For those of you who do not know this story, it is an old folk lore. Lake Worth is next to Ft.Worth, TX. I use to leave near here. I had heard the stories my self of a half goat, half man creature lurking on a tiny little island in the lake.
But, what doesn't end up in these stories is the fact that Carswell Airforce base is off the same lake, 1/2 mile away. Carswell AFB is one of the locations where the supposed "Rosewell" UFO and ET had ended up. Have anything in common???
Here is a little part of the story:
Lake Worth Monster: This case hit the public consciousness in the summer of 1969. While America was caught up in the moon landing, sightings of this hairy creature were being reported in the Greer Island area of Lake Worth in Fort Worth, Texas. The animal was described as being approximately seven feet tall, weighing in the neighborhood of three hundred pounds, covered with white hair and walked upright like a man. It was seen repeatedly throughout the year and during July the area was packed with locals who had witnessed the beast. At one point it was said to have become annoyed at the onlookers and hurled an automobile wheel and tire at them from the distance of five hundred feet. Needless to say, they leapt into their cars and departed the area post haste.
The last sighting of the creature that year was by Charles Buchanan on November 7. He was sleeping in the open bed of his pickup truck and was awakened when his sleeping bag was suddenly grabbed by a creature and was pulled from the truck. He stuffed a bag of chicken in its mouth and it shuffled off into the water and swam towards Greer Island.

No. Bad Winona.
We should accept the word of people we don't know at face value.
And the very fact that something else was true should be enough to convince you that this is true too. |

The first questions popping into my mind are...
"When exactly did Stephen move out of the area?"
"Does it coincide with the halting of sightings???" |

Hey, there's actually a band in Ft. Worth who wrote a song about the Goat Man, wild, huh?
If you want to hear it, it's called Fury of the Goatman, and can be heard here:

I didn't know anything about the goatman until I read about it online because I was trying to figure out what the hell I saw. This thing, whatever it is, is REAL. I swear to God I saw it in Southlake, Texas. At first I thought it was a big dog walking on all fours, then it got up and went to hide behind a tree. It was man-sized and its eyes glowed like an animals when I shone the flashlight on them. I saw it on a neighborhood street bordering on a wooded area off Dove street, around 4 AM. This happened I think in early March. I am not making this up. I don't know what it is, but I don't lean toward explanations that involve the various folklore surrounding it (devil worship, werewolves, etc.) and it did not look like a goat to me so I don't know where that comes from. There were no horns that I could see.
It scared the hell out of me to have it come creeping up like it did, and when I got my maglite it slinked away fast without a trace. This thing is NOT a hoax, but I don't know what the hell it is. At first it moved like an animal, then like a man. Very weird! |

Sorry to interrupt your thread... I used to go to Lake Worth and hang around an old house(?). All that was there was a cement floor, rock walls 1/2-way up, and 2 rock chimneys. There was a winding rock staircase leading down to a huge rock in the water. I think it was off of Cahoba, by Lover's Lookout. It's been a long time since I've been there. Anybody know what the heck that thing was? Please e-mail me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) |

Muck: Does the name "Lookout Point" sound familiar? Or at least think that is what it was called. How many times did you makeout at that point, or at least down by the rock. As you can tell, I'm from Lake Worth and I actually remember when the Goatman was first seen and even went looking for him one night. Didn't find him tho. There was write ups in the paper and even statues of him that you could buy at the gas stations by the Lake Worth Bridge. Now, I wish I would have bought one. |

Actually I just moved from Lake Worth. I never saw the goatman. My neighbors were pretty scary though. All that neighborhood lacks is some inbred sitting on a porch playing that Deliverance song on a banjo. Freaky place. It would not suprise me one bit to see some freaky thing like a goatman there. |

I have had several encounters with an entity that may be the legendary goatman. But they are very brief and very fast. He seems to have a prankish personality enjoying scaring the piss out of people. The very first time I saw him he was inside the body of a man that was visiting someone in my home. I thought at that time and still believe he it is a demon or an evil spirit. I started praying for protection immedietley in the name of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ the son of our heavenly Father Jehovah the one that was and is and always will be. For whatever reason the goatman demon has choosen to make himself known to me free of inhabiting a human body. He moves really fast and has a sinister chaotic personality that seems to really get off on the things he does. Like catching me off guard in my garden. He seems to laugh when he startles me and I let out a scream. I have always prayed as quickly as possible in the name of Jesus and he has had to go without delay. A couple of months ago a friend discribed seeing this same entity to me. She had no way of knowing my experiences with it. But, I had told my boyfriend about these encounters. And he was with me when she shared her story with me. We just sat there listening and when she was finish telling what she had seem. I told what I had seem. Her boyfriend is an artist and she had him draw a scetch of what she had seem before we ever shared our stories she also demonstrated how it moved. Because of these things I believe we experinced the same entity or same kind of entity. |

THe house referred to above near look out point is now the "Bail Bonds Man" house. It had partially burned a long time ago, maybe 30 years ago and redid later, so if it was that long ago that you were in the house with 1/2 walls that is it. The Castle is not near the water and is not up on a cliff to go down any stairs to get to the water. I've lived on Lake Worth for more than 10 years and never have even seen an alligator and I'm up in the swampy part of the lake all the time by Greer island....but it sure is funny to read some of this stuff. There are some interesting characters around this lake, but most of them are ran out by the taxes going up so much now and their shacks are replaced with half a million dollar homes. |

Goatman
by Jann
During January of 2002, I was awakened at night by my dogs as they barked fiercely outside my bedroom window. I sat up in bed then looked out my window where the outside light was sufficient for my viewing. I was very shocked as to what I saw.
There was a goatman creature walking under my pecan tree while my dogs steadily nipped at its heels. This creature was about seven feet tall and standing upright as a man with slightly curved shoulders, with the horns and hooves of a goat. His hands were slightly curled with some very nasty gray fingernails. His skin was a yellowish-green color with sparse hair all about his body. Its legs and body were that of a man.
I didn't see him straight forward, but caught a glance at the side of his face, which was nearly the shape of a man's. I can only say that I was shocked and afraid, but the goatman never turned to look at me and busied himself to walk faster and away from my dogs.
From time to time, I can hear the sound of a goat calling in the night. Strangely, we do not have goats in this area of Normangee, Texas, only cattle. |
