URBAN LEGEND

Several Urban Legend s exist about the creature, including that it is a human goat hybrid, and that it was a Circus Freak who vowed revenge after being mistreated. In one version, the creature was created from the remains of humans and animals after a cattle train, bound for the stock yards in Louisville, derailed on the trestle.

The legends have turned the area into a site for Legend Tripping . There have been a number of deaths and accidents at the trestle since its construction, despite the presence of an 8 foot (2.4 m) fence to keep thrill-seekers out.


MEDIA

The monster was the subject of a 1988 film by Ron Schildknecht called '' The Legend Of The Pope Lick Monster ''.
