From Texas to Kentucky, tales of mysterious “goatmen” have haunted the shadows of local lore. In this episode, we dive into the eerie stories of cryptids like the Lake Worth Monster, the Pope Lick Monster, and the Goatman of Old Alton Bridge. Are these chilling figures the product of overactive imaginations, or could there be something more to the legends? We’ll unravel their origins, explore eyewitness accounts, and speculate on what people might actually be encountering in the woods. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and uncover the truth behind these regional legends.
