Goatman has been seen in eastern Jefferson County for over 50 years. Almost everyone in Louisville has a Goatman story. He dwells around a large train trestle that has claimed numerous curiosity-seeker lives over the years. The area is now a public park, so you may explore the area except for walking on the trestle, which will get you arrested by the police or killed by Goatman.

Goatman kills people by luring them onto the high railroad trestle, where they fall to their doom. For some reason he's usually portrayed carrying a murderous ax, which is completely unnecessary.
