Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Nestled deep in the woods between Denton and Copper Canyon, Texas, lies an unassuming wooden structure with a chilling past—Goatman’s Bridge. Known officially as the Old Alton Bridge, this seemingly simple crossing is anything but ordinary. Steeped in tales of demonic entities, violent history, and occult rituals, it’s become one of the most infamous haunted sites in the South. Some say the spirit of a lynched Black goat farmer seeks justice from beyond the grave. Others claim satanic worshipers opened a portal to something far darker—summoning the legendary half-man, half-goat beast said to stalk the surrounding woods with glowing red eyes. From shadowy figures to documented physical attacks, countless witnesses have come forward with bone-chilling accounts of what lingers near the bridge. In this episode, we explore the dark legend of Goatman’s Bridge—where folklore, fear, and the unexplained collide in the heart of Texas. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation with author Becky Vickers about her book, The Secrets of Goatman's Bridge: True Tales of Chilling Paranormal Encounters at One of the Most Haunted Bridges in America.
