Creating this thread for posting links about the Oak Beach area.
And now for some more Gilgo-Oak Beach weirdness:

According to this site http://www.bragino.com/archives/date/2007/07 the skull mural was completed in 2007.
P.S. I'll save you the trouble of counting the skulls...there are 10.
Almost sounds like the town of Babylon inadvertently invited people to dump bodies along Oak Beach Parkway.
The Tombstones of Oak BeachArticle link
Since the 1990s, the town of Babylon has been dumping grave markers into the waters off of Oak Beach. The stones act as jetties, helping to prevent erosion of the beach. The stones are defective and were never used as markers for actual graves due to flaws or misprints. As jetties, the stones have a purpose and aren't just wasted. As of this writing there are more than 800 gravestones in the water of Great South Bay. The stones span from Oak Beach to Venetian Shores Park on the opposite shore (more than 3 and a half miles), passing by Oak Island and Grass Island.
Weird in that tombstone jetties are out of the ordinary. In light of the bodies lined up along that particular shoreline, it seems possible the killer sees that area as a graveyard. It would perhaps, be... poetic to him. Whatever the case, hopefully LE has checked the tombstones that are directly across from each set of remains to see if the killer left anything of significance. If they found nothing, then it rules out any psychological significance those tombstones may hold for the killer. Otoh, if they found something, then it is but another piece in the killer's psychological puzzle.I don't get why these are weird things.

I agree, it's probably nothing.I'm sure most people that live in the area still aren't aware of it.
I would consider xmas trees to be pretty standard. People dump where they can. As for subways? Okay. Fine too. I do admit, I find using tombstones for jetties to be macabre, even if we weren't discussing a murder case, but that's just me.Honestly, using stone tombstones for a jetty is not weird.
There are subway cars in the water, too. Is that weird? No.
You use what you can to keep the water at bay.

There are Christmas trees in the dunes, too.
I agree and my bad. Thanks to our wonderful mods, they changed the title approx 45 minutes before you made this post.I find the title of this thread offensive - just MOO.
The headstones aren't sticking out of the water like a cemetery.maybe the SK saw the mural and started dumping near there? That makes more sense, given the mural was painted in 07. It is creepy though. Along with the head stones in the bay.....that sounds like quite a sight.
Except that... Jim Jones (aka Mike D) claims ( link )Susan, the water is very deep, you would never see them unless you dive.
From the main thread, and to keep context.

I went to Oak Island Beach today where SG was last seen. Weird place. The shoreline around the community center and the rest of the area is built up using hundreds of discarded headstones- complete with names, dates and epitaphs of the deceased. Standing on some I could see JB’s house just a hundred yards away.

Sitting on those headstones looking out toward the bay today made me think this could be one of his favorite and even meaningful spots. The headstones beneath you give you the sense of being in the presence of death. And the way they were discarded without any thought or dignity reminded me of how he views and discards the bodies of the prostitutes.
Thanks for the clarification. I was trying to recall what got me latched onto the tombstone thing in the first place, then remembered that guy's post. He sure does wax poetic... And yes, I agree, he does seem to be full of... something. For what reason is anyone's guess.I think Mike/Jim is full of it. The stones are in water. How was he "standing on them looking out to the bay"? And I would love to know how he could see JB's house from there. The markers are in the water on the north side of the island. JB's house is on the south side.
Agreed. Which begs the question, "Why?"He very well may have been there and saw JB's house. But he's making up the part about sitting on tombstones with people's names engraved on them.

Hey, we're talking about someone who pick the name Jim Jones as his moniker. LOL
