On the bridge where there lives a monster Man-Goat, people continue to die

Overpass on highway Pope Lick Road in Fisherville, a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky for several decades, is connected with the mysterious monster that most often they call a Man-Goat (Goatman).

To avoid confusion with another hero of local legend — a Man-Goat from Maryland, a monster of Kentucky name is a full name of "Man-goat with the Face of Pope road".

Maryland monster roams in the area of Beltsville and attacks with an axe at passing cars, and monster of Fisherville lives on the bridge (or under the bridge) on the overpass and according to the legend, he lures on the bridge random travelers who find themselves near this place. To lure he uses hypnosis or mimics the voice of a man to call me. And when people are on the bridge, they soon die, shot to death by a train.

The fact that it is often a passing train occupies almost the entire width of the bridge and the man who was in the middle of the bridge, to the moment when he saw the train, nowhere to hide. He will not have time to run to the edge of the bridge and jump down to my death as there is very high and the river narrow and shallow.

According to one urban legend, the mysterious creature is a random hybrid of a goat and the man who was thrown from a bridge to kill, but he survived and began to hate people.

And according to other legends is captured in the canadian woods monster, which in 1800-ies sold to a traveling circus, and badly with it were converted. One day it escaped from there and settled in these places. Angry at people, it is the beginning of his revenge, luring people onto the bridge to be hit by a train.

Legends are legends, but this the viaduct regularly mislead people, despite the fact that local residents are constantly issued warnings.

"Get off this road, this road is very dangerous. The train passes it without a horn and you'll have nowhere to go if you are in this moment on the overpass. When you hear and see the train, for you it will be too late," says Sean Dreisbach, head of the local fire service, which is also responsible for the safety on railway tracks.

"I want people to understand that this is only a stupid legend, but the train is real and it can kill you if you go there."

In addition to the warnings, all the approaches from the ground to the bridge is blocked by a 2.5 meter high wire fence, but teenagers still somehow get on the bridge. Some people think that overpass was abandoned, but this is misleading, as it 15-25 times a day are freight trains.

A retired railroad employee said that during his work here was 43 hitting people with injuries or deaths. And in recent years has been more deaths due to lovers of urban legends.

In 2000, there was lost 19-the summer guy, in 2016, 26-year-old resident of Ohio came here specifically in search of the Man-Goat and also killed due to hitting the train.

A few days ago, may 26, 2019, on the bridge out of curiosity, or something else (the reason for media not listed) climbed two 15-year-old schoolgirl. One of them named Savannah bright was hit by a train death, and her friend Kaylee miraculously survived, but was injured and is now in hospital.
