On October 13, community member Addlepated discovered

from a video showing a colossal discovery on the coast of Southern
India posted on
href=”http://www.snopes.com/photos/tsunami/colossus.asp”
target=”_blank”>Snopes. Over the next several days, different
entries appeared on this site ranging from an underwater
statue/fossil of a fish in the Philippines to giant
footprints found in Northeastern Iran.On October 21, an entry titled “Giant Creature Discovered in Siberia”
appeared on the site. The entry linked to
href=”http://arkadysimkin.pl” target=”_blank”>Arkady Simkin’s personal
website. On here, there was a
href=”http://arkadysimkin.pl/Siberian_Ice_Giant.wmv”
target=”_blank”>video and a
href=”http://arkadysimkin.pl/radio_interview.mp3″ target=”_blank”>
radio interview detailing the discovery of a “mammoth type
creature” found in the Arctic by irregular radar readings.After sending an email asking if Mr. Simkin wanted assistance, I
received a very lengthy email reply from a friend of his who told me
the site had been compromised, and Mr. Simkin’s email link changed to
a different one. His apartment has also been ransacked, and he is
currently ‘out of sight from those who would like to find him’.Is this real? Is it the start of a big production ARG? Either way,
there is definitely activity surrounding this discovery. I believe
our community should begin to take a look. If nothing else, our
abilities to find out information and problem solving could help with
this new find in the Arctic.
Discussion and information can be found here. Thanks, Max!
