Legend of the Pope Lick Monster: Pope Lick Trestle Bridge - Louisville, Kentucky

The railroad trestle is said to be home to the murderous Pope Lick Monster. It's believed that the goat-man has powerful, fur-covered goat legs, an alabaster-skinned face, wide-set eyes, horns protruding from its head, and long greasy hair.
According to different reports, the goat-man either uses hypnosis or a siren voice to lure people onto the train tracks where they are then run down by passing locomotives. In other stories, the human-goat hybrid drops down onto passing cars from the trestles. Yet other legends tell that it attacks its victims with a blood-stained axe and that the very sight of the creature is so unsettling that those who see it while walking across the trestle are driven to jump off. Other legends say that the monster was a circus freak who vowed revenge after being mistreated, and when the train carrying the side-show derailed, all of the occupants were killed except the Pope Lick Monster which links it to the legend of the "Ghost Train".
In the summer of 1987, a young boy fell to his death after trying to evade an oncoming train, and this same fate was met again by a young boy 13 years later. Legend or not, the Pope Lick Monster may have claimed more lives than most myths.
