The Legend of Goatman’s Bridge
First up, we explore the legend of Goatman’s Bridge, also known as Old Alton Bridge in Texas. Built in 1846 to connect Dallas and Denton, the bridge gained a notorious reputation in the 1930s when the chilling tale of Oscar Washburn, a local goat farmer, began to circulate. According to legend, Washburn was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan, but his body mysteriously vanished, leading to rumors of the supernatural. Visitors to the bridge report ghostly apparitions and eerie sounds, cementing its place as a must-visit for thrill-seekers.
But Oscar’s ghost isn’t the only spirit haunting the bridge. Another well-known tale tells of a young mother eternally searching for her lost child, allegedly abducted by the Goatman. The bridge is even listed on the National Register of Historic Places, ensuring its preservation for future generations of ghost hunters.
The Mysteries of the Montauk Project
The episode then takes us to Montauk, New York, where we unravel the secrets of the Montauk Project—a controversial government program that allegedly took place at Camp Hero. This top-secret project is said to have involved time travel, mind control, and even psychic warfare. Among the most unsettling claims are the stories of the Montauk Boys, young children reportedly experimented on for their psychic abilities.
One of the most bizarre elements of this project is the Montauk Chair, a device said to enhance psychic abilities and allow for time travel. We also explore the Montauk Monster, a mysterious creature that washed ashore in 2008. Some believe it was the result of government experiments, while others think it could be an undiscovered cryptid or even an alien. Despite rational explanations, the Montauk Monster remains a point of fascination.
