Modern
Farmer is celebrating Goat Week, their response to the success of
Discovery Channel's Shark Week. The centerpiece of Goat Week is the
GoatCam, through which you can monitor real goats in real time. And, most likely in a tribute to the fake documentary
Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives, Goat Week takes a look at the legendary Goatman of Prince Georges County, Maryland.
When
scared teenagers whisper about Goatman, not all agree on the form he
takes. Some say he was a man who kept goats and went mad after teenagers
killed his flock, driven to seek revenge against any youngster. But
perhaps the most titillating version traces the origin of Goatman to the
Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a sprawling USDA facility
anchored by a big brick building appointed with white columns. In this
version, a mad scientist is conducting experiments on a goat when
something goes horribly wrong, turning him into a half man-half goat
beast that is, naturally, hungry for blood.
Read the history of the Goatman tales and how this local legend became known throughout the nation, if not the world.
