On the night of July 10, 1969, John Reichart was fishing near Greer Island on the shores of Lake Worth, about ten miles from Fort Worth, Texas, while his wife Linda sat in their car reading a book. Moments after John finally hooked a large catfish, he heard his wife screaming in terror and turned to see something moving around on top of the car. As he raced to help, this thing was now on the ground and next to the passenger window, appearing to try to get at Linda. John instinctively lunged at this creature, shoving it away from the car while getting a good look at it. He described it as massive and standing on two legs, horns on its head, covered with white hair and what seemed like shiny fish scales; some kind of human-animal hybrid he said was "half man, half goat." The Reicharts weren't the only witnesses to this scary scuffle as two other couples parked nearby also saw the entire horrifying incident. Almost forty people claimed to have seen the same beast the next night, with sightings continuing for months afterward, generating news coverage and a police investigation. Our friend, author, musician, and intrepid cryptid hunter, Lyle Blackburn, once again deftly and comprehensively investigates one of the strangest and most disturbing creature encounters in Texas and U.S. history in his latest book, Lake Worth Monster: The True Story of the Greer Island Goatman. Please join us as we welcome Lyle to discuss the particulars of a brute so bizarre it makes a plain old Bigfoot seem ordinary by comparison. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.
This week, I am delighted to welcome back Lyle Blackburn to the show to cover one the Lone Star state's most infamous cryptid cases. The Lake Worth Monster cases erupted in that hot summer of 1969 which left dozens of witnesses baffled, locals forming monster hunting posse's and a slew of strange characters claiming they were responsible. Lyle also discuss the curious case of the Cowman of Copalis Beach, an often overlooked Bigfoot encounter first uploaded on line way back in 1995!

On June 29, 1988, around 2:30 a.m., Christopher "Chris" Davis drove home after working the night shift at his local McDonald's. Driving along Browntown Road, which cuts through the dense woods of Scape Ore Swamp in South Carolina, Chris hears the pop of a flat tire on his car. As he finishes installing the spare, he notices something large and dark coming out of the trees, moving towards him about 30 yards away and swinging its arms. In an interview with The Item newspaper, Chris described seeing this humanoid creature with glowing red eyes close up, saying it was "green, wetlike, about seven feet tall and had three fingers... a red-eyed devil." Terrified, Davis ran to the driver's door and jumped in. Once inside, this bipedal beast was now right outside his window, where he could see it from the neck down. It then jumped up onto the roof of his car, where he could see its "rough-looking, black-fingernailed hands, sticking down from the windshield." The cryptid deeply grunts as Chris peels out, attempting to escape. As he estimated he was driving about 35-40 mph, this thing had caught up to the car and jumped onto the roof again, banging and clawing at it. The creature finally fell off as he swerved frantically, racing home. This encounter would become the best-known report of this impossible monster emerging from Scape Ore Swamp, but it was not the first, nor would it be the last. At least one verified account tells of a sighting occurring two years prior, and a handful of police reports describe run-ins that happened in the years following Davis's experience. Chris Davis never called it the "Lizard Man," but residents had already labeled some previously seen brute by that description. And when a local reporter printed the nickname, the moniker stuck in the broader public's imagination. Sheriff Liston Truesdale was the one person who vetted all the claims, took reports from witnesses, and investigated their stories. And we're fortunate and grateful to have on our show tonight the one person who spent time interviewing Sheriff Truesdale, questioned locals, visited locations, and wrote a book about it all, our friend and noted cryptozoology researcher and author Lyle Blackburn. Lyle's 2013 book, Lizard Man: The True Story of the Bishopville Monster, is the phenomenon's most comprehensive and detailed history. As the sightings and questions continue, perhaps the most puzzling and troubling thing is whether everyone sees the same being and whether it is reptilian, more Bigfoot-like, or some other horror altogether. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

In 1988, the small town of Bishopville was about find itself smack bang in the middle of a monster flap that attracted world wide attention. When locals began reporting some strange reports of damaged vehicles, the authorities appeal for help took a decidely strange turn. What started as some unusual vandalism turned in to a collection of reports of encounters with some chilling and disturbing encounters with a weird bipedal creature lurking near Scape Ore Swamp. Joining me to return to one of his earliest cases is author, researcher and rock god Lyle Blackburn.

In this episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast, we are joined by John, a listener from Texas, who shares an intriguing tale from his past. Growing up immersed in the wilds of Deep East Texas, John's childhood was filled with hunting, fishing, and exploring the dense forests. Yet, a haunting experience one night in 1983 left a profound impact on him, changing his perception of the woods he once knew so well. John and Mark, his sister's boyfriend, found themselves in an unexpected situation that night, which John recounts with vivid detail. The experience evidently shaped his attitude towards the outdoors for years to come.Resources:Texas Bigfoot by Lyle Blackburn: https://amzn.to/3vl1M7u (Amazon Affiliate link)Share your Bigfoot encounter here: bigfootsociety@gmail.com

My special guest tonight is author and cryptozoologist Lyle Blackburn who's here to discuss an upright walking creature that resembles a lizard terrorizing a town in South Carolina. From the swamplands near Bishopville, South Carolina, come reports of a seven-foot-tall, scaly humanoid creature the locals call the "Lizard Man." Over the years, the creature has been seen by numerous witnesses, including a teenager who claimed it attacked him one night near a remote area called Scape Ore Swamp. The young man's testimony and physical evidence was so compelling, it not only launched a serious investigation by the local sheriff's office but an all-out monster hunt that drew hundreds of people to the small town. This real-life "creature from the black lagoon" has inspired major national news coverage, even a call from the famous CBS news anchor, Dan Rather, as he and the rest of the world clamored to know more about Bishopville's elusive monster. The case is often mentioned in books, websites, and television shows, but the full story has never been told... until now. This book provides unprecedented documentation for one of the most bizarre and hair-raising cases of an unknown creature. The witnesses are convinced they've seen it, and the local law officials are backing them up. This is their story. Follow Lyle Blackburn, author of the bestselling book "The Beast of Boggy Creek," as he and his partner, Cindy Lee, revisit the sighting locations, speak to the living eyewitnesses, and consider all possible theories in their search for the truth behind the legendary Lizard Man.It's super easy to access our archives!

Your hosts Dr. Dean Bertram and Jason McLean are back in the audio-visual wing of the Mysterious Library. This week they check out the new Small Town Monsters documentary: THE DOGMAN TRIANGLE: WEREWOLVES IN THE LONE STAR STATE, from filmmaker Seth Breedlove. Do real werewolves exist in the lone star state? Dozens of terrified witnesses have recounted seeing something that seems to defy our own understanding of the animal kingdom. Something primordial and horrifying. A massive, upright-walking canid. Now, author, Aaron Deese joins investigator Shannon LeGro for a road trip across the state of Texas in search of pieces to a puzzle that Deese is slowly assembling. A puzzle that seems to point to a bizarre preponderance of sightings taking place between three key points on the map. A puzzle that he has begun calling "the dogman triangle". The search for answers is on, and the stakes are high as Small Town Monsters digs into the most bizarre paranormal mystery of our time. The fascinating and at times creepy documentary features a range of other prominent cryptozoologists and researchers including Lyle Blackburn, Ken Gerhard, and Nick Redfern. Join your Mysterious Librarians as they take a Texas-sized bite into the film in this week's episode.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4602609/advertisement
