Evidence

In the summer of 1969 on Lake Worth, there were many sitings and documentations of the strange creature known as the goatman.  From the first siting to the last, there were many stories and reports eyewitnesses made to police officers.  The first reported siting was the most significant.  This report was on July 10, 1969 in an article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, written by Jim Marrs just a few hours after the initial siting.  Marrs details the siting by three couples who saw a half goat, half man creature with scales jump on one of their cars.  In doing so, the creature left a eighteen inch scratch on the car (Stefko).  There are many other eyewitness accounts.  One encounter that stands out occurred shortly after the first reported siting.  Police officers in addition to thirty or forty citizens heard the creature squalling and watched it run up and down a hill several times. When they started to go after the goatman, he threw a tire down the hill at the cars.  Photographs were taken at that time, but none have a good likeness of the creature (Lindseth).
