The Goatman of West Texas (McLennan County, Central Texas)

This goatman story has a semi-scientific basis.  Scientists bred a half-man, half goat in a lab somewhere in North Texas.  When they could no longer handle the monster, they dumped it in West, Texas where it now lives under a railroad bridge.  Be careful, this goatman attacks passersby.

Another version: This goatman is a satyr-like cryptid which is thought to be a demon from Hell.  It has hoofs and horns and a man’s torso.  It roams the rivers and lakes of McClellan County in search of its favorite prey—children.  Reports date back to the 1920s and are as recent as the 1960s.
