After I finished Bigfoot, I decided to go ahead and finish the entire Cryptid Stitch-along out and ended with the Popelick Goatman!
The Popelick Goatman is one I had never heard of. Then I got this stitch-along and saw him on there. I watched a show called Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal and they had an episode about him. I thought it was really interesting.
There is a railroad trestle over Pope Lick Creek outside of Louisville, Kentucky. The Goatman is said to live there. There are accounts of him luring people there to fall to their deaths from the trestle. Some accounts say he jumps from the top of the trestle onto the hood of cars passing over the trestle. And some accounts say he chases people and they jump to their deaths. He is supposedly part man, part goat and part sheep.
Whatever he is, this depiction is awfully cute. I'm sure he's much more fearsome in real life... I wouldn't want to find out.
