Monster's Guarding Gates

By cabala, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

When a player moves in Arkham and stops on a location that has a gate open on it, he must deal with the monster or evade it before entering the gate in the Arkham Encounter phase.

If you choose to evade it, then go through the gate into the otherworld, performing your two encounters there and then later returning to the same location with the monster still present, you do not have to combat or evade the monster until next turn.

But during this turn, and on the next phase (Arkham encounters) you have the option to close/seal the gate because you recently aquired a "explored marker" for exploring the otherworld. If you successfully close or seal the gate, and the monster's marker at the location where the gate just sealed does not match the gate marker symbol, what happens to the monster?

Does it simply get ejceted to the adjacent street of that connecting neighborhood?

Thanks for the help, I have read almost all of the various FAQs and don't see this answer explicitly stated?

The monster will stay at the location.

Note that while monsters can't enter/ appear in sealed locations, but the monster in your example was already at the location when the gate was sealed(if you've sealed it, that is).so it stays there. You'll have to deal with the monster on your next turn during the movement phase.
