The Goatman… It sounds crazy… I know.

But what is the real story behind this dark entity that many claim to see in all areas of the United States?

On today’s show we talk with author J. Nathan Couch about all things “Goatman” and his new book Goatman: Flesh or Folklore.

Here’s a snipped of what J. Nathan has to say about “The Goatman”:

It’s said that all across the United States, a monster lurks in the darkness. But unlike the fearsome beasts of long ago, it doesn’t prowl near a secluded crossroads nor does it lurk in the vast wilderness that once shrouded America’s landscape. This monster lurks on the boundaries of suburban America. It lives under our bridges, along our highways, in our parks, and in abandoned buildings mere miles from our schools—from our homes.

Huge, malodorous, and homicidal, it has many names. In Kentucky they call it the Pope Lick Monster. In Texas it’s known as the Lake Worth Monster or Old Foamy. West Virginians calls it the Sheepsquatch, meanwhile over in Pennsylvania it’s been dubbed the Sheepman. In spite of a plethora of local monikers, most people refer to the creature by a common name—Goatman.
