Unfortunately, Monty wasn’t able to run for Vice President this year. He wishes the best of luck to John McCain on election day.
Denise Civiletti has provided us with more information on “The Bayview Beast”. I would consider Denise a credible source because she interviewed an expert on mountain lions and performed her due diligence to write an article for a Long Island publication, “The Suffolk Times” in October of 2008.
Please see Denise’s comments below:
“The Suffolk Times first published this story on Monday Oct. 20. Unlike Newsday, which relied on interviews with officials and records, we went to the site and spoke with two eyewitnesses who saw this big cat on three different occasions, and we saw the places where the cat was seen. The guy who didn’t want us to use his last name really is named “John.” (We have his name but withheld it on his request.)
Newsday did a great disservice by making light of this sighting and likening it to the bloated carcass of a raccoon or something that washed ashore in Montauk and caused a big media sensation — your “Montauk Monster.”
In my opinion, this big cat is real and it’s probably an abandoned pet— yes, pet! Don’t make light of this! This is not uncommon. Stupid people illegally try to domesticate wild animals like this all the time. Then, when they can’t handle them, or when the novelty wears off, they release or abandon them. It’s inhumane. And potentially dangerous. This is no joke.
I interviewed one expert on mountain lions (aka cougars, pumas) this morning who said it’s not impossible for this to be a female puma living in the wild, but he thought it more likely it is an abandoned pet.”

On October 17th 2008 at 9:00 AM the Bayview Beast was spotted strolling across a lawn and into the woods in a neighborhood in Southhold, Long Island. A resident who goes by the name of “John” (he wished to withhold his last name) is quoted saying “I pulled up into my drive-way and I could see it plain as day, walking across my neighbors lawn.” “John” is the gentleman that reported his sighting to police authorities.
In the police report, “John” described the cat-like creature to be 5-6 feet long (holy guacamole!) not including the tail, and resembling the features of a mountain lion. Southold Police authorities feel they ” may be onto something” from the report and descriptions given by “John” as Southold Police Chief, Carlisle Cochran Jr. commented on Friday. Chief Cochran further explained that he “doesn’t think it’s running stray in Bayview,” and “has to believe that it’s somebody’s pet that just gets out once in a while.”
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Conservation said investigators have yet to see any sign of mountain lions. They haven’t found any tangible evidence of scat, feces, or any sort of animal remains. Additionally, spokeswoman Aphrodite Montalvo further claimed that mountain lions haven’t been native to Long Island since pre-Colonial times.
Unfortunately, “John” doesn’t have any pictures of the beast. I found Chief Cochran’s theory to be funny. “Hey, it’s just a pet that gets out every now and then, no problem!” Chief, we’re talking about a 5-6 foot (not including tail, of course) “mountain lion” roaming the streets of Long Island. Being that the state Department of Environmental Conservation is performing further investigations, the the Bayview Beast may be real, as “John” now isn’t the only person who feels we have probably cause. Chief, in all seriousness do you think that somebody is housing a 5-6 foot “pet” in a residential neighborhood in Southold? (It’s great with children.) I’m sure “John” and the other neighbors would have noticed the owner walking the beast with a leash on asking wondering what the heck it is.
But hey, it’s just somebody’s pet that gets out once in a while right? Maybe the 5-6 foot beast took a walk into town to enjoy a cup white chocolate mocha at Starbucks and read Newsday? Chief Carlisle Cochran really believes that this is not a stray animal and has been domesticated on Long Island. (I stick by my story!)
And the question still remains, where is the Bayview Beast now?
This is a www.montauk-monster.com exclusive.
It’s been a few weeks since the “Clapsadle Carcass” emerged on the beach in New London, CT. Upon discovery by the Clapsadle family, very little has been discussed as to where the beast is or who is performing the research on it. It seems apparent that these monsters are real and being handled accordingly by authorities.
I was able to get my hands on some rare pictures of the “Clapsadle Carcass”. This beast looks much different from the original Montauk Monster pictures that were discovered earlier this summer. Loren Coleman of www.cryptomundo.com has appropriately named the bloated carcass. (Alliteration baby!) Seriously, what a great name for it?
An active member of Cyptomundo.com member (sausage1) felt the same:
“I love this story for two reasons. First, we have explanations ranging from sheep to raccoon, from big cat to various sea mammals, which must say something about pinning an animal ID down when the circumstances are just slightly out of the ordinary. Second, the name “Clapsadle”. What a great name! The next time someone sees a badly coiffured mendicant after a night on the pop and says ‘I tell ya it was bigfoot!’ you can say ‘aw, Bob, have a day off, will ya, stop clapsadlin”

Monsters are popping up everywhere! Prior to the discovery of the Montauk Monster, the carcass of a creature had washed up on the shores of Sakhalin, Russia in 2006. The carcass of the creature appears to be reptilian, however it still remains unidentified. According to the people who found the creature they claim it’s not a fish due to structure of the bones and teeth. Additionally, it’s not an alligator or crocodile because it has a skin that contains hair or fur. Once again, the creature is not available for public viewing. It has been taken in by Russian Special Services for further examination. People are referring to the creature as the Moscow Monster. Weird stuff!
Beastie’s Back! Just when the Summer of 2008 has come to an end, it’s come to our attention that another monster has been found at Ocean Beach Park, in New London Connecticut. It was found by the Clapsadle family while walking on the beach. They were kind enough to take pictures to share. There certainly is a resemblance to the Montauk Monster as the snout looks the same as the beast that washed ashore this summer in Montauk, NY. The proximity of Ocean Beach Park is much closer to Plum Island than Montauk, so now there is a stronger likelihood to confirm that this may be the result of a genetic mishap.
Michael and Mitchell Clapsadle (above) are pictured standing over the carcass of the beast they discovered while walking with their parents, (Tom and Bobbette Clapsadle) at Ocean Beach Park in New London. The family said the creature attracted their interest because of its striking resemblance to the “Montauk Monster” that washed ashore this summer.
The Clapsadle family claims that the carcass did not emit a foul odor as the “Montauk Monster” found this summer did. Of course, this can be attributed to the hot sun beating on the animal, but the pictures above indicate there is a strong linking between the two.
Ocean Beach Park Manager, (Dave Sugrue) jokingly mentioned that he’s seen “CIA guys” walking around the area where “Montie’s brother” was found. Sorry Dave, but when the CIA is involved the nature of the discovery escalates. It’s really not something to joke about.
Mysteriously, the whereabouts of the creature are no where to be found.
Warm Regards,
Nicky Papers

Rita, a long time reader and active contributer in comments section of many posts, sheds new light on the whereabouts of the Montauk Monster. In a response to Hippy; (see below) Rita claims her family has the decomposed remains of the Montauk Monster. Please take the time to read Rita’s previous comments as they seem to provide factual information.
Rita, thank you for your support on this site. If you wish to make further statements I will be happy to post them for our readers.
“To Hippy:
Been a little busy but thanks for asking where I have been. To answer your questions no I am not seeking forgivness from my parents souls as most would only do that if you did somthing wrong or lied, in which I did neither. My family owes me nothing because we know the truth and they still have the remains. Definately NOT pitching a movie, have more important things to do than pitch a low budget, straight to DVD movie.
There are pictures but can not be posted under a confidentiality agreement from the lawyers representing the family and the other parties involved in this whole thing. Sometimes people should just have a little confidence in others and in the end the truth comes out.”
It’s been a few weeks since my last post on Montauk-Monster.com. Things in my life have been hectic, (family, work, etc.) so I apologize in advance for not being more diligent with the postings as of recently.
A series of facts and articles have appeared in numerous publications going over the theories which have been proposed on my website. Due to the amount of e-mails I’ve received from our readers, I’ll try and bring all up to date with a short list of recent events.
The Montauk Monster is still a mystery. If it’s not a movie prop, then what is it and where did it go? Some say it was stolen from the backyard it was originally taken to. Others insist that it was a genetic mishap as the result of an experiment gone wrong on Plum Island. At this point, I don’t know what to believe. Too many people were on the beach the day “beastie” was discovered for us to forget. Sure, it’s fun keeping this a mystery, but at the same time I think the truth needs to come out now. It’s been long enough.
