I was told about the Goat-Man bridge at a very young age by my brother. There was said to be a creature living near there that had the shape of a man, but the head and legs of a goat. My brother also said the creature possessed supernatural powers and it was unsafe to drive there at night because it could kill your car's engine and battery to prevent you from escaping. I was a skeptical child and didn't believe any of it. So I was surprised when my sister later told me that the bridge actually was real. There was no story about Oscar Washburn back then, just a satyr like creature living nearby. She said if you went out there at night you would meet some potheads who would tell you about the Goat-Man. But nobody she knew had actually seen the Goat-Man for themselves.

Not an important post, I'm just illustrating how poorly written this article is. Take a look below:

When Washburn posted a sign on the bridge that advertised “this way to the Goatman,” it angered local Klansman. (note: "Klansman" -- singular)

On a dark night in August 1938, these hateful men ("hateful men" -- plural)

crossed the bridge without their headlights ("their" -- plural), (and put some headlights on those cars)

then burst into Washburn’s home and drug (should be "dragged") him from his family to the bridge.

The Klansman (singular)

then fitted a noose over his head and pushed him over the side of the bridge. However, when they (plural)

looked over to make sure he was dead, they (plural)

could see only the rope. Washburn was gone and was never seen again. The hateful Klansman (singular)

then went back to his home (the Klansman's home?)

and killed the rest of his family (his own family?).
