Woman Killed By Train While Searching For The Mythical ‘Goat Man’ (Video)

A woman was killed in a bizarre and tragic accident in Kentucky on Saturday. She and her boyfriend were in search for the mythical Goat Man when she was struck by a train and thrown from the bridge it was crossing. According to the legend, the Goat Man is supposed to appear to people after they cross the long, highly-trafficked bridge…an unfortunate but foreseeable end to a poorly-conceived plan.

Officials have said that this kind of accident is more common than you might expect. Because of the legend, the bridge has been a hotspot for thrill-seekers and monster hunters for some time. Unfortunately, the frequency and speed of the trains, and the length of the bridge makes it an often deadly mistake to try and cross.

Our crack news team was able to dig up eyewitness video of this event, but we warn you: this graphic footage is not for everyone.
