Has The Goatman of Maryland returned? Fresh reports claim mystery beast is tormenting town’s teens

A mysterious goat-like figure has been haunting an American town and watching teens make out, according to a local news agency.

The Goatman of Maryland is the subject of an ancient urban legend, with the story stating that the seven-foot-tall creature stalks the nearby woods and delights in scaring local teens.

Legend has it that the Goatman was once a normal human, who was mutated by a scientific experiment at a nearby agricultural research centre.

The mutation supposedly created a towering human-goat hybrid who fled the facility, going into hiding in the forest armed with a stolen farmer’s axe.

And whilst that may seem far-fetched, many residents have reported sightings of the Goatman – and they claim they aren’t kidding when they say he’s very real.

The frightening figure has apparently been spotted recently, with local Baltimore station WBAL-TV receiving multiple reports that the farmyard fiend is still lurking in the area.

Earlier this month, the station received two tips from residents in a town called Laurel claiming to have spotted the legendary Goatman.

Apparently, the axe-wielding figure has been spotted lurking by the side of the road waiting for teenagers to pass.

The Goatman, who was supposedly snapped by a concerned resident, is said to prey on teenagers who park on the roadside to get more acquianted with each other, which was where he was most recently spotted.

The Goatman has been the source of intense speculation ever since the first ‘sighting’ in 1957.

The creature is also said to have murdered a number of hikers in 1962, with some people claiming that it is the physical manifestation of the devil.

The creature died short after its birth, sending social media users into a frenzy as they tried to offer explanations for the strange defect.
