A man and his father were walking through the local forest along a lake in western Sweden when they observed a humanoid-like being run past them. Was it a goatman?
I received the following account:
"Hello, sir. One early evening in January 2024, at around 5 pm on the west coast of Sweden (already dark outside), I and my dad went for a walk in the local forest maybe 10 minutes from civilization without any lights (trail without street lights, no flashlight). We could see the trail fairly clearly, we often took walks together and were talking about something mundane.
We were right next to a lake, and we noticed a big group of 50 or so ducks gathered in the water close to the beach. Out of nowhere, maybe 25 meters in front of us, a creature ran across the trail from right to left and continued down towards the lake. It quickly disappeared out of sight. I'd say about 150 cm tall, on four legs (although the front legs looked much longer than the hind legs, like a bipedal creature running on all four legs/arms). Beige or brown. Really fast runner. It made no noise except the sound of running.
All the ducks in the lake freaked out and started flying and screaming, which feels like weird behavior even if it would have been just a deer running (I'm not a wildlife expert). Just after the creature ran past a very heavy smell of iron/blood permeated the air, both of us could smell it. I've never experienced a smell like that before, and I work in a hospital and deal with blood often.
Personally, I'm fascinated by these kinds of events and definitely believe in different possibilities, but my dad's a hardcore skeptic, realist, science-loving man. He grew up on a farm in the middle of Sweden's forests and is very familiar with Swedish wildlife. He says he's never seen anything with that shape before, or anything that fast. We don't have many big mammals here at all really, the closest possibility is a deer but they usually never come that close to people and I've never seen one move that fast. And all their legs are roughly the same size of course, not like this thing that seemed to have a significantly larger upper body.
I wonder if it could have been a 'goatman' because of the iron smell that's always described in legends about the goatman. I'd love any sort of input on what you think this might be. Animal? Humanoid? If humanoid, what kind? All and any thoughts are welcome. I'm still shocked by the event and haven't really processed it." D
NOTE: I'm not sure what these witnesses saw. I don't know the 'goatman' legends in Sweden. Lon
