MARYLAND GOATMAN

The Maryland Goatman is an axe wielding, half man, half goat, hybrid, which is known to roam the back roads of Beltsville, Maryland, with other sightings often reported near Fletchertown Road and Lottsford Road in Prince Georges County. He is probably the best-known and most persistent variation on the goatman story in the United States and tales of him go back to the 1950s. Although this hideous creature may not be as famous as his cryptid cousins Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, he still retains a devoted following, that has inspired horror movies such as “Deadly Detour” and origin stories that could equally be the stuff of movies. He is most famed for frequenting Lovers Lanes, typically terrifying teenagers and damaging their cars with his bloody axe, but also has a reputation for killing family pets and according to one story, the Maryland Goatman was blamed for the brutal murders of 14 hikers in 1962, their bodies chopped to pieces while the goatman emitted “screams that only the devil himself would make.” It would however seem that this particular cryptid is not unique, as he bares striking similarities to the other cryptids “The Pope Lick Monster”, “The Lake Worth Monster”, “The Proctor Valley Monster” and “The Waterford Sheepman”.
