Help Needed!
Saturday, January 30, 2010 3:52 PM
Dear readers: I’ve been asked to contribute to a book about New Jersey monsters/creatures, and I was asked by the authors if I had any information about the Lake Hopatcong Monster and the Lizard Man of Great Meadows (there’s a lizard man sighting reported in Wayne, NJ too), and I was wondering if any of my fellow New Jerseyans had heard of anything about these cryptids or perhaps had a first- or second-hand account of an encounter or a sighting. Read further if you think you can help. Thanks!

My paternal grandmother was born in a rural area of Sweden in 1891, and when I was a boy she told me stories of the Tomten, small beings that took the appearance of old, bearded men. The Tomten were no more than 3 feet tall and wore pointed hats, which we’ve of course come to associate with gnomes and similar creatures. Grandma insisted they were real. Did she really see these little guys, or was she drinking too much glogg? Read on and find out!
