Goatman's Bridge: A Suicide Hotspot - with Author Becky Vickers | Clips
*Taken from episode 20.
Becky Vickers is the author of the book The Secrets of Goatman's Bridge. We discuss the high amount of suicides that have happened at the bridge and more!
While some bridges are inhabited by pesky creatures such trolls, the Old Alton Bridge harbors a monster of a much darker nature. The ominously named Goatman has been described by witnesses as a truly frightening sight plucked straight from a nightmare or the yellowed pages of a book of folktales. According to their reports, the Goatman stands eight feet tall, with the chest and arms of a man, the hindquarters and hooved feet of a goat, and a frightening goat’s head complete with huge curled horns and glowing eyes. Some reports describe the Goatman’s fur as a deep, fiery red, while others describe his coloring as black as night, so black you can hardly see him as he moves through the edges of the trees.
Whenever a sighting of this ghastly figure occurs, a string of mysterious disappearances is sure to follow. Some believe the Goatman remains dormant for years at a time and awakes only to hunt for prey. Other legends circulating about the demon focus on his name.
According to legend, those who dare speak the Goatman’s name while crossing his bridge unwittingly summon his spirit. While the Goatman is said to sleep beneath the Old Alton during the day, he habitually creeps out from under it to hunt for food at night, returning only at the sound of his name. If his name is uttered during the day, he is awakened and is often even more vicious due to the disruption of his sleep cycle, or so the story goes.
Legend further holds that the Goatman’s Bridge provides a gateway into Hell. Visitors crossing the bridge at exactly three a.m. have reported horrific visions of fire and brimstone; those fortunate enough to return, that is.
