Pics of Teluk Bahang Alien/Monster

posted by Francis Ho

On the subject of strange things, Guan sent me these scary looking pictures and as usual there's no accompany text or explanation apart from the subject header - "TELUK BAHANG Fishermen Found This! Newspaper Not Allowed To Publish??".

And since this is not a newspaper, I'll post it here for you to judge if this another fake like the BigFoot fiasco in Johor! But don't blame me if you have nightmares tonight after seeing these pictures here! Teluk Bahang is a small fishing village at the north western tip of Penang about 5kms from the popular Batu Ferringhi and I suspect this could be a ploy to get more people to visit the place as it was affected by the tsunami, as the corpse looks so 'fresh and new'. Anyone for seafood?

I have the pictures also but don't know for sure whether these are real or some kind of a hoax?

The scales and symmetry of the creature looks damn real to me anyway!

God knows whether this is the real 'mermaid' or deep sea creature washed ashore?

Damn scary looking thing!

It is man made. Some are made of monkey skull and fish body.
It was sold on ebay. See this link.

No, it's not (man-made). It is real. If you read the Q&A on site suggested by Nung (thanks, Nung) you will find it's real, e.g., this one:

Q: Are You Sure It's Not Rubber?It Look's Like Rubber!
Jul-16-06
A: No rubber whatsoever. A friend of mine who does alot of fishing says the skin is real fish skin...study the photos, enlarge them....you can see the scales.

though I cracked up at this one:

Q: I swear this looks like my ex mother in law.. Alway wondered what became of her. I think you may have found her...lol Love your auction :)
Jul-16-06
A: Your ex mother in law must have been a good swimmer!

Unless I'm missing something. Read the Q&A - it's very enlightening. I was skeptical when I received the email last week.

That's a scary mermaid. Quite unlike the one in the fairy tales. However, I think it is a hoax.

As usual, Malaysians are great at (1) stealing photos to forward uncaptioned; and (2) inventing local versions of the story for additional shock value.

I saw this about a week ago and briefly talked about it here.

Reminds me of the 50's sci-fi flick "Creature from the Black Lagoon".

Someone had way too much time on their hands.
