That thing you are staring at and trying desperately to understand is a "Chupacabra/Montauk Monster." Or at least that is what the tipster who sent it into Vice called it. It supposedly washed up on a San Diego beach just last week. At approximately two feet in length, it has the face of some sort of tusked boar and makes a weekly appearance in my nightmares. Whether you believe that it is real or not it is up to you to decide, but I am pretty sure that is the most terrible seademon you will see today. And one more for our collection of Montauk Monsters.

As though Poseidon himself sent me one of his most precious and rare creatures for my traffic day.

It could just be a trick of the light. But the terrifying face in this picture could be something more sinister. At first glance, there is nothing untoward and the image has divided the internet between the people who can see it, and those who cannot. Once it is pointed out, however, it is difficult to take your eyes away from the face that suddenly becomes clear.

The origins of the picture are unclear, but it's possible that it was actually created by someone hiding behind the cushion while being photographed. Or it could be something that somebody has been created using Photoshop. However it was made, it is hard to look away or get the image out of your head.
