Has The Goatman of Maryland returned? Fresh reports claim mystery beast is tormenting town’s teens
The creepy creature made headlines ever since its first 'sighting' in 1957
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.
