Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

Officially known as Old Alton Bridge, this decrepit structure carries tales of darkness and a creature that’s said to roam its vicinity.

Built in 1884 to connect the towns of Alton and Denton, Old Alton Bridge quickly became the focal point of local folklore. The most chilling tale tells of the Goatman, a monstrous figure with a tragic past. As legend has it, this ghostly being was once a successful goat farmer who moved to the area only to be met with hatred and violence from locals. His lynching left a permanent scar on the landscape, transforming him into a vengeful spirit that haunts the bridge and the surrounding woods.

Visitors to Goatman’s Bridge report a variety of unsettling experiences: cars that stall for no reason, strange lights in the trees, and a heavy sense of dread. More alarming are the encounters with glowing red eyes in the darkness and the sound of hooves clattering on the wooden planks of the bridge. Some even speak of a terrifying figure chasing them from the bridge, its intent unclear but its presence overwhelmingly menacing.

Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of the hunt for paranormal phenomena or simply curious about Texas’s darker side, Goatman’s Bridge offers an intriguing exploration into a legend that has stood the test of time. Nighttime visitors might catch a glimpse of the Goatman or hear his eerie whispers carried on the wind.
