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!
