This famous image of what many think is the Lake Worth Monster was snapped in 1969 by Allen Plaster. Texas Goatman sightings during the summer of 1969 were rampant in the area, some locals saying that the creature was scratching cars and even jumping onto the roof of one vehicle. Looking back at the photos now, Plaster believes what he captured on film was merely teenage hi-jinks.

He was quoted as saying “Whatever it was, it wanted to be seen. That was a prank. That was somebody out there waiting for people to drive by. I don't think an animal would have acted that way.”

Could the Greer Island Goatman (aka Lake Worth Monster) be a distant cousin of Krampus? Either way, check out the new "on location" doc I just posted on my YT chan. Merry Christmas!

Photo taken 56 years ago today!

The only record we have is a blurry Nov. 19, 1969, Polaroid of a giant, white furball described by one online critic as “some sort of monstrous Bichon Frise.”

Allen Plaster of Fort Worth, then owner of the House of Allen women’s wear shop, said he was driving west on Shoreline Drive with a Weatherford couple at 1:35 a.m. when they saw the Fur Monster stand up across the road.

In a 2006 interview, he said he now considers the sighting a “prank,” adding, “Whatever it was, it wanted to be seen.”
