GoatMan Hollow 2008 . . . L E G E N D . . . The Return Home.
For many decades people have told stories of an urban legend called: The GoatMan of Prince George’s County Maryland. These stories primarily tell of a vicious creature that roams the woods savagely killing animals and humans alike. Incidents of beheaded dogs, slaughtered goats, damaged vehicles, missing persons and the brutal murders of people over the years have been reported to be the work of the menacing monster. Many locals remember as a teenager, venturing out into the woods with their friends and even searching for this creature as sort of a Friday or Saturday night ritual. Popular areas for sighting the GoatMan spread all across the county. According to reports and newspaper articles written, some sightings are said to have happened at places such as: Zugg Road, Fletchertown Road, Lottsford Road, Crybaby Bridge on Governor’s Bridge Road and Glenndale Hospital just to name a few. No one knows for sure just where this creature came from. Most times...the legend is told with the mentioning of an undocumented doctor from the United States Department of Agriculture Laboratory’s and is usually one of the first things given as an explanation for the GoatMan’s existence. It is said that this rogue doctor worked out of a private offsite facility located somewhere with in the immediate area of the U.S.D.A. campus.
Even though Cryptozoology (Research and Discovery of Unknown Animals of Unknown Origin) was not termed until the mid 1950’s…it is speculated that the U.S.D.A. was researching Cryptozoology well into the early 1900’s and possibly the mid to late 1800’s. Rumors surfaced about this doctor who while working for the U.S.D.A. discovered a revolutionary scientific procedure referred to today as genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technology also known as gene splicing. Soon after his discovery…his wife grew fatally ill of a rare disorder, which placed her in a coma like state. It is believed that he moved his sick wife into the secret genetic research facility so he could focus directly on curing her of her rare condition by the use of his gene splicing discoveries. This is where the legend takes a dark and horrible turn. One night while working on one of his gene splicing experiments hoping to find a cure for his wife…the doctor made a fatal error that turned his assistant into what we have come to know as The GoatMan...OR...was it an error at all?
Over the last 6 years…the number of GoatMan sightings has increased to a record number. Some claim to have been approached or even chased by this creature of unknown origin. The one thing that appears to be different about this new rash of sightings…is that most claiming to have seen The GoatMan also tell of their encounter with a sinister man by the name of Dr. Fletcher and how they barely escaped with their lives. It is not clear exactly how many victims have fallen prey to this urban legend…but it is estimated to be in the thousands…even still…thousands more escape telling the same story as the ones before them.
In 2007 it was learned that the Professor’s Victoria and Calvert Heights were successful in an experiment designed to materialize Dr. Fletcher in flesh and blood to the present time. What began as a means to reveal to the world that the Legend of The GoatMan was really true and the government had been hiding it for many decades…quickly turned into a selfish venture to make money off the general public who were looking for the GoatMan while deceiving them as to the professor’s true intent. While working for the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Maryland in College Park…the Professors Heights discovered the plans to Dr. Fletcher’s Transformation Chamber and his research into Cryptozoology. Disgusted with the deception from the government they opened a secret laboratory dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the GoatMan Legend and the existence of the doctor responsible…Dr. Stephan Fletcher. In the process of rebuilding the machine for themselves…the Professors somehow ended up with a completely different machine than what Dr. Fletcher had built many decades before. The machine they built could actually take the DNA structure of a person and redesign it to resemble that of a long lost ancestor. This machine gave them the ability to take anyone and reproduce that person’s ancestor. But the machine had one major flaw. The Professors were limited when it came to determining the origin of the ancestor for each person. Many of the experiments produced ancestral concoctions or hybrids of human and animal structure. This flaw in the machine is what led to creation and opening of the Professors Cryptid Museum. They then used this Museum as a means to invite the public in to view the Cryptids…while at the same time they tested each person that walked thru the doors of their labs…searching for a descendant of Dr. Fletcher. Soon after the labs were opened as a faux museum…the Professors discovered a Fletcher descendant working against them amongst their own staff. Upon discovery they used that person to materialize Dr. Fletcher in their machine. Unfortunately for The Heights their machine worked better than they had hoped which is what ultimately sealed their doom.
Now that Fletcher is back and is armed with the technology of today…there is sure to be some crazy experiments going on at the Dorsey Labs. No one will be safe from his clutches as he is sure to restart his efforts in resurrecting his dead wife Jenny. But this will not stop the ones that are out seeking the truth…The ones that continue their search for the GoatMan. Come…Search for the GoatMan…As the Legend Returns Home.
