Secrets of Plum Island: Human and Animal Experimentation Gone Wrong!

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This week, your curator Zach has the conspiracies and theories surrounding New York's Plum Island

What if a mysterious creature washed ashore and hinted at secret government experiments? Join us on this episode of the Oddity Shop as we unravel the enigmatic history of Montauk, New York, and the infamous Plum Island Animal Disease Center. We dive into the tale of the Montauk Monster, a strange carcass that appeared in 2008, and discuss its potential ties to Plum Island's secretive research. From the island's role as a defense center against animal diseases to unsettling rumors of genetic experiments and biological weapons, we examine the chilling connections to historical events like Operation Paperclip and the presence of Nazi scientist Eric Traub in the U.S. 

As the episode delves deeper into conspiracy territory, we tackle theories linking Plum Island to the spread of Lyme disease and hybrid animal experiments. 

Finally, we wrap up by encouraging our listeners to share their thoughts, leave reviews, and help spread the word about our show. Plus, don't miss our catchy jingle that captures the fun and welcoming spirit of the Oddity Shop!
