What was the mythical creature said to have stalked Erie County in the 1970s?
There’s legend of a mystical creature in Waterford that terrorized citizens in the 1970s.
According to the cryptid’s lore, the sheep-like creature was seen by hundreds of witnesses from school children to adult farmers, as told by Robin Swope, a Waterford native and pastor at the Bountiful Community Church in Utah. Swope told tale of the creature, yet no one really knew of its true origin nor what happened to it.
The legend of the Sheepsquatch, also called Sheepman or Goatman, has circulated around Waterford since the early 1970s, according to a chapter in the book “Pennsylvania in the Paranormal Vortex” by Fred Saluga and Raymond Keller.
The Waterford Sheepsquatch was described as a large humanoid being covered in fur with large horns and devilish hooves.
