Lake Worth Monster Revisited
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 20th, 2012
I’m looking forward to returning to Texas, and examining closely Lake Worth.
Yes, 43 years ago, the Lake Worth Monster visited a little corner of Texas.
See y’all at Cryptopalooza.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
As a Ft. Worth native, I look forward to your take on the area. Watch out for gators, though, they’re definitely in that area.
This is what started me on my interest. We lived very close to here and out in the sticks. I always knew that someday he was going to come in my bedroom window some night. This phobia was further enhanced by BOGGY CREEK.
I have seen a Bigfoot twice. I suspect the Lake Worth Monster to be a HOAX. I have lived here in or near to Fort Worth all of my life (55 years).
The picture looks like a guy in a fur coat and nothing like the Bigfoot I have seen. Teens with nothing better to do than to make stuff up.
Come down to Ellis County and do a little digging on the Chambers Creek Monster (and the Goat-Man of Emhouse, too) if you have the time.
well, yeah, but it’s still fun to talk about, right? I even saw a play about it, put on by the Hip Pocket Theater in 1992 or so. Remember them, the outdoor theater who performed out in the woods west of town?
I investigated the creature in 1989 with Sallie Ann Clark and still have my notes as I spent the Night at this preserve. It was interesting to find certain hidden trails where I found interesting human like prints that were 15 inches long. There seemed to be a migrating pattern which are started by certain seasons. My findings were indeed real and very strange.
