When a railroad crew in 1911 Kentucky was sent to inspect a trestle bridge over Pope Lick Creek, they expected a routine night. Instead, they encountered the horrifying legend that locals whispered about for decades — a goat-like humanoid said to lure victims onto the tracks. This chilling historical tale reveals what those workers saw on that fog-covered span… and why only some of them returned. Experience a true piece of American folklore brought to life: the Pope Lick Monster — a creature rumored to hypnotize, stalk rail lines, and appear only before tragedy strikes. What happened that night in 1911 has been buried in railway records… until now. ‼️ Subscribe for more historical horror encounters / @intothepaststories 👻 Watch more terrifying encounters here: • Historical Horror Encounters 🎵 Background Music: • The Inner Devil - Creatures of Darkness [D... 🗝️ About Into The Past: Into The Past is a horror storytelling channel that brings forgotten legends and chilling encounters from history back to life.
