Elusive Goat Thwarts Police

Thursday morning,  North Potomac-Darnestown Patch reported a goat led police and animal control officers on an hour long zigzag chase, thwarting them all before running onto the CSX railroad tracks and disappearing.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? It's been a while since we've had a Goatman spotting. Although photos reveal this goat may not be the goat, could there be an awakening out there, stirring fellow creatures into action -- as our own Goatman wanders from home, perhaps reeling from flashbacks of that original explosion that turned him half-goat, half-man?

It takes a pretty crafty creature to hear that "Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you," and outgoat them all. Could he be kin to the creature that saved Goatman's burned skin and shared with him its elusive powers?

Whatever you do, if you find yourself pulled by invisible forces into Montgomery County, exercise caution. Even veteran Goatman seekers do not take the matter lightly.

On "The Goatman Story, according to the Greenbelt Boys" Facebook page, Jay Jenkins had this to say about the legendary creature.  "I have spent many nights hunting The Goatman - driving through the dark deserted roads from Beltsville to Bowie and running through the fields and woods with only the moonlight to guide. Being totally scared and totally enthralled at the same time. I am but one of many Greenbelt'ers who have scoured the dark crevices to keep Maryland safe (Lord knows we couldn't count on the girlies of Glenn Dale or the bums from Beltsville and Bowie)."

Greenbelt Patch is trying to locate Jenkins and see what insight he has on the crafty goat in Montgomery County. Stay tuned...
