Comments for Could the 'Montauk Monster' Photo Have Been Faked? | Newsweek Culture | Newsweek.com »
Posted By smithichie 1 year, 2 months ago in NewsWhen a mysterious creature washed up on the shores of Montauk , N.Y., in late July, it became an instant media sensation. After the photograph of the Montauk Monster ran on Manhattan media blog Gawker , local Long Island newspapers were on the story. CNN and Fox News quickly followed, hosting experts to hash out what exactly this unrecognizeable being was. Perhaps a bloated raccoon, as Discover Magazine claimed and Jeff Corwin told Fox ? A dead dog that had decayed for weeks? Or, the latest spin: The creature was simply fake, a prop in a movie’s viral marketing campaign , and the media had been duped.
