🦎 Montauk Murmurs: Lizardman-Like Creature Reported Near Shore

📍 Montauk, Long Island, NY | 🗓️ July 4, 2025 | 🧾 Category: Cryptid / Regional Legend

While Americans were grilling hot dogs and lighting sparklers, something… else… was creeping out of the tide. 🌊

Just before sunset on July 3rd, several startled beachgoers near Ditch Plains Beach in Montauk reported a bizarre humanoid figure wading through the shoreline fog—described as tall, mossy, and reptilian with glowing eyes and a weird, gliding gait. One witness whispered, “It didn’t walk like a man. It slithered… but upright.” 🧍‍♂️🦎

Some speculated it was a swimmer covered in kelp. Others weren’t so sure. Add in Montauk’s murky past—from the infamous Montauk Project to nearby Plum Island whispers—and you’ve got the perfect recipe for coastal paranoia. One local dubbed the creature the “Beast of Squaw Island.”

📸 Footage? Barely legible. A few frames of sea spray, a blur, and a panicked scream. But something definitely moved in that fog—and it wasn’t fireworks. 🎇

When a soggy lizardman gatecrashes your Fourth of July, maybe the real fireworks are still lurking in the mist. Next time you hit the beach, bring bug spray… and a Geiger counter.
