- Louisville, Kentucky - Pope Lick Monster AKA Goatman
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.
[AW Montgomery, 03/27/2023]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.

- Directions:
- East edge of the city. I-265 exit 23. Drive east on Taylorsville Rd one mile. Turn left onto S. Pope Lick Rd to drive under the death trestle; turn right to park, then follow the walking trail to the trestle.
