Pope Lick Monster
A part-man, part-goat creature said to live beneath a railroad trestle over Pope Lick Creek in Louisville, Kentucky, and lure people onto the tracks.
1988 CE · 38.19, -85.49 · status: legend
The account
A 1988 short film made it widely known. The legend has had deadly results: in 1988 a 17-year-old was killed by a train while crossing the trestle.
The sceptical view
The real danger is the active railway bridge, not a monster.
