Louis T. Stone
Louis Timothy Stone (1875 – 13 March 1933), also known as Lou Stone, was an American journalist who fabricated stories about the flora and fauna surrounding his town of Winsted, Connecticut, thus earning himself the name of the Winsted Liar. The most notorious story attributed to him concerned the sighting of a 'wild man' in the woods near 'Winsted', although research by Michael T. Shoemaker and Gary Mangiacopra suggests that Stone was not actually responsible for this story.〔Chad Arment, ''The Historical Bigfoot'', p. 111f.〕
==Biography==
Stone was born in 1875 in Winsted, Connecticut, where he spent his whole life. At the age of thirteen, he began working as a printer's devil at the ''Winsted Evening Citizen'', later becoming a reporter for the same newspaper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/archive/permalink/lou_stone_the_winsted_liar/ )〕
In 1895, Stone fabricated what became his most famous story, when he claimed that there had been sightings of a 'wild man' in the woods near Winsted. Stone then continued to create weekly reports, mostly about unusual flora and fauna around Winsted, which were reprinted in many newspapers. In tribute to his work, a billboard in Winsted announced:
He died on 13 March 1933, and the residents of Winsted named a bridge in honor of him.〔
