Although slightly further afield from Philly, one of the most sinister of monster legends which has fascinated us for years concerns Lancaster County, a place which, over the years, has been known for its reports of ferocious werewolves and also Bigfoot. In the past at Phillyist we've discussed these eerie legends with brief mention of one of the strangest spectres known to haunt the county: The Albatwitches.

Beneath the Remains

Looking through hundreds of cases of strange monsters, eerie phantoms, bizarre flying objects and other anomalous phenomena, you'd be amazed at just how many of these incidents have simply been born from hysteria, exaggeration or twisted truth. This is not to say that a lot of hauntings, peculiar beast sightings and the like are hoaxes or easily explainabale, as they aren't, but this next case proves just how potent mere legend can be despite being bereft of any evidence...

Since the beginning of this series, we at Phillyist have always attempted to unearth the most obscure and bizarre tales in relation to the state—not just your run-of-the-mill, middle-of-the-road regurgitations—and this week is no exception. What we have in store, although brief, is about as obscure as it gets. We bring you the true story of the spectral black goat!
