The Lore
Maryland's Goatman is said to be a former government scientist mutated by an experiment gone wrong. This axe-wielding, horned humanoid with goat legs has been reported along Fletchertown Road since the 1950s. Sightings often involve screams in the woods, mutilated pets, and a figure that vanishes when approached. Similar goatman legends exist across the United States.
