There are so many variations on the story of the Prince George’s County Goatman that it is nearly impossible to keep them straight. For some, he is but a lonely, angry goat herder who went berserk after finding his beloved goats dead due to teens’ tampering. To others, he is in the same family as Bigfoot—a mythical beast that roams the Earth. In perhaps the most bizarre tale of them all, the Goatman is the result of a ghastly experiment at theBeltsville Research Agricultural Center. The USDA facility has actually been forced to deny that one.
The Goatman terrorizes lovers, chases teens and decapitates dogs. He yells, squeals and, yes, makes goat noises. He’s made reported appearances all across the region. He has inspired fear and fascination for decades, but according to historian, author and Mark Opsasnick, the foremost expert on the Maryland legend, there is a canonical Goatman origin story. And it begins on Fletchertown Road in Bowie.
