SLC News: Goat Man edition

Of the stories going on in and around Salt Lake City during my trip, the best one is Goat  Man.

Goat Man is a grown man in a goat costume who has been spotted hanging out with goats.



Ummm...okay.

I didn't see him when I traveled through that area, which is just as well as I am not sure how I would have taken it.

The mystery of Goatman was eventually solved.  He was identified as a Southern Californian hunter in his late 50s, preparing to hunt down some Mountain Goats.

Goatman was a curiosity that sent Utahans to hunt him down, and appeared on reddit and in Weekly World News,  He sent many on a quest, though he was not amused, and when one wannabe journo tracked him down, Goatman just sat there.

it gets weirder from there.

After Goat Man dominated local media, leave it to others to push the envelope.  One Tim Sessions realized that he had a Hot Dog costume, and took to the Wasatch Mountains to hunt down Goat Man as Hot Dog Man.

So, perhaps if you find yourself in Utah and go for a hike, perhaps you too will see Goat Man or Hot Dog Man.  What's next?  Who knows?
