EP 14: The Pope Lick Monster and Other Goatman Legends
Louisville Kentucky is the home of a legendary creature, a creature that has come to be known as the Pope Lick Monster. This creature is part man, part goat, and is rumored to lurke on the train trestles over Pope Lick Creek. One of the things that makes this frightening cryptid so unique is its kill count. There have been at least 12 deaths upon the tressels since 1968, all attributed to creatures' supernatural abilities to lure people onto the tracks. While this is the most popular Goatman legend it is not even close to being the only one. In this episode we will discuss the myths, legends, and folklore associated with The Goatman.

First, this entity spoke plainly and in English, second, it affected an entire community of hundreds of individuals, and finally, it actually murdered or claimed to have murdered John Bell.
