The Goatman of Maryland is a legendary half-human, half-goat creature that carries an ax.

According to legend, Goatman is an ax-wielding, half-man, half-animal creature that was once a scientist who worked in the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. The tale holds that he was experimenting on goats, the experiment went awry, and he began attacking cars with an ax, roaming the back roads of Beltsville, Maryland. A variation of the legend tells of Goatman as an old hermit who lives in the woods, seen walking alone at night along Fletchertown Road.

The Goatman has been described as being between 6 and 7 feet tall. The first reports of Goatman date to around 1957 but sightings have continued over the years. The Goatman also gets around some with numerous sightings from various places, including Texas, California, Indiana, and Canada. Let’s just say he hoofs it.

In Prince George’s County, Maryland there is a bridge called “Crybaby bridge” and it is told that if you go there in the dead of night you will hear the sounds of a goat braying.

Some people attempt to tie the Goatman to Greek Mythology and as being Pan. Pan in mythology was the god of the wild, a half-human half-goat type of creature, While others tie Goatman to the devil himself. Another interesting fact about Prince George’s County is that it is home to the demon-possessed boy on which the hit movie The Exorcist was based.

The Goatman is not only said to stalk and terrify humans but reports claim Goatman snatches and kill small pets such as dogs and cats. Numerous carcasses have been found over the years and not knowing what really killed these animals, Goatman got the blame.

The Goatman is an interesting legend for many reasons, from ties with the Devil to stalking lovers in parked cars, to killing your family pets. Goatman continues to strike fear in some people and it appears the legend is here to stay. It is also worth noting that having an insane asylum nearby only adds to the terror mystic.

So when driving or visiting Maryland keep your ears sharp for the sound of a braying goat and your eyes peeled for the glimmering of an ax, because you never know when the Goatman will strike next.
