Mason, OH
Rumors of the "fish monster" ran rampant around the internet after local residents spotted what they claimed was a scaly man-like creature coming out of the Little Miami River. A video of the supposed monster showed up on YouTube not too long after these initial claims. Video analyzers and park officials at Kings Island, where many claimed to have seen the monster the past two weekends, are declaring that the "fish monster" was an elaborate hoax.
"That's not a hoax, that was real!" local resident Jimbo Shrimp argued yesterday. "I saw it with my own eyes, and I saw its death. Yes, it died. This bigger, meaner, generally SCARIER monster came out of nowhere, and bit into the fish monster's neck. It looked like it sliced open the jugular vein of the fish monster. As soon as the fish monster was down on the ground, this new monster pulled it into the woods by that dance club in the area."
When asked to describe this new "monster", Mr. Shrimp stated simply, "I didn't get a good look at it, but from what I saw, it had massive ears."
Mr. Shrimp has been relocated to the nearby mental institution.
