A Lone Star State Goat Man
Posted by: Nick Redfern on June 18th, 2013
“The Old Alton Bridge is situated in the Texas town of Denton. It is roughly about an hour’s drive from where I live and has a very strange and monstrous legend attached to it. It concerns nothing less than a terror-inducing Goat Man, of the very type that have been reported from a whole variety of other locations across the United States for many a year. Probably the most infamous of all the Goat Men is that which allegedly surfaced in and around the town of Lake Worth, Texas back in the summer months of 1969. But, what of its nearby cousin of the supernatural kind in Denton?”
The words above are taken from my new Mysterious Universe article, which you can find right here…

I wish someone would look further into the stories about the Goat-Man of Emhouse, Texas, as well.
Look further into the Goat Man? Really? The Goat Man is half myth, half hoax. It is not a hidden animal, as in Cryptozoology, it does not belong along with Sasquatch, Yeti, Nessie and others. It is merely Folklore and belongs alongside Chupacabras, Devil Monkeys, Spring-Heeled Jack, Black-eyed children, Shadow People, Nephilim, Mermaids, Dragons, The Beast of Bray Road, etc.
