The Goatman is a hominid cryptid most commonly associated with Louisiana, Maryland and Texas. It is described as a seven foot tall hybrid creature; part man and part goat. Some claim it is a relative of the New Orleans evil chupacabra-like cryptid the Grunch. The urban legends of them often tells of it killing young lusting couples in parked cars or scouring neighborhoods killing family pets. There are also tales of them breaking into peoples' houses and raping its victims.
Kentucky has a Goatman tale from Pope Lick.

The ghoul are shape-shifting, cannibalistic, and blood-drinking creatures that feed on the flesh of human beings,


The Jinn Ghoul

especially travelers, children or corpses stolen out of graves. The oldest references to ghul in Arabian lore are found in The Book of 1001 Nights. There are several types of ghoul. The most feared is a female type (ghula) which has the ability to appear as a normal, mortal woman. According to lore, such a creature marries an unsuspecting man, who becomes her prey.
The ghoul are nocturnal creatures who inhabit graveyards, ruins and other lonely places. Sometimes they are described as dead humans who sleep for long periods in secret graves, then awake, rise and feast on both the living and the dead. Ghoul also personify the unknown terrors held by the desert.

Agreed, and Guilley agrees they don't look like that!
Digital photography and editing makes it so easy to create just about anything, and make it believable. Fortunately, these images are very amateurish, and created in Photoshop, or a similar application. Even shooting on film doesn't exclude photo manipulation, as a photo can be scanned and manipulated in a number of ways.
