The Lake Worth Monster

The Lake Worth Monster

The year 1969 is one of the most historically eventful years in the history of the United States. Pop culture, counterculture, culture wars, the fight for equal rights, and a war that seemed to neither have an end nor purpose. But in the Summer of 69, folks in Fort Worth, Texas and the surrounding areas took respite from the stresses of this vital but anxiety inducing year by hunting down a thing. Reports of a creature who lived in the deep, dense thicket on Lake Worth’s Greer Island who came out only at night, seemingly to terrorize lovers in their parked cars. By the time the summer ended, nearly 100 folks had claimed they’d caught a glimpse of this half-goat, half-man who quickly became known as The Lake Worth Monster. To this day, no one knows what really happened; was the thing a hoax or was it an unknown species – a monster?

We hope you enjoy listening to this special Halloween episode, this palate cleanser of sorts, as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
