Scared me to death when I was a kid in the 1960’s. Mr. Moffett hung one up on a tree by our bus stop that was along the Nueces River.

Never saw or heard a thing. I do have to admit though. There was a lot of times i would get these very eerie feelings in the houses i lived in on that lake. Like something was there. I believe there is something to the tales of the lake. Who knows what it is though? The stories are so old and most like exaggerated every time they are told again. Who knows what the truth is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245452051500967544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-78655910262825935082013-10-17T23:26:35.766-05:002013-10-17T23:26:35.766-05:00I live in carrizo springs ive fished at the espant...I live in carrizo springs ive fished at the espantosa lake all my life sometimes stay there fishing from 10pm till 6am never seen a thing the only thing there is hogs and racoons skunks nothing out of the ordinaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245945620767636862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-37491541269650442932013-06-26T16:38:21.419-05:002013-06-26T16:38:21.419-05:00Caroline--well, if that isn't the wildest tale...Caroline--well, if that isn't the wildest tale I've ever heard. Not in my lifetime of living in Texas have I heard that story. I see the author was connected with a university, and he obviously did a good job of collecting all the stories and putting them into a book.<br />Isn't it odd how these stories begin, and who in the world knows the truth.<br />The screams of a panther or wildcat reportedly does sound like a woman.<br />The wolf story--I'm like you, Caroline--no wolf stories for me, and no werewolves, either. I am too much of a scaredy cat.<br />Also, I've always read that Texas only has one natural lake, the one in NE Texas, Caddo Lake.<br />What stories an author could make out of some of these tales.<br />Thanks for an intriguing post--and be assured, I always watch out for alligators and wolves. So far, I've never seen either, but that doesn't mean they're not out there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-28669468605863595182013-06-26T13:09:47.837-05:002013-06-26T13:09:47.837-05:00Oh my, that had me enthralled.
