Close Encounters of the Unforgettable Kind

A hiker in Utah had an encounter with a human who was disguised as a member of a herd of wild goats:

What other stories are out there?

How do they know it was a man in the suit? Did he have a goatee?

Weirdest encounter I ever had hiking was getting shot at by some drunks. Happened a few times, but I haven't had to dodge any bullets since moving to the Eastern Sierra.

That nut case was probably just trying to get laid.

Remember the good ol' days? We had Bigfoot. The footage of Bigfoot walking across the clearing, looking over his right shoulder at the camera. That was great stuff.

Now, Goat Man. How weak.

Anyway, it's been a while, and nobody has come out of the closet. Does that mean that we can rule out scientific research? Mr Rat might be right.

I think SLR and Greg are both right, but things may be more bizarre than imagined.

Still, I wonder what other stories out there are being left for us to investigate or imagine on our own.
