'Gollum-like' monster emerges from lake - The slimy beast terrified local children who killed it

A slimy, glob-like creature dubbed Gollum has terrified children after it slithered out of a lake and clambered over the rocks towards them.

The young teenagers were playing by the waterfront in a Panama lake near Cerro Azul when the bald beast emerged from a cave behind a waterfall. They started screaming as it shuffled out "as if to attack them".

Locals told Panama news the monster was like "Gollum from Lord of the Rings".

One said: "I have only seen that creature once before - and it was in the Tolkien film."

But in a "desperate bid to defend themselves" four children grabbed rocks from the beach and hurled them at the beast.

What the hell?!

[wastedyears]

I see the resemblance.

[mylife]

I dont see any blunt trauma. Smells like BS to me

[El Cid]

Damn. Based on the title I was afraid someone had offed Mr. Carville after a swim. Glad to hear he’s safe...

[txhurl]

WTF is that!

[cripplecreek]

I can’t help but wonder why the people who always find these things can never get a really good picture.

[Dumpster Baby]

It just wanted to mate - it was the last of its kind.....

The creature’s last words were:

“E T phone home....”

[diamond6]

Does not look real.

[Army Air Corps]

Beats the heck outta me, amiga.

[Krankor]

He looks kinda sad to me. I have a feeling the real monsters were the kids that killed him.

[mylife]

Those are some impressive pics, but I still dont believe it

[Danae]

SRSLY WTF IS THAT?

Theories:

1. That's a victim of NHS healthcare and a preview of us all on Obamacare.
2. Recent test subject of the Swine Flu vaccine.
3. Holder of Obama's real birth certificate.
4. Latest Hollywood diet fad.
5. E.T. Angry parents will be arriving soon.

   For the record, I want the birth certificate cases pursued, I'll probably take the Swine Flu vaccine and haven't bought the conspiracy theories about it, and I believe Obamacare does have death committies, they just have nothing to do with end of life counseling but rather "cost justification" calculations.

Looks like the Eraserhead baby:

dead dog...been in the water

in a Panama lake near Cerro Azul

[cripplecreek]

Impressive pics would be of the whole animal from multiple angles both top of body and bottom. After all, it was dead so it wasn’t like there was any rush.

I’m going with BS on this one.

[GeronL]

Not your friend? =o)

[omega4179]

Newsflash, we can beat the Aliens with rocks!

[GeronL]

Golem looks more like James Carville

[txhurl]

It’s bloated, looks like the kids didn’t turn the tag in for a day or so....... what is this thing?

[mylife]

Yup. Creature from the BS Lagoon

[netmilsmom]

Thank you!
Makes perfect sense.

[Free ThinkerNY]

All across America, people are saying the same thing.

[steveo]

As if anyone still alive (besides me) knows WTH you’re talking about?!?!

[BenLurkin]

Baseball bats.

And glasses of water.

Without reading the story, let me guess - either the children can’t remember precisely where it happened, or upon returning to retrieve the “body”, it magically wasn’t there anymore?

[GeronL]

That could have been some kind of hairless cat or dog or... something... hairless sloth??

[cripplecreek]

[OldDeckHand]

"Baseball bats. And glasses of water."

A highly underrated movie, probably because in the end a person's faith was restored and validated, which secular critics are required to hate.

[cripplecreek]

I think you’ve got it but I doubt the kids killed it.

[annieokie]

Anything you say about this poor creature is RACIST or Sexist or any other kind of “IST” that will serve the progressive agenda. If it had only had Obamacare it would not have had to suffer so. sarc/

[Monkey Face]

Yah...I see that....

[txhurl]

LOFL!

(they hate that squirrel)(what’s rosco karnes frname?)

[Rocko]

You’d be surprised.

[wrench]

It is a still-born calf. See the hoove in one pic?

This animal died before birth, it never chased anyone.

[Monkey Face]

OIIII!!!

[Sax]

oooh, I'm so sexy. I lick my arm pits, and you sketch me like the young french girls. Oh, yeah, this is hot, yeah you know it...

[GeronL]

I think that argument is specist

[B-Chan]

Gah! Señor Wences! I used to hate it when he’d come on Ed Sullivan!

[mills044]

There was a story a while back about a creature that washed up on the beach in the US — Looked very similar. The thing ended up being a decomposed racoon, if I’m not mistaken...

The mystery monster of Montauk!

[silverleaf]

That was ET. He was here to end war and cure all diseases.

Oh well.

[mamelukesabre]

That is a tree sloth.

Dead, bloated, and hair missing. Those kids lied. They did not kill it. It’s obviously been dead and floating in water for quite some time.

[BGHater]

Yes, it’s a hairless sloth. Just like the chucabara in TX is a fox with mange.
