EXPLORING THE MYTH OF THE POPE LICK MONSTER (KENTUCKY GOATMAN)
There is an urban legend surrounding a very old but still used rairoad trestle in Kentucky which involves a mythical half-man, half-goatmonster that lures people onto the 100 foot-high trestle where they are caught in the headlights of a fast-moving train and are left with a run,jump, or die response that usually ends in a quick death.
The story of the non-existent monster, its appeal to youth, and its growing number of victims follows.
Warning: do not chase this legend.
