Atlanta’s very own Montauk Monster
8 Aug
Oh yes, we’ve had our fair share of hoaxes! And at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Crime Museum in Decatur, you can see the result of this venture:
At the height of UFO hysteria then sweeping the nation, two young barbers and a butcher took a dead monkey in 1953, lopped off its tail and applied a liberal dose of hair remover and some green coloring to the carcass.
Within 180 minutes, the GBI called the whole thing off and correctly identified the lil’ critter as a shaved monkey. Yet ANOTHER WAY NEW YORK IS SUPERIOR TO US: they get hoaxes like the Montauk Monster, terrifying mysteries that drag on for well over a week and are rumored to be tied to horrible top-secret government animal eugenics labs or at least a cool new action movie. We get three hicks who decided to dye a monkey corpse green and pass it off as an alien.
