Comments(0)
Word has reached Cryptomundo from the family of Sallie Ann Clarke, 80, that she passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2009.
Clarke was a tireless researcher and chronicler of the 1969 “Lake Worth Monster” or “Goatman” of Texas. Clarke wrote a book in September 1969, with the creature’s name as the title, a book that she admitted years later was partially fictional. She wrote it before her own experiences.
The original sightings began on the night of July 9, 1969, at the same time a little thing called Woodstock was getting lots of media attention. The next day, the local monster coverage began, with an article headlined, “Fishy Man-Goat Terrifies Couples Parked at Lake Worth.” Jim Marrs, who would later become famous for his book on the JFK assassination that Oliver Stone used, broke that first story.
Lake Worth, about 15 miles from Fort Worth, was a popular lovers’ lane hangout.
