It was at spring break and me and my friends Jason were walking to my house because he was going to stay the night. We had been looking forward to this for a while as we walked around town on the way to my house we began talking about legends, myths, and ghost stories. I told him about the town legend he had never herd it before.

I said, "Ever herd the legend of the goat man. Down at the bike trail at night years back there was a goat man that would capture kids and kill them. Now it is has been going around sometimes at night you can see him walking around still looking for children. "He was amazed by hearing that and wanted to go down there. I immediately said' "NO!, are you crazy people still say they see him." Still he wanted to go so i finally said ok. the time was around 5:27.

I thought hey there is still light out what could go wrong. So we walked down there to see what we could after going to my house for supplies. We got flash lights a little food and a couple of knives just in case. We arrived down at the bike trail at 6:12pm still a little like but I be gain to worry. we looked around the trail just like any one else would have looking at trees, bushes, ect. Now there has always been a tunnel at the bike trail but no one ever enters it that is where he is suppose to be. We knew if we wanted to see him we would have to go in it unfortunately.

We had to crawl on our hands and knees about 15yards in the dark. We had to use those flashlights a lot. we crawled and crawled talking about if we would see it and we came to a turn. I saw a large figure at the end of a straitaway I said," Jason you see that?" He said, "yes!" I shined my light on it it didn't move at first so I thought it was just a shadow but then me and Jason didn't move and it started to move into the light I saw a humaniod figure with long wild hair and in the body it looked scarangly. I began to cuss under my breath. We heard a scratch and I said, "That wasn;t me Jason RUN!" He replied," I know!"

We then turned And crawled as fast as we could to the entrance. My blood freeze as i heard the sounds of heavy panting of of breathing claws on the wall trying to catch me. A little known fact is I might be a heavy looking guy but little to none can catch me when i am trying to escape some thing. when we made it to the entrance we were in a state of shock the sun was all the way down we could hear the creature stop when we got out of the tunnel it seems to have reseaded back into the tunnel. We fled back to our bikes and we rode hard into the night until our blood felt like it was going to boil and then we rode some more we went strait to my house. After getting in side we talked about every thing that happened. We told our friends and we have been there again and seen it more than once but that is a different story.
