And so it was an absolutely terrifying-
Ken GerhardGUEST
Well, it, it also reminds me of something known as the Goatman.
Art BellHOST
The Goatman.
Ken GerhardGUEST
And the Goatman is a strange creature that's been reported around North America.
Ken GerhardGUEST
It's kind of got a, kinda similar to the, uh, mythological Greek satyr, you know, kind of like a, a human form with the lower half of a goat and kind of a demonic aspect to it.
Art BellHOST
Okay.
JodyHOST
And you can visit it today.
ShayHOST
Oh, well, we go to our festival, our Goatman Festival.
JodyHOST
Well, this is in between California and Arizona, so I doubt they're in the same location for sure.
ShayHOST
Right, but that's close.
ShayHOST
Is Jody still alive? Did she- The mystery deepens ...
ShayHOST
make it back? Did she die in the desert? Did she run into a camel with a rider on the back? The red ghost.
ShayHOST
Or- The red ghost ... or did I run into Goatman? [gasps] Or Mogion.
ShayHOST
Mogion.
Swamp DwellerHOST
I learn later that both of them had seen the monster.
Swamp DwellerHOST
I'm now 17, and based on what I've dug up, I firmly believe what I saw that night was a Goatman.
Swamp DwellerHOST
If anybody has another explanation, please do not hesitate to contact me about this.
speaker_4NARRATOR
This happened a few years ago at my parents' house in a small town in Wayne County.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
And, and these were things that became sort of urban legends in a way that they were always talked about.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
You heard different things about the Goatman growing up or the alien grave.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
And so that was something that kind of floated around but didn't really became, uh, become concrete to me until I talked to people who were involved with the actual research and investigations, like Jim.
Daniel Alan JonesGUEST
So I got together with this group called EPIC, Extraordinary Phenomena Investigations Council, which Jim was a member along with Ken Gerhard, Nick Redfern, and Lyle Blackburn.
Brandon MorganHOST
The surrounding region also developed strange creatures.
Brandon MorganHOST
Across the Potomac and Maryland, stories of the Goatman eventually described a horned part-human creature stalking wooded roads, sometimes carrying an axe.
Brandon MorganHOST
Farther into Appalachia, West Virginia acquired Mothman, while Bigfoot sightings and phantom hitchhikers' haunted road stories circulated through the broader mid-Atlantic.
Brandon MorganHOST
The details differed, but the geography remained remarkably consistent.
9 MINS LATER
Brandon MorganHOST
Northern Virginia was full of such boundaries.
Brandon MorganHOST
Old farms bordered subdivisions, while country roads crossed new highways, and children raised inside carefully planned neighborhoods could reach leftover woods with a bicycle and a little determination.
Brandon MorganHOST
Across the Potomac, Maryland's Goatman occupied remarkably similar terrain, another threatening humanoid creature associated with wooded suburban roads.
Brandon MorganHOST
The monsters were different, but both belonged to the uneasy frontier where post-war America had pushed its houses into older landscapes.
Steve BergHOST
And I know there's, and I know there's, I know for, I mean, I know for a fact, but like, I know according to the lore and the legends that Bigfoot is seen multiple times in the Kettle Moraine area.
Steve BergHOST
There's a Goatman, has been Goatman sightings in the Kettle Moraine area.
Steve BergHOST
And there's obviously, not too far away from there is obviously the, The most famous Dogman sighting I know of is the Beast of Bray Road, right? And, like, that wasn't just, like, one sighting.
Steve BergHOST
That was a thing that was going on.
Lyle BlackburnGUEST
And it was rumors of hoaxes.
Lyle BlackburnGUEST
There was all sorts of manner of craziness and, going on people in there with guns hunting the thing photos taken um but it's so well known that they had this lake worth monster bash every two years out on this uh fort worth nature center which in which basically owns the land where those sightings had taken place and even now Fort Worth City Hall has just put up a display to celebrate the Lake Worth Monster, so it's kind of a big deal here, and it's cool just to preserve that kind of monster history and new, you know, obviously 1969 was a long way away, but you have kids now who are learning about this, like, oh yeah, Goatman, we have a Goatman, so it's cool.
Joe WakefieldHOST
that's really cool man and i definitely hope it's a goat and not just a albino bigfoot i just i like the idea of the horns it's something about monsters with horns i don't know comes from me when i was drawing as a kid gives them that little extra something
Lyle BlackburnGUEST
you
Steve StocktonNARRATOR

In the shadowy woods and lonely back roads of Prince George's County, Maryland stalks one of America's most menacing urban legends, the Goatman.

Others, however, did not.
RobGUEST
You know, the Goatmen almost took over the world once.

We had to go underground for years.

A voice has been telling me about how cool this plan is.

It's going to be Goatmen again.
