In the US state, the Goatman, the goat man, a mixture of man and goat, has been a popular legend since 1957, which is told again and again.Nobody can say with absolute certainty whether the hybrid being actually exists or is just a mythical being.The Goatman is said to be responsible for the deaths of various pets, two adults and twelve children, and is also said to have partially eaten its human victims.
The mysterious Goatman was first sighted by eyewitnesses in Prince George’s County, Maryland, in 1957. His habitat is said to be a cave around Bowie town, but other sources say his hiding place is near an old rusty bridge in Louisville or around Davidson. Five years after the first sightings, the goat man is said to have killed two adults and twelve children who set up a camp near his Bowie cave. The monster has partially eaten the adults and children and its regular victims are said to be pets.
According to stories, the Goatman is the result of a failed experiment by the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville. According to legend, the goat man was created when one of the researchers crossed human DNA with goat DNA. The hybrid creature had fled from the research laboratory into the nearby forests, armed with the ax of a farmer. The monster has been seen not only in Maryland, but also in Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, California, Arkansas, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Texas and even Canada.
Sightings in 2016
The TV station WBAL-TV from Baltimore (Maryland) reported in April 2016 on new sighting of the goat man. In April, the Goatman ambushed some teenagers who wanted to cross a street. The monster was photographed by a resident. The photo shows an approximately two meter tall creature of strong stature, with black thick fur and goat horns.
The renewed sightings of the Goatman and its alleged connection to the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center prompted the spokeswoman for the research facility to dispel the legend. According to her, the stories are stupid and not a funny invention. Such experiments were not carried out at the facility, even if the website of the facility reported research on goats, cows, poultry and other farm animals. If you enter the word goat, 9,600 results will be listed.
Woman dies researching Goatman
When the young 26-year-old Roquel Bain was on an adventure trip in Maryland with her boyfriend, the couple heard about the history of the Goatman and decided to pursue the stories. The couple went to the rusty bridge at Louisville and crossed it, but a train came towards them and Roquel fell fatally to the ground. According to the official statement, Roquel tried to avoid the train, fell 30 meters and died from her injuries. Her friend got away with the terror and remained unscathed. For 30 years dozens of people have died who have entered the rusty bridge despite the prohibition signs. When a train arrives, you can’t escape in time, Denise Harris told Wave News.
Also in April, the birth of a goat with human-like facial features caused a sensation in Malaysia. The animal died shortly after its birth and was brought to the veterinary office by the farmer Ibrahim Basir. According to him, the goat was atypically born without an umbilical cord, and the young animal looked like a human baby. According to speculation, a genetic defect may have been responsible for this strange phenomenon.
According to current knowledge, the Goatman is nothing more than an “urban legend”, a mythical creature that doesn’t really exist. Although pictures were taken, their authenticity would have to be checked. A review could help uncover the truth about this mysterious creature.Until then, we can only speculate.
