PLUM ISLAND, N.Y. (WPIX) - An alleged mutated human body washed ashore on Plumb Island, a small island where the U.S. Government typically studies dangerous animal diseases.A security guard on foot patrol reportedly discovered the clothed decomposing body Thursday afternoon on the southwest beach area of the island, where access is restricted, police said.
The body was described as that of a white male about 6-feet tall with a large build and "very long" fingers. According to authorities, there were no obvious signs of trauma.
An autopsy will be conducted by the Suffolk County medical examiner in order to determine an exact cause of death.
Plum Island, which is located about 100 miles northeast of New York City in the Long Island Sound, has been called a potential target for terrorists because of its stock of vaccines and diseases.
The above report was all over the Internet sites recently. The body was found January 15th on the Shore of Plum Island, which is located only about a mile off the shore of Long Island New York.
The locals of Long Island know Plum Island for its top-secret activities. It has been known as the best kept secret of the dangerous kind for a very long time to native east end Long Islanders. No one ever knew exactly what all the strange scientists where working on as Plum Island was a protected guarded top secret projects that sat openly on the small island known as Plum Island directly off the long island coast.
If you were not from the Long Island area you most likely never heard of the place. The odd thing about Plum Island is that it not only has been the home of extremely dangerous experiments and lab procedures for many years - it was done right off the coast of Long Island which is just a short distance from one of the biggest cities in the world. The fact that this extremely dangerous place existed for so many years so close to such a densely populated part of the country has always made the locals of Long Island scratch their heads.
I grew up on the end of Long Island. I always knew Plum Island as a place of Frankenstein type experiments and top-secret projects. Living close to Plum Island and Brookhaven Lab we often felt the paranormal events the coastal communities of Long Island experienced had links to these dangerous centers. The fact that Long Island sticks out into the ocean surrounded by open sky and sea makes it a good choice for strange events.
Years ago Long Island was far less populated on the eastern end which added to the draw of those who wanted to hide what they were doing yet have easy access to the ocean or in the other direction the entire population of the tri county area. I always found the placement of both Plum Island and Brookhaven Lab- just plum crazy!
Growing up in the 50's and 60's along the shore of Long Island in a small country area was both wonderful and different. The wonderful part came with the advantage of living on a River that was linked with easy access to the beaches and beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Difficult were the times many of us had sightings of odd crafts and beings that were frightening, confusing and traumatic.
I often felt that the presence of both Plum Island and Brookhaven Lab added to the odds of Island natives having sightings of UFO's, Lost Time events and encounters with strange beings. I have written about all of these things, which occurred during the hay day of Plum Island by the locals living along the Long Island small Towns.
The idea crossed my mind many times that the creature my friends and family encountered in the mid 60's hiding in our house may have had a link to Plum Island
The creature we encountered was of abnormal strength with the ability to rip a large window frame and all from the side of a house as well as leaving a horrific stench behind for days after being in our home. The creature we experienced then was not human yet was an intelligent as well as dangerous beast that was stalking, waiting and wanting to harm us.
Thank goodness my friends and I realized this creature was laying wait in my house making it possible for us to call for help. Other wise I would not be here today to write about the event. Experiences like that made us fully aware things were just not perfectly normal along the coast of Long Island.
Having written many stories about events people have endured on Long Island I know this island is a paranormal haven. The fact I once lived close to Plum Island and Brookhaven Lab may be part of the reason I had experiences with the unknown while living on Long Island. I think the short distance from vast open sea to full blown urban populations also gives Long Island the edge as a place to draw strange things to happen. It is within a short distance to a large population base yet close to a quick getaway of open land and sea.
I was not shocked at all to read the story about the body being found on Plum Island. I am sure like other things found on or near Plum Island a neat little packaged story will appear explaining away what they found so it can quickly and quietly be swept under the rug and thought of no more!
That may fool most of the people most of the time - but for old Islanders the fact will more likely be accepted that another odd creature was found on Plum- and we will go on never knowing what it is that creeps along the coastal shores on cold Long Island night!.
