Louis T. Stone

Louis Timothy Stone (October 19, 1875 – March 13, 1933), also known as Louis Stone, was an American journalist who fabricated stories about the flora and fauna surrounding the town of Winsted, Connecticut, thus earning himself the nickname of the "Winsted Liar." The most famous story attributed to him concerned the sighting of a "wild man" in the woods near Winsted. Research by Michael T. Shoemaker and Gary Mangiacopra suggests that Stone was not actually responsible for this story.
