Podcasts about Goatman

We're back on the Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip, and tonight we're pulling into Maryland, home of one of the most famous roadside monsters in America. In November of 1971, a family in Old Bowie went searching for a missing puppy named Ginger and found her decapitated near the railroad tracks off Fletchertown Road.Within weeks, a small-town newspaper headline reading "Residents Fear Goatman Lives" had grown into Washington Post coverage of a six-foot hairy creature walking upright through the Prince George's County woods, and the Maryland Goatman was born. In this episode, I trace the legend all the way back to its documented beginnings, from a 1971 college folklore project and the mad-scientist rumors surrounding the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center to the goat herder, the hermit, and the axe-wielding thing said to stalk lovers' lanes and Crybaby Bridge.I walk through the classic encounters the way the county has told them for fifty years, hooves on the blacktop behind a parked car, an axe blade in a door panel, screams over the campsites, and then I put on my old badge and show you what the evidence actually supports. From there the road trip goes deeper into Maryland's monster file, because the witnesses in 1971 never described a goat at all.They described a Bigfoot. We cover the Dwayyo attack outside Gambrill State Park in 1965, the Sykesville Monster flap of 1973 with its thirteen-inch footprint cast and Baltimore Zoo examination, a fisherman's daylight sighting on the Patapsco in 1981, the Harewood Park Monster, the Eastern Shore reports, and the giant that construction crews reported at the Arundel Mills site in 2000. It's a story about dark roads, headlights, bored teenagers, freight trains, and the one small casualty at the bottom of it all, and by the end you'll know exactly where the folklore stops and where the genuine mystery in the Maryland woods begins.Leave Brian A Voicemail Email BrianListen To Disturbing History Podcast Listen To Sasquatch Odyssey Podcast Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Are any of them actually true? We'll explore the more obscure side of folklore with ghosts and legends that don't get the same amount of attention others do – but are certainly not to be ignored! (Myths And Ghosts You May Never Have Heard Of) *** In the quiet town of Essex, Maryland, the disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris shattered the peace of summer 1960. Walking just three blocks to her aunt's house, she vanished without a trace, only for her body to be found days later, hidden beneath a makeshift grave. Decades have passed, but the mystery of who took Alva Jean and why remains unsolved. (Who Killed Alva Jean?) *** He's a little-known serial killer. Ronald J.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 23, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from obscure folklore across four continents to a little-known Louisiana serial killer and a Maryland child murder that has gone unsolved for more than sixty years.It opens with a tour through the ghosts and monsters that rarely make the usual lists: the Dungarvon Whooper, the murdered lumber-camp cook named Ryan whose whoops still echo along New Brunswick's Dungarvon River; the strzyga of Slavic myth, a two-hearted, twin-souled demon that takes the form of a barn owl before it feeds; Lady Koi Koi, the red-heeled teacher whose clicking footsteps haunt boarding schools across Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa; the banshee of North Carolina's Tar River, tied to a flour miller named Dave Warner and the Revolutionary War redcoats who drowned him in 1781; the Headless Nun of Miramichi, the murdered Sister Marie who wanders French Fort Cove asking where her head has gone; the Kludde, a chain-rattling shapeshifting dog from Belgian and Dutch folklore; the Inupasugjuk, the rarely-seen giants of Inuit tradition; the Dearg Due of County Waterford, an abused Irish bride who rose from her grave near the Tree of Strongbow to drain the blood of her father and husband; the Goatman of Old Alton Bridge near Denton, Texas, an 1884 iron truss bridge also tied to the lynching of black goat farmer Oscar Washburn; and the Stratford Knockings of 1850, the poltergeist that draped Reverend Eliakim Phelps's Connecticut mansion in funeral crepe and centered on his eleven-year-old stepson Harry.From there the episode turns to Ronald Joseph Dominique, the Louisiana pizza delivery man dubbed the Bayou Strangler, who raped and strangled twenty-three men between 1997 and 2006 while evading police for nearly a decade. Drawing on Fred Rosen's book The Bayou Strangler, the segment follows the killing of Oliver LeBanks, beaten with a tire iron and dumped beneath a highway overpass near Metairie, and traces Dominique's earlier victims across St. Charles Parish, from nineteen-year-old David Mitchell in July 1997 to twenty-year-old Gary Pierre and thirty-eight-year-old Larry Ranson, most of them gay African American men lured with the promise of paid sex. It introduces Detective Lieutenant Dennis Thornton of the Jefferson Parish sheriff's office, who worked the LeBanks scene and set himself the task of linking the killings that DNA evidence would finally tie to Dominique.The episode closes with the June 10, 1960 disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris, who vanished walking three blocks to her aunt's house from the Riverdale Apartments in Essex, Maryland. Five days later, searchers found her shoes in a marsh and her body in a shallow grave concealed with linoleum, sod, and twigs beside an abandoned farmhouse, her abdomen and pelvis coated in lye. Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. William Lovitt found decomposition too advanced to confirm a cause of death, though strangulation was suspected, and despite polygraph tests, a solid alibi clearing her mother Fredonia, and tips about a man seen in a sailor's hat, no suspect was ever charged in a case that remains open today.

Maryland may be a small state, but it has produced some of the most unusual cryptid, paranormal, and high-strangeness reports in the region.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler examines several compelling Maryland cases, including Patapsco Valley Bigfoot incidents, the Sykesville Monster connection, an active Cecil County horse farm investigation, Dwayyo and upright canine sightings, the Maryland Goatman legend, the Snallygaster, the Patapsco Phoenix, Baltimore's mysterious West Side Phantom, and a touching spirit account from St. Michaels.These reports move from wooded river valleys and mountain roads to rural farms, haunted neighborhoods, and urban streets. Some are rooted in folklore. Others are modern witness accounts. A few are connected to Lon's own investigations and personal experiences.If you have had an unexplained encounter in Maryland involving Bigfoot, Dogman, Goatman, UFOs, strange lights, haunted locations, winged beings, phantom figures, or other high-strangeness phenomena, please contact Phantoms & Monsters.

Author, illustrator, and Biblical paranormal researcher, Jason McLean lives in Waxahachie, Texas with his children and beautiful, long-suffering wife. Beyond his lifelong love of art and comics, Jason's life has been consumed with the study of archaeology, cryptozoology, ufology, and astronomy in order to better understand the Bible, its teachings, and the One behind its creation.Visit Jason's official website here: https://sirupapers.com/That's right Dean's partner on the old Mysterious Library show returns once more to the Untold Radio Network for this special episode, where he addresses the topic "Folklore is not Phenomena".As Jason suggests, "folklore tells us more about the worldview and assumptions of the culture encountering a phenomenon than the anything about the phenomenon itself."Jason and Dean look at this conundrum, in the kind of fun, insightful, and fast-moving conversation which long time viewers/listeners have come to expect from from the duo.

The road trip crosses the Ohio River into Kentucky, and this stop is unlike any other we've made, because this legend has a real body count. On the eastern edge of Louisville, a massive railroad trestle spans Pope Lick Creek, and for roughly eighty years locals have said something lives under it.Half man, half goat, with short horns and a voice that isn't its own. The Pope Lick Monster doesn't chase you. He calls you, mimicking the voices of people you trust, luring trespassers out onto seven hundred and seventy feet of open steel with no walkway, no railing, and no escape when a freight train enters the span.In this episode I dig into the trestle's history and the three competing origin stories, from the escaped circus freak to the goat-sacrificing farmer, and trace the goatman's much older family tree through Maryland, Texas, and all the way back to the goat-legged wild gods of the ancient world. I cover the 1988 short film that put the monster on the national map and the fight it started with the railroad, and I walk carefully through the real, documented deaths on that bridge, including the young woman killed there in 2016 while visiting Louisville for a haunted attraction tour.You'll hear encounter accounts from the Floyds Fork bottoms, including teenagers who heard a voice calling one of them by name, a driver who watched a horned figure stand up on the rail at dusk, and a survivor who says she never decided to walk onto that trestle at all.Then the episode takes a turn most people don't expect, because Kentucky is quietly one of the best Sasquatch states in the country. I cover the famous Spottsville Monster case of 1975, encounter reports from Land Between the Lakes and the Red River Gorge, and a recent sighting from the same watershed as the trestle itself, and I make the case that the oldest layer of the Goatman legend may have started with something much more familiar to this show.I close with my verdict on what the Pope Lick Monster really is, whether it's supernatural, psychological, or the deadliest warning legend in America running in reverse.A serious note before you listen.The Pope Lick trestle is private railroad property and an active freight line, and real people, including teenagers, have died on it.Do not visit the trestle, do not climb the fence, and do not ever walk railroad tracks anywhere. This story works from the safe side of the fence, and that is the only place I want you enjoying it.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Five prisoners are kept awake for fifteen days in a sealed chamber — and what the researchers find when they open the door no longer wants to be set free. A blockbuster film series trails a string of real-life deaths its cast can't explain. On the back roads of Maryland, a half-goat figure waits for teenagers who wander too far. And one ordinary night in El Paso, a couple walks out of their home — dishes still in the sink, cat unfed — and is never seen again.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/russiansleepexperiment/READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3rr9mhjxFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Russian Sleep Experiment *** The Poltergeist Film Curse *** The Goat-Man of Maryland *** The Patterson Family Disappearance *** The Legend of the LeprechaunCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:06.939 = Show Open00:01:55.409 = The Poltergeist Curse00:06:21.074 = The Goatman of Prince George's County00:14:07.417 = The Lore of the Leprechaun ***00:16:55.345 = Vanishing of the Pattersons00:27:39.437 = The Russian Sleep Experiment ***00:43:05.653 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 22, 2018Weird Darkness travels from a cursed Hollywood film set to a Maryland goat-monster, the cobbler-fairies of Irish legend, a vanished El Paso couple, and a blood-soaked Soviet sleep laboratory where the test subjects no longer wanted to be set free.It opens with the deaths that shadow the Poltergeist films, beginning with Heather O'Rourke, who played Carol Anne Freeling from the original 1982 release through both sequels and died at twelve in San Diego in February 1986 during surgery for a bowel obstruction later traced to a congenital intestinal flaw. Dominique Dunne, who played older sister Dana Freeling, was strangled in 1982 by John Sweeney outside her Hollywood home, and Sweeney served just three years and seven months. Julian Beck, the gaunt preacher Kane of Poltergeist II, died of stomach cancer in 1983, and Will Sampson, who played the shaman Taylor, died after a heart-lung transplant — four deaths that fed a curse legend later thickened by JoBeth Williams' claim that Steven Spielberg used real human skeletons as cheaper props and by Sampson's own ritual cleansing of the set.From there the episode crosses into Prince George's County, Maryland, where the Goatman has stalked local legend for decades. One origin story sets him at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a half-man, half-goat creature born from a USDA experiment gone wrong; another makes him a herdsman driven mad after teenagers slaughtered his flock. University of Maryland folklorist Barry Pearson traces his heyday to the 1970s and the 1971 decapitation of a puppy named Ginger in Bowie, an incident the Washington Post covered and locals pinned on the creature haunting Fletchertown and Lottsford roads, while Beltsville spokesperson Kim Kaplan dryly wonders whether a goatman that old would be collecting Social Security by now.Next the show turns to Irish folklore and the leprechaun, the solitary fairy whose name traces to a Gaelic root for a small body or a shoemaker. Standing two to three feet tall in a green or red coat and buckled shoes, he works as a fairy cobbler who stitches only a single shoe and never a pair, guards a hidden pot of gold, and trades three wishes for his freedom when a human manages to catch him. He lives in cave networks reached through rabbit holes and the hollow trunks of fairy trees, and damaging one of those trees is said to draw a lifetime of bad luck.From the green hills of Ireland the episode moves to El Paso, Texas, where William and Margaret Patterson left their home at 3000 Piedmont Drive on March 5, 1957 and were never seen again, dinner dishes still in the sink and their cat Tommy left without food. The owners of Patterson Photo Supply vanished without packing a suitcase, their associate Doyle Kirkland turned up driving William's Cadillac with a thin story about a vacation, and a telegram from Dallas signed with the wrong middle initial named Kirkland as William's replacement at the store. Decades on, caretaker Reinaldo Nangre claimed he had cleaned blood from the garage and found a piece of scalp on the boat propeller before dying in a car crash, and Sheriff Leo Samaniego floated the theory that the couple were Soviet spies photographing Fort Bliss, leaving a disappearance that was declared a death in 1964 and has never been solved.The episode closes in the late 1940s, when Soviet researchers sealed five political prisoners in a chamber and kept them awake for fifteen days with an experimental gas-based stimulant, promising freedom in exchange for thirty sleepless days. Paranoia set in after five days, screaming after nine, and when the chamber was opened on the fifteenth the soldiers found four men still alive amid their own torn-out organs, having eaten their own flesh and blocked the floor drain with it, fighting any attempt to remove them and begging for the gas rather than sleep. One subject, pinned for surgery without anesthetic, wrote only the words "keep cutting," and as the last of them was shot through the heart he claimed to be the madness that lurks in every sleeping mind, choking out that he was so nearly free.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Tucked into the woods of North Texas, Old Alton Bridge has become something far more than a crossing—it's a place surrounded by stories that refuse to settle.Known to many as Goatman's Bridge, the site has long been tied to accounts of violence, loss, and something darker that may have followed. Over time, those stories have grown—shifting between local history, whispered warnings, and encounters people struggle to explain.Visitors have reported shadowy figures in the trees, an overwhelming sense of being watched, and moments that feel far from imagined.

Between the Texas towns of Denton and Copper Canyon lies Goatman's Bridge, a haunted relic steeped in sinister legends of lynching, black magic, and a red-eyed demon said to terrorize all who dare to cross.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it that a brutal lynching and a series of Satanic rituals transformed Goatman's Bridge in rural Texas into a paranormal hotspot. (The Haunting of Goatman's Bridge) *** Over six decades later, the brutal, unsolved murders at Lake Bodom continues to haunt Finland... and beyond. (The Lake Bodom Murders) *** A man finds his neighbor laying in the snow, frozen solid – yet somehow she survives. I'll tell you the miraculous story of Jean Hilliard! (The Hibernating Woman) *** We like to think that 21st Century medicine has brought us more into science and further away from superstition and magic – and that's mostly true, for the Western World. But in South Africa they've not given up the chanting, the dancing, and in some cases… the sacrificing of human lives… all in the name of healing. (Muti Medicine: Ritual Human Sacrifice) *** For anyone who has used a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, it's probably happened to you at least once. You're waiting on your ride to pick you up, you see a car coming your way and you think it's there for you – only to find out a few seconds later that it's not. One college girl had this same experience – only she got in to that wrong vehicle, and ended up being murdered for her mistake. (An Uber Mistake) *** The history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is wrapped up in Chicago's wealthiest families having their summer homes there.

Date: March 31, 2026 Episode: 122 Discussion: The WitchCraft Doll Circle in the Desert About Don Don Yazzie grew up in the Navajo Nation. He has always been curious about the supernatural, paranormal, and unexplained mysteries. Don has been a Bigfoot tracker for the past eight years and has worked with Jevning Research for three years alongside William Jevning. He is an experiencer of various events that would be considered high strangeness, including encounters with Yei'iitsoh (Sasquatch), the Goatman, and the Dogman, as well as multiple Skinwalker sightings. He has also witnessed a UFO and an extraterrestrial abduction. As a reservation investigator, his reports of a Lizard Man, Little People, and a Centaur would be deemed outrageous to most.

On the backroads of Prince George's County, Maryland, a legend took shape in the shadows between farmland and suburbia. Witnesses described a towering half-man, half-goat figure stalking lonely roads, screaming in the dark, and carrying an axe into the woods. Whether born from Cold War paranoia, local tragedy, or something older hiding just beyond the tree line, the Goatman remains one of Maryland's most enduring monsters.

Friday the 13th. The mere mention of it conjures feelings of unease, fears of bad luck, and elicits superstitious behavior. Walking under ladders, black cats crossing one's path, broken mirrors - all things to be avoided, especially on this date. And of course, Jason Voorhees chasing teenagers through summer camp. But is it all just superstition and folklore? Or is the day itself powerful with the paranormal? This week, I'm looking at people's personal creepy experiences that happened on Friday the Thirteenth. Ghostly laughter in the woods on a camping trip, a small cryptid reminiscent of the Goatman in a boy's backyard, UFOs hovering over two brother playing soccer, and a chapel that the internet points people to that doesn't actually exist. All these spooky stories and more! Have you ever had a spooky Friday the 13th experience?

This week I'm taking Sheba for another walk after having found a new therapist to work with. The initial meeting was good and they recommended to me that I undergo EMDR therapy; this will hopefully help me deal with past traumatic experiences in a constructive way and allow me to be more resilient when I come across new ones going forward. I also revisit some past fun memories! We got in a good 5ish miles today and I'm glad I was able to capture one of the more positive days that I've had so far this year!

In the wooded outskirts of Maryland, beneath an old railway bridge in Prince George's County, locals have long warned of a figure that should not exist.In this chapter, we examine the urban legend of the ‘Goatman', a creature said to haunt Lovers' Lane bridges and rural roads, swinging an axe at those who dare to enter its territory. Join us as we explore where the Goatman stories began and just how they spread through modern folklore.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com For more information on the show, to find all our social accounts and to ensure you are up to date on all we do, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lukemordue.com/podcast

Three teenagers. A remote island in Middle Tennessee. A Wednesday morning in the summer of '97. Brothers Heath and Hayes Holland and their friend Seth were doing what they always did, exploring Hole in the Wall Island on Percy Priest Lake, when they came face to face with something that defied explanation. Standing by a massive tree was an eight-foot creature with dark fur, horns, a wolf-like snout, snarling teeth, and glowing red eyes. It wasn't a Bigfoot. It wasn't quite a Goatman. And it was staring right at them.The Holland brothers join us live in studio with a story they've carried for nearly three decades. Hayes followed the creature through the brush for fifteen minutes while Heath ran for his life, and their dad wrote the whole thing off until locals started reporting similar sightings at the nearby boat dock. What was it? A cryptid? A demon? Something that doesn't have a name yet? Growing up in a conservative Southern church didn't prepare them for what they saw, but it might just be the lens that makes the most sense of it. Welcome to the horned creature of Antioch.

Joe joins Tony to share a harrowing series of encounters that began in rural Wisconsin and never truly stopped. What started as a shocking sighting of two Bigfoot alongside a horned Goatman quickly escalated into daylight stalking, missing time, physical evidence, and a UFO that appeared to cloak and glitch out of reality just as Joe returned to investigate. From being surrounded in the woods by multiple entities to experiencing activity that followed him home, Joe describes a life overtaken by relentless paranormal and demonic phenomena. As the encounters intensify, patterns began to emerge, portals forming around him, friends witnessing the same activity, and entities reacting to green lasers and emotional states. Once a hardcore atheist, Joe now believes these experiences reveal a single, darker intelligence behind cryptids, UFOs, and spiritual oppression. This episode is a raw descent into sustained high strangeness, fear, and the cost of seeing something you were never meant to see. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Throughout history, Krampus has been seen as the dark and sinister counterpart to old Saint Nicholas. This horned, hoofed, half-human, half-goat creature is known for taking charge of the naughty list and punishing those that don't behave. But is Krampus one of a kind? For years, legends of a similar Goatman have popped up all over the world, from South America to New Zealand, leading many to wonder—does this Christmas legend have roots in the supernatural… And might he exist after all? For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/revisiting-krampus So Supernatural is an Audiochuck and Crime House production.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Nestled deep in the woods between Denton and Copper Canyon, Texas, lies an unassuming wooden structure with a chilling past—Goatman's Bridge. Known officially as the Old Alton Bridge, this seemingly simple crossing is anything but ordinary. Steeped in tales of demonic entities, violent history, and occult rituals, it's become one of the most infamous haunted sites in the South. Some say the spirit of a lynched Black goat farmer seeks justice from beyond the grave. Others claim satanic worshipers opened a portal to something far darker—summoning the legendary half-man, half-goat beast said to stalk the surrounding woods with glowing red eyes. From shadowy figures to documented physical attacks, countless witnesses have come forward with bone-chilling accounts of what lingers near the bridge. In this episode, we explore the dark legend of Goatman's Bridge—where folklore, fear, and the unexplained collide in the heart of Texas. Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation with author Becky Vickers about her book, The Secrets of Goatman's Bridge: True Tales of Chilling Paranormal Encounters at One of the Most Haunted Bridges in America.

This week's Encounters dives into the dark, strange, and often terrifying world of urban legends that turn out to be a little too real. La Llorona, BEK, Goat Man, The Devil's Tree and Slender Man?! Are these just haunting tales passed around the campfire? What happens if they turn out to be real?! These listener stories might just prove that they are.  We're getting into: A nighttime visit to Red Ash Cemetery turns terrifying when a ghostly woman on all fours transforms into something... not quite human. A grandmother in Nepal encounters a black eyed kid — and nearly loses her life. A cursed tree with ties to a real serial killer might be responsible for a listener's heartbreaking paranormal loss. A game of midnight hide-and-seek with Slender Man that reveals a ghost girl phasing through a fence. A listener sees their mother at their bedroom door… except she never got out of bed that night. Whether you're chasing cryptid legends, playing paranormal games at 3 a.m., urban legends sometimes have roots in something very real — and very haunted.  Movie mentioned: Force Majeure Watch the video version here.

On this episode, we dig into a chilling account of four teenage friends who thought they were playing a harmless game—summoning a thunder demon in a suburban garage. What began as late-night skepticism and laughter quickly spiraled into something terrifyingly real. One friend fainted. Another lost time. And what they all saw when they returned to blow out the ritual candle will haunt them forever.  They believed it would be nothing.  But what they encountered wasn't just a psychological trick or an overactive imagination. It was something ancient, something hungry, and possibly something demonic. Join us as we trace the events of that night, the warning signs they missed, and the horrifying image burned into their memory—the pale man with the goat's head.

The Appalachian Mountains are filled with ancient mysteries—and Reddit has the receipts. In this episode, we dig into real-life paranormal encounters pulled straight from Reddit, all centered around the eerie energy of the Appalachian region. From chilling alien abduction stories to cryptid sightings and hauntingly nasty neighbors, this episode is packed with tales that prove the woods are watching... and maybe something else is too. In this episode: A missing-time, possible alien abduction near the CIA-linked Monroe Institute A terrifying encounter with the Goatman deep in the Kentucky foothills A machete-wielding stranger encounter on a remote trail... because sometimes humans are scarier than the paranormal The strange metallic taste that signals something otherworldly is near (and why you should run) And a SURPRISE “Am I the Asshole?” story involving a haunted house and a husband who definitely should have told his wife In the mountains, not every voice calling your name is friendly, even when it's the voice of a friend… Watch the video version here.
