Beneath the rusted rails of Kentucky’s Pope Lick Trestle, myth and modern fear collide. In this episode, we unravel the chilling legend of the Pope Lick Monster—a half-man, half-goat specter said to lure the unwary to their doom with hypnotic tricks and a voice that mimics the living. Is it a product of cautionary storytelling, or something far older, prowling the edges of our imagination? Journey with us into the foggy wilds of American folklore as we trace the origins, whispered sightings, and the dangerous allure of one of North America’s most unnerving monsters.
