Recent witness says Bear Lake monster 'is still alive and lurking' :Salt Lake Tribune

In its long and venerable life, the Deseret Evening News occasionally got things right. It was definitely correct when, in 1881, it revealed that eyewitnesses were willing to prove "the Bear Lake monster is a living, veritable fact."
As devoted readers know, History Matters has "taken some pains to glean from every authentic source, such facts as would enable us to present to our readers in a clear and comprehensive form, the sum total of what is known of the monsterial majesty," as the Bear Lake Democrat put it so eloquently.
Thanks to overwhelming documentation found by Ardis Parshall, our state's finest historical sleuth, thinking Utahns now know that the monster is no myth.
