31 Days of Monsters - Day 26: The Billiwhack Monster

Teenagers who hang out near Southern California's Camulos Ranch take their lives into their hands. The area is prowled by an ape-like humanoid with ram's horns and long dagger-like claws. Some think it's a genetic experiment gone awry, others a demon from Hell.

31 Days of Monsters: Goatman

 

The Goatman is the kind of monster that haunts Lover's Lanes in a variety of locations across the country. Most stories describe him as being a cross between a goat and a human with goat-like legs and a goat's head. In most accounts he terrorizes people and on occasion attacks unfortunate people with a blood-stained axe.

Stories diverge as to his origin. Some say he used to be a scientist who was turned into a goat by one of his experiments. Others say he was a circus freak who escaped to seek revenge on the gawkers who used to taunt him in the sideshow. Still others say he is a farmer who sold his soul to the devil.
