Old Newspapers: Lake Merritt Monster

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 14th, 2007

I posted on the current news about California’s Lake Merritt Monster, a couple days ago, here.

Now comes some archival newspaper articles, shared by Craig Heinselman.

Following these images of the Lake Merritt Monster from old newspapers are the pdfs from 1946, 1954, and 1958, on this “created cryptid.”

    I believe I see a certain trend in all the Lake Merritt stories.

    Still, at least it poses for nice clear pictures.
