Boggy Creek Casebook

LAKE WORTH MONSTER:
The True Story of the Greer Island Goatman

LegendScape Publishing / 178 pages / 39 photos / 11 illustrations / 4 maps
[ Paperback, Kindle ]

On the night of July 10, 1969, a woman was attacked by something monstrous while parked on the shores of Lake Worth, several miles north of Fort Worth, Texas. Described as a huge, bipedal beast with white hair and horns, it was seen by nearly 40 people the following night. For months thereafter, the alleged monster was sighted numerous times as a series of frightening encounters made headlines and were investigated by police.

To this day, the case of the Lake Worth Monster remains an unsolved mystery awash in wild claims, hazy photos, and reports by eyewitnesses who were convinced they encountered an unknown creature. What was it that stalked the shady shores of Lake Worth in the Summer of Love? Find out as Blackburn explores this hair-raising, Texas-sized legend, offering new insight, startling facts, and never-before published interviews, photos, and maps!
