaps there is another Montauk somewhere. Nope, forget that, it's the same Montauk. One mystery down, 9,999 more to go , and tops on this list, who or what succeeded in naming this incident "monster" ? :)
