hello hi welcome back to two girls one goat two girls one goat and we are your goess that's Karen and I'm Sabrina and this is an episode where we read your encounters with goats and it's another amazing week okay well let's start the episode today do you have a new favorite goat this week H what did I say last week I probably said Pym goat I was kind of debating a fainting goat but I also feel like I'd have a lot of fear with being

1:00

around a fainting goat and really my love of goats is not just about having this tiny little goats that act like dogs but also the potential of you know having some cheese and some some good Dairy so I'm going to go with the Nigerian dwarf that's a good one this week what about you there's so many to pick from and I feel like I know how do you choose your favorite goat it's impossible right cuz there's like the mountain goats and I mean when you think about the history of goats and just how long that they have been a part of our lives and they've also they're like one of the first animals that kind of became a pet in a household animal they're domesticated they've around 8,000 to 9,000 years ago isn't that wild everybody's house has a goat okay I'm going to pick I'm going to pick one I mean this is like one of the hardest questions of our podcast

2:00

I know why did we even make this a prompt for us every week where we have to I know have to choose H I like the kiko goat which is from New Zealand did you ever see them when you were in New Zealand I don't know if I saw them I definitely saw like smaller breed because I went to a goat Shear or like a sheep shearing but I'm not sure if I saw the kiko but those are interesting because those ones are hybrids so they are created like a hundred years ago or something like that weren't they well actually so the most rare goat is also from New Zealand the Arawa goat and it's like the most rare goat am I mixing those two up wait what does the Arawa look like they're kind of like black and white a little Oreo also for those of you who are wondering I know this is a question that's come up quite a lot in the past few years of our conversations about goats and our favorite goats I feel like people often get goats and sheep confused I just want to say yes they kind of have similarities and come from a similar genus but they are not

3:00

the same they're very very different and yeah I just think it's important that if you're listening to two girls one goat that you understand that yeah also another thing that I always get tripped up on and it makes my brain just melt a little bit when I see a Boer goat because it looks exactly like the Target dog so it does I'm always like is that Target dog actually a dog or is that a goat I don't goat well now I like Target even more cuz now I'm going to think of I'm I'm going with the boat they love goats clearly yeah well should we get into

Clever goat stories

some goat stories this week these are sent in from all you goat lovers out there and we read your stories back to you okay so one of my favorite things about goats is the fact that they they're so smart and they can like pick up on cues they know their names they also know how to manipulate humans in

4:00

this really intelligent way for sure they have so much personality right so this story I found it's from someone named sweater child and they said my sister's [ __ ] goat realized that when my cats come up to the back door and meow I let them come into the house and all of a sudden I started finding my sister's goat at my back door making noises staring at us through the glass with when we wouldn't let her in no way that's so clever at first it was normal just goat noises but then she evolved and has now started imitating cats when that didn't work she just started screeching oh precious silly Little Goat you want to see a photo of the goat so cute yeah look at her oh I love when the goats have those big floppy ears they're

5:00

so adorable they're so cute I just want to kiss them and smell them oh same okay I have one this is from no [ __ ] Peep Show and it's about Gilbert Gilbert the goat they write not my goat but my friends her parents had a large area behind their house that was fenced and they had chickens and geese and Gilbert he was actually a pretty big goat and very social with people and his poultry friends I'm not sure he actually knew he was a goat he would flock together with the geese so there would be this gaggle of geese all together in an area digging for bugs and then there would be Gilbert right there in the middle of them and there were these rituals whenever her or her mother came out to feed and check on these animals and they would fawn over Gilbert but you see I did not know the rituals and when I visited and was accompanying my friend into their patch of land Gilbert approached and he just stared at me I go about and I I turn

6:00

around and there's Gilbert staring at me I continued to go about only this time just as I turn around Gilbert raises up he puts his goat legs on my shoulders and is now standing with his goat legs on my shoulders staring me in the eyes and I just froze and for a moment there we were locked in a dance my round pupil staring into his horizontal pupils and he just looked at me oh it's beautiful I know they're slow dancing together I feel like they're like falling in love and doing a slow dance they're holding each other's hands and they're going really fast in circles and it's like all blurry and they fall down and they laugh around in the daisy beds the leaves fall in the the air yeah the wind is whistling singing a sweet tune best friends let me tell you about my best friend okay apparently I was supposed to grab Gilbert by his horns and kind of push him around while making a goooo Gilbert noises and then I

7:00

was supposed to bend over and just let him butt me in the ass while making an exaggerated show of it but obviously this is to be followed by me telling him what a rotten goat he is while he kicks off merily but having done none of this poor Gilbert was left with no choice but to confront me regarding my rude and insensitive Behavior you got to know the traditions of gilber you got to know the song and dance and you got to you got to do things accordingly it's like the Parent Trap friendship like handshake that Gilbert does it's his own version I love it I also love because goats are like one of the animals that need socialization it doesn't even need to be other goats but the fact that Gilbert is like surrounded by like the chickens and all the other animals I know he doesn't even know it's his little like party I love it yeah so I also feel like goats do get bad reps and sometimes like when you lean into like a paranormal

Haunted barn mystery

8:00

aspect goats are associated with like the demon and Satan and all of this stuff and I will say goats sometimes do lean into that because this story so this is a two-parter this is like a legend from a neighboring town and then a personal goat story okay and it says not my story but a friends who grew up on a farm one night they noticed the lights were flickering in the barn so they changed the bulbs but it kept happening they kept checking the wiring and couldn't find anything wrong the flickering continued every night it was driving them nuts what could be the problem so one night when it was happening they ran outside and what they found was not what they expected they caught one of the goats standing on a chair that she had pushed over by the door and was flicking the light switch off and on off and on pretty sure the goat thought it was hilarious a that is oh my gosh haunted

9:00

by a goat you didn't even know you're like who's the Intruder just your goat if you ever think you have a ghost it might be a goat yeah it probably is a goat well this is the urban legend during the silver rush in Nevada a man named Sutro dug a horizontal tunnel from the bottom of the mountain and connected it to all the mines he would charge the mining companies for his drainage service then miners then began to be haunted by a ghostly spirit with two glowing blue orbs that would chase them down the tunnel they refused to work in the haunted mines and eventually they discovered it was a goat who was wandering to the bottom of the mine and was eating their lunches when they would flee I love this so much like I love that the goats are leaning in yeah and there's like the mystery in the lore and everyone's talking about monsters and all these things that it could potentially be but it's like it's the

10:00

goat it's the goat wait this reminds me I don't know if you've seen this video online but it it came out a few months ago there was this couple that was freaking out because they kept seeing these lights in their tree line and they were like zooming in and it was all of these lights it like looked like orbs moving through their tree line and they're flipping their [ __ ] cuz they're like what the [ __ ] kind of monsters out there and eventually they get a spotlight and it was cows their neighbors cows had escaped the yard and were wandering through and all the orbs were actually just their eyeballs like reflecting yeah cuz they like what creatures are out there they're so tall like what the [ __ ] is that it was a bunch of cows cows that's amazing yeah

Weird goat behavior

there's one story about goats that I'm so obsessed with I think it was like in 2015 there were a bunch of goats that actually it might have been like 2021 but there were like a 100 goats that appeared out of nowhere in Boise

11:00

Idaho and everyone was like where do these goats come from like hundreds of goats like literally different types of goats different sizes different colors just like walking around the town and people are like where the heck did these goats come from where did they come from did the mystery was it solved it was solved so apparently they had escaped from a weed clearing job and they were just like let's all go on an adventure and one just led the pack and they all just took off through Boise ey oh my God that is so good wait also this is a good segue because you said weed clearing and I immediately thought of like actual marijuana weed oh instead of just weeds which is a great service if people don't know you should look around your area to see if there's any like local farms or a goat or sheep or a different farm animals that they can sometimes they'll boss them in and let them kind of just like roam on your property and clear out all of your brush cuz they'll eat it all so it's a good service to look into but book witch had

12:00

said that they had a goat named Bennett and Bennett the goat thought that he was a dog and when their husband went to work they would just let Bennett inside and treat him like a dog and he would just like spend all day in the house with her and he would jump up on the couch and he would nibble all the buttons off of like just the various things that they had around he would jump in the dryer to actually see what sort of buttons he could find in there like what clothes he could ruin and then he did eat a bunch of her husband's weed and so this was like sort of a sent in as a confession she she said sorry Ben I love you but he ate your weed oh man I wonder what happens I feel like he just really wanted friends and he probably just like wanted to have this little Weed Circle where he's like guys I know where my dad keeps his stash because Bennett would let all the other goats around he would go around the area and he would let out all of the other goats out of the pen and then they would all show up to This Woman's front porch

13:00

waiting to be led in to hang out with waiting to sit in a circle around the couch see this is why this podcast exists this is why we do this because I know goats are I think they're better than humans they're so hilarious they're so intelligent they're truly just like scheming they really are wait do you remember that story I think it was in Washington state park I think it was like 400 goats became addicted to human urine and oh they're so gross and so great at the same time there were almost like 400 goats that had to be airlifted out of the Washington State Park because they became addicted to human urine and they would literally stalk hikers traveling through the park hoping to get a sip of their pee wait I do remember this they're such weird little urine vampires they are they want to slurp up your pee sometimes will slurp up their own pee

14:00

which is so weird like contort themselves and just like drink their own pee it's moments like that where I'm like sometimes I do get the ick from the goats why do I love goats so much when they literally pee in their own mouths I think that's a reason to love them like they're so bizarre but they're so smart and they're like lovable dumb Smarties right and if you don't give them an opportunity you may never get to hold them and slow dance with them in a field staring into their horizontal pupil right who doesn't want that foot loose but recast it with only goats with goats man we got some business ideas

Interaction with goats

would you tongue a goat okay well this is an aesti reality podcast okay but like the same way like a dog will lick you you know like would you let a goat lick you oh my hand yes not my face where I fully let dogs lick my face and I know that they probably do the same stuff and like they eat poop and whatever but I I do let dogs lick my

15:00

face I know that some people think that's really gross I don't let strangers dogs lick my face yeah I I don't either I try to like pull pull away when they do it's like a second or third encounter date situation where like a dog can lick my face right although I did accidentally French kiss my neighbor's dog because she's so loud like when she's outside she's just like constantly barking she's a little dog so doesn't bother me at all but she's just like you know she's got this big attitude and you'd think she's so territorial and then the very first time I met her in person when we were with our neighbors she is the second I crossed the threshold of their house and sat down on the couch she got like took the opportunity to launch herself up and stick her tongue right in my mouth as I was talking I was like oh God so to be fair she frenched you she kissed me and I didn't pull back as quickly as maybe I should have cuz I should have

16:00

just shoved her fully off the couch and been like no cuz I'm sure they don't want people doing like having her do that but I just kind of like pushed her away from my mouth I was like thank you for the kisses thank you like I almost was my my words probably felt like encouragement to her and so she definitely tried to launch herself a few more times though I did block her successfully from accessing my she'll keep trying though she will keep trying she certainly will I highly recommend that you if you're in like a bad mood that you just Google photos of goats with their tongues out because every photo where a goat has their tongue out their eyes are like crazy you don't know which direction they're looking in and they're [Laughter] like oh my God I'm kind of scared of certain goats too I feel like the bigger they are the more nervous I am around them because goats are one of the least predictable animal in my opinion it's like being around a llama or something

17:00

it's like will it spin on me or just start like running towards me to like headbutt me or is just going to be a loving moment or we're snacking together I don't know especially Billy Goats because they can be very Territorial and Alpha and they want to like assert their dominance so it can be scary yeah well

Paranormal encounters

you had mentioned before that you I mean this isn't a ghost podcast this is a goat podcast so we don't normally dive into that world but you had mentioned a little bit of like the Paranormal side and I do actually have a pretty short email that was sent in from Nicole that kind of dabbles on that side too okay Nicole said I one time had a dream where I was in my bed in my room but the room was not my room but another room and I didn't recognize it but where my door was supposed to be there was actually a ladder leading up to this Frame doorway and the the doorway was so dark and

18:00

black you could barely see anything until a black goat jumped out of the doorway and ran down the stairs and it started talking to me and it asked me if I had met him before and it felt like I was being pulled back and forth between the sleep paralysis State and being cognitive and I just could not wake up but I also wasn't asleep and then the goat asked me again if I had met him before and I responded no who is he and at the moment that I said he a sickly old man appeared at the top of the stairs and he floated over to me he did not walk he did not step he floated and he came very close to the side of my bed next to the goat he leaned towards me and as if I was under his control my mouth opened like the Dementors in Harry Potter and a white Mist came from my throat into his pinky fingernail and this was happening as I was fighting and I was trying to fight the sleep so hard and when I finally did wake up

19:00

my throat hurt so bad and I felt exhausted and I was uneasy the entire day I never had this dream again but I'm pretty sure whatever that was was trying to steal my soul so the goat is like a gatekeeper to some other world sometimes too it's like just hopping down trying to be silly being like hi I'm here have you met him and you're like who is he and then you get your soul sucked out of you I don't love that the darker side of the Paranormal have corrupted our loving lovable goats I know and use them doesn't seem fair it doesn't but you know what if the goat wants to be a little mischievous let them be mischievous as long as the goat is not doing the suffocating and the evil stuff it's it's just a playful little do you know him you want to know him you don't want to know him but he wants to know you well and it's like the classic examples where people are like oh don't take candy from strangers if someone

20:00

asks if you want to see a puppy in their van don't go there but I feel like you and I with our goat Obsession it's so easily like I wouldn't understand that I was potentially in a bad dream or experiencing some demonic episode something within the Paranormal because I'd see the goat and I'd be like goats are friends I fully trust this guy I'm having one of those moments where I'm just so grateful I'm like so grateful for the fact that I have you in my life and I have someone who appreci Ates and loves goats as much as I do because I feel like I spent my whole life just having this like secret this desire and love and passion to learn and consume everything well and people try to shoot you down too when you try to talk about it and it's so annoying and people would be like oh goats aren't that interesting like I hate goats goats suck goats smell and you're just like okay well can we not just have like a two-way conversation you don't have to believe

Community goat stories

in the magic of goats but I feel you why do you have to make me feel bad for

21:00

loving goats you know what's so funny is actually I feel like the amount of times that I tell people about our podcast and I say the name of it and they think I say ghosts like the Paranormal really yeah that's so weird it's so weird and I was like no it's goats come on it's goats we talk about real [ __ ] on this podcast please goat [ __ ] but yeah we really do appreciate this community and it is really nice to just like hear all the goat stories and have all of these people whether they I mean because before I felt like in order to find a place that was like accepting or people who actually wanted to talk about this I'd have to go to like the most extreme which was like farmers and I was just going to say Farms Farms I'd have to go to the Farms or I'd have to go to Goat yoga like to actually be able to discuss my joy of goats without someone thinking that I'm like crazy or giving me dirty looks or making me feel stupid and so like you were saying it's been this like lifelong thing where like we didn't really feel like we necessarily had

22:00

froms goats yeah you guys just get it so yeah thank you for being here by by okay I have another goat story okay I have like two more to share today you guys we have so many encounters it's wild we could do this for years and years but I have two more yeah that's why we have been going for years and so many goat stories goat greatest of all time baby well one of my stories is just a funny goat story and another one is like kind of funny because everyone thinks that I say ghosts when I tell them name of our podcast I think goats are the goats of ghosts so that's my my last story I'll share after wait say that again because I my brain is not comprehending goats are the goat of ghosts the greatest of all time ghosts oh okay agreed the best haunters that's if I ever experienced anything paranormal which I never have before but

23:00

like it essential that it would have to involve a goat right has to that's what everybody wants that's what we all wish for unless we're too scared and then we're like oh my God please I hope a goat doesn't visit me well here's the thing if Satan really does use goats as their like cover I will sell my soul because that's the way in my heart is show up as a goat and I will run off with you into the woods and do the Foot Loose dance any day take me to your cabin goat I'll feed you endless weeds and then give you weed whatever you want I'll let you slurp up

Goats in suburban life

my pee all day long fresh pee all day okay so this is from our listener Mara and she says I am so excited how many people have goat stories I just finished buying tickets for y'all's October show in New Orleans and I can't wait to see you in the meantime here is my goat story

24:00

when I was in about fourth grade my mom and dad got on this big Health Food kick and all of a sudden my sister and I had to stop eating anything that tasted good everything was about granola and herbs and you guessed it goat milk so we had these two goats that my parents would milk they were named Brownie and Blackie because my sister who was four years younger than me was super creative and named them after the colors that they were anyway Blackie had a baby who I named sugar she was black and white and a very cute goat sugar I love dogs so I proceeded to raise sugar just like any puppy that I had raised we lived down a long dirt road and every day I would ride my bike or walk down the dirt road with my mom and sister and all of our dogs to catch the bus so naturally the goat sugar started going on these trips with us so I would just like you imagine a little tomboy riding her bike down the road while three to five hunting dogs and a goat chased at after her bike and then imagine them all standing there

25:00

watching me boarding the bus waving goodbye the best part though is when I would get home cute they all would be waiting for me at the end of the road all of my dogs and my goat sugar oh my God that is just the cutest thing in the world I love that so much sugar just waiting I wonder what everyone else thought of it you know like is this an area where a lot of people had goats and she wasn't the only one who had a goat or some a pig or like some type of animal waiting or was this just like it just reminds me of when I used to live in Los Angeles and I had lived in Burbank for a summer and there was a woman who would walk her goat yeah and Burbank does have a lot of farms it is kind of like the equestrian center of that area but it does still feel out of place cuz it's like you have a huge it was like right next to Disney like the Disney lot War brothers and I was like right there feels very Suburban too it feel like you would expect a goat to be

26:00

walking around yeah you have Hollywood celebrities pulling into the studio lots and then another 90 seconds later there's someone walking their goat maybe that is very La I don't know it does feel a little La I do love so thinking about you saying the Target dog looks like a goat I do wonder if because there's like four dogs and a goat waiting for her like greeting her sending her off to school like if people on the bus just think it's five dogs M and if you really look you're like oh wait that one is not a dog right I mean if you squint hard enough I'm sure CU you're not expecting to see it right right okay but we do have uh I have a bit of news I know that this is kind of late to say it on the podcast but I felt like well we've already discussed it previously in the month of October which is our very favorite month because it's the month that all of the world's best cheeses are announced which is you know

Top goat cheeses

we love a good goat cheese we do but I did want to just remind some people of

27:00

the top five places that have ranked this past year for goat cheese because I'm going to butcher the names of the cheeses but I will try to say them but in first place we have a Norwegian cheese this was from this past October October 2023 it is the nid delin blah I want to try all of these we should have a taste testing on our patreon or something where we do cheese yeah everyone bring your favorite goat cheese bring your favorite goat cheese I also I should have looked this up ahead of time but of course I feel like I always in the moment say these things and then I'm like oh why didn't I do more research but I want to see like what specific breeds and animals all these juices came from so we can actually discuss them and sort of like the process of the IDE yeah but in second place from Belgium we have balhoff Hans ashas oh hard name to pronounce yes but soft cheese to eat soft cheese to eat and then in third place and also fifth

28:00

place we have two cheeses from Switzerland fourth place is India but the third place one is El wzig site five gener I struggled to say that I will try these cheeses but I have yet to discover another cheese that I enjoy more than bueron oh I love bueron stinky sticky yeah so good Trader Joe's has really good goat cheese what's the one they have like the like blueberries like the fruit kind of on it that one I really like oh yeah so um one of my childhood friends they have since sold their company but they owned Vermont creamy and they make some really good goat cheese bricks with like The Cranberries the blueberries over it and then whenever I go to their house one of the things that his parents would do was they would take some of the ones that are like the logs that are the goat cheese logs that are rolled in herbs and just drizzle honey over it or if you

29:00

just have the plain goat cheese block honey and some like walnuts like crush up some wal much so good so good why haven't we done this like a goat cheese taste testing review yeah for how many years we've been doing this I am very shocked we haven't done that yet I know same I think we need to go record from a farm next time and like make our own chees that's a really good idea you know like when you're a little kid and they put you can put like cow milk from the farm into a jar and you like shake it I feel like we should go visit some goats and some sheep and kind of do like some taste tests to learn how differently things taste based on the animal did I ever tell you my origin story of like

Goat origin stories

when I first fell in love with goats no okay well this is the perfect time so I was five or six so it was like kindergarten first grade and we did a field trip to a farm in Jersey and you know they gave all of us carrots and food that we could feed to the animals

30:00

and I was feeding a carrot to a horse and the horse chomped down on my fingers and it hurt so bad and I was balling my eyes out as I was crying a goat literally came up to me and like did a little like head nudge and it was the most like beautiful moment they're like Shake It Off kid you're going to be okay yeah and it was like really sweet and endearing and it was like you you're okay we know that horse is a little bit of a bit literally bit it bit me and come over here with the goats it's better over here and so I went and hung out with the goats and I love that and the rest is history the rest is history you got real upclose and personal to your goat for your goat origin story mine is interesting because my origin story involves a donkey as well and it was kind of a fear induced experience and yet I love goats and donkeys now so I don't my childhood brain was like it

31:00

was your fault K not the Animals still love them no but uh one of my dad's old co-workers she had this farm and she would make her own ice cream and she made the most this is like my memory as being like a four-year-old she made the best blue ice cream and I don't even know what the flavor was but it was blue it was like bright bright blue and it was the most sugary thing I've ever tasted and it was the freshest thing came from it was probably cotton gidy it came from the animals on the farm and then she was like oh do you want to go look at the rest of animals and it was while I was examining goats and sheep that a donkey did start to kind of like do a little warning charge and that scared me that is scary love of the goats you know the goats didn't do that it's interesting that we both had like a an animal scare us but we trusted the goats in those moments yeah you're getting attitude from one animal and you look at the goat and they're like I

32:00

don't know where they could have picked up that behavior from definitely not from me and you're like I believe that I

Past life regression

totally believe that goat yeah okay this is called Freaky past life regression story so I'm a longtime listener and I was recently listening to your podcast about goats where you did mention randomly past life regression and it really intrigued me so me being the curious person that I am I started doing some research on the subject and I came across a YouTube video of a guided medic ation by this man Brian Weiss I think I have heard of that guy's name before yeah probably one of just those like random Youtube like suggested for you or other people are watching yeah exactly he starts out by explaining the process and it's not a full hypnosis but the visions that I had while doing this meditation were enough to send shivers down your spine now let me begin with I've always been sensitive to the Paranormal wow I saw my first ghost at the age of two and I still remember it Vivid vidly but I'll save that for another time so with all that being said

33:00

let's dive into this endeavor Brian White started out by bringing you back to a child and then you're in Udo which I'll skip all of that and get straight to the meat and the potatoes of this not goat meat I hope not or maybe I do yum he describes a garden of bliss that you start out in a safe space so to speak what I saw was more of an open field with tall brown grass and now he didn't describe anything other than flowers in this Garden but I didn't really see any flowers it was just this tall dead grass and then there was this woman and she was petite she was blonde she had emerald green eyes and then Brian Weiss describes a door and when the door opens there's a bright light and you go and you walk through it once I did I was somewhere in the 1600s era in in a Northern Area like New England must be cuz then they they write I'm from Florida it was fall and the tree were all yellows and reds I was a child

34:00

at first but then the next thing I know I'm a grown man and I'm getting married to the blonde woman from the field before the door everything felt so real and the happiness that I felt was so different than anything I've ever felt before and now comes the freaky part all of the sudden this happiness ended and there were just these flashes of a goat's head and its yellow eyes were staring into my soul and then bam the blonde is standing in front of me wearing the head of the goat stabbing and slashing at me and out of nowhere she was surrounded by women and they're all chanting in this strange language and then Brian talks you into waking up and now all of this was just 3 days ago and I still remember everything to a tea and yeah that's my story hope you all enjoyed from Stephen what the heck Stephen what kind of freaking goat ritual did you live in a past life in I mean it seems like he was the sacrifice I know this is what's that movie with um she wears the flower crown she's the

35:00

flower Queen and then there's the bear um uh with Florence Pew uh Midsummer Midsummer I didn't want to give too many details because I I feel like I'm always like what's that movie where and I immediately say I say what happens so I was trying to not say that this time but it does kind of feel like that doesn't it it does seem very like witch ritual which actually now that we're like talking about these couple of like spooky more paranormal stories that involve goats it makes me want to do like we should one day just do an episode and call it two girls one ghost as like a funny homage to the fact that people always think that's what we say and just do all ghost stories and we can't address it at all we can't say anything we have to be so serious about it and like just put it out and okay that's it that's a great idea I guarantee we'll never remember to do that but I think that's a great idea for sure forget okay well speaking of that

The goat demon garage

this story I have is this is a bit longer and it is kind of leaning into

36:00

the Paranormal okay I'll put on my believer my believer hat for this one like ghost girl hat if we had those you know yeah yeah yeah yeah if we didn't have goat girl hats it would be ghost girl hats for our paranormal podcast okay it is called the goat demon that lived in my garage this story is very near and dear to my heart I'm very nervous about sharing this one because I feel like it's very unbelievable and I'm always afraid people will look at me crazy but I feel comfortable here with others who love goats as much as I do I would like to remain anonymous if you read this on the podcast but I'm going to still sign my name so you can see who it is so this is the story of the goat man in my garage a little bit of background it is important to know that I was very spiritual at the time I still am just a bit out of practice I actually opened up myself because of a spiritual encounter I had with an entity and it caused me to start seeing things on the other side I'm not sure if I'm a medium of some sort but it doesn't matter because I've blocked myself off after everything that happened in this story so this time I was heavily into

37:00

tarot I started researching more spirituality and a cult and I had a best friend at the time who was a medium so I was pretty deep into it this is really interesting like I feel like we don't ever hear about this type of stuff and it I know and it is interesting like the few stories that we have pulled that people seem to be like very into this world and have a lot of power like someone said that they've been seeing stuff their whole lives this person is sitting there a medium so it's like we're getting getting the experts of this world are goats the segue into ghosts maybe like maybe this is just the beginning for us yeah maybe we should dabble we can start dabbling okay so part one is called he followed me home there was a park down the street from my house and I would often go there to meditate and practice tarot because to put it into simple terms it was a hot spot for Spirits I had a lot of medical issues and I could rarely leave the house so this was the perfect place for me to get out and practice my craft on this day I was not doing the best and I decided to head to the park to clear my

38:00

mind I sat down at a table and there were a group of three teenagers at a table close to me talking one of them seemed to be ranting to the others and sounded so angry that I could feel the anger coming off of them then I felt something with them I couldn't see him but I felt like it was right behind the kid that was ranting I don't usually do tarot in front of others but this felt like the right thing to do as soon as I took the cards out there was a cold breeze behind me me and it turned into a cold spot on my left shoulder I started asking the spirit questions but he wouldn't answer and he kept switching from my left shoulder to my right to my left to my right as if looking over my shoulder at the cards he wouldn't answer anything until I asked him are you right behind me and he finally answered yes eventually I felt so drained that I stopped and I just sat in nature for a second to reground myself as I sat and reflected I realized that I felt threatened when that Spirit was around and I felt myself getting irritated and angry with his answers almost like that

39:00

kid who was ranting and angry who was at the park I definitely felt a sense of dread and I watched the teens leave and debated telling them that something was following them but I didn't even feel him anymore so just as soon as they left

Communicating with spirits

I put the cards away and I packed up and left little did I know this would not be my last interaction with this Spirit part two The Haunting unfortunately this part in the middle of everything is a blur it happened about 3 years ago and I have a really shitty memory so here's what I remember it started out super small lights going on turning off on their own footsteps walking down the hallway when everyone was asleep the classics I didn't think much of it because this stuff happened to me all the time but these actions slowly started amping up when I wasn't there my sister would hear voices in my room like two people were having conversations but she couldn't make out what they were saying our garage is at the end of the house and the laundry room is next to it at the start of the small hallway is the master which was my grandmother's room

40:00

and as soon as I would walk up to the laundry room I would get a nasty feeling like nausea you know that feeling when you're running up some stairs and you need to run up faster because it feels like someone's chasing you yes that's the feeling I've had that when a goat has literally chased me up the stairs I know I was getting flashbacks to the donkey chasing me in the field like I know how it feels to be chased yeah that's what I would feel and I'd have the instinct to run and as I got closer to the garage that feeling would get worse so I stopped going and I only went there to do laundry and would always ask my grandpa to get things out of the garage for me because he didn't believe in any of that stuff and really didn't care keep in mind I never told my grandmother about any of this stuff because she's very religious and did not agree with my craft so I knew it was getting bad because she came to me and told me that she was having the same feeling in that same area and had been praying over it more than a week wow so we decided to get some materials to cleanse the house ASAP my grandma's cats would always sit at the door in a vshape almost like they were guarding it like

41:00

all of them like this at the door spooky until the supplies arrived we had to do and live like normal one day my grandparents weren't home so I had to go to the garage to get some food I opened the door and looked into the garage the light is a little ways into the room so I unfortunately had to walk into the garage in the dark before turning the lights on I sensed something in there I inched into the room to reach for the light went out of the corner I saw a shadow I turned to look and there it was a shadow of a tall figure it was darker than the pitch black room and was crouching down next to a shelf looked like a frog how it sits with its knees and hands in front looking like it was ready to pounce at me whenever it wanted I was terrified and Frozen with fear don't the figures usually go away right when you stare at them I don't know I don't know anything about ghosts I saw him start to stand and it looked to be S or 8T tall they can grow like that that is terrifying terrifying I finally got the courage to shut the door and lock it and I said you're not welcome past this

42:00

point and I put my hand on the door with intent put a shield up that he could not cross and after this he never left the garage until he did part three I wasn't the only one who saw him the only reason I know I was not making this up is because three other people confirmed what I felt my grandparents went on a trip for a few days so I asked my best friend to come get me we'll call her Emma Emma's the medium I never told her about any of this and as soon as she walked into the house she said there's something in here it didn't really click in my mind or in Emma's mind that this was the entity from the park but on the drive back to Emma's house we did a quick little tarot session in the car to try to figure it out and he proceeded to pull the same card over and over this

Facing the demon

card I like to call my [ __ ] card which is my deck's way of saying stop being a [ __ ] so we hung out at Emma's place for a while and Emma offered to stay the night with me knowing that I would be at my house alone that night we tried to communicate with this entity but kept

43:00

getting another Spirit talking through the cards when we asked him to spell his name he kept spelling the letters JT over and over we asked for his full name but never got anything more than that and he had a bad energy about him and kept insulting us through the cards then he started talking about my sister saying bad things about her and how he had the power to get her so at this point I'm fuming and I tell him if you're so angry then leave there's no point in dishing out threats if you can't actually go through with it and I got a picture of how he looked in my mind average height brown hair middle-aged felt almost like a really piss off Father Figure after an hour of back and forth we felt the presence from the garage come into the room JT's energy changed and started to tell us to run leave the house and don't come back so I asked out loud is someone else here and all the cards said yes I tried egging him on a bit asking if he wanted Emma to leave so he could scare me alone and he was frantically saying no you both need to leave it's not safe here a card fell out of the deck and onto the floor and when I went to grab it Emma

44:00

told me to stop don't touch it when I asked her why she said it's pointing I looked at the card and it landed facing the hallway to the garage Emma just looked at me with the is there something you haven't told me look o I would have such a chill too for this to like have the ability to point in the direction of somewhere right I'd be like I'm not sure if I'm supposed to go there or not so we start Gathering our stuff all the while JT keeps saying to leave which might sound confusing but on one end of the living room there was a large mirror and if you look at the mirror you can see the back door which is where I was standing Emma turns to leave and in the mirror she sees a black shadow crossed from one side of the living room to me I could feel the Panic so I ran towards the front door so fast I forgot my shoes and as we were leaving we felt the entity from the garage get closer and closer until it was right at the door as we closed it we ran to the park and came across this guy who I'm going to call called Brian we all started talking and actually became good friends and it

45:00

turned out he also had a fair share of paranormal experiences and we basically sat scared in front of the house and talked for hours about our lives and all we've been through and anyway we didn't end up going back into the house until 3:30 in the morning which isn't that like the worst time to go back in that's what we've heard do you have to go back in at all right so we asked Brian to come to the house to check out the energy and keep in mind we didn't tell him anything about the night before because we wanted to see if he was going to feel the same things we did that makes sense we walked in and the first thing he did was point to the hallway leading to the garage and said there's something there I don't know which room but that whole area feels terrible em and I just looked at each other in shock because how did he know so we gave him a rundown of what happened and told him not to taunt it and he said but that's the fun part and we're like M you don't have to live with this so please don't so he did it anyway and sat on the floor just like entered the hallway and stared into it trying to see if he could see anything anything but then his body stiffened Emma and I felt the entity

46:00

come out of the garage toward Brian I kept getting pictures in my head of this figure this figure bent down to see Brian and was face to face with him almost like he thought it was amusing that he was still sitting there trying to stand him up Emma made Brian get up and after he said he was getting so dizzy my dog started acting weird they got up and stared at the hallway one of them sat right at the threshold of the hallway and stared into it while the other came to where I was sitting across the room and sat at my feet so scared I looked up into the hallway and saw a head peeking around the corner but it was not a human head it was the head of a goat with horns what I was seeing this image and I was frozen in fear staring at it as it stared back at me then Emma looks at me and said he just showed himself to me don't freak out but he had the head of a goat oh no to this day I still have not told Emma that that is what I saw too I was just too scared The Entity finally stepped out of the corner to his full form he had the head of a billy goat a long snout and horns that

47:00

wrapped around he was extremely tall and wellb built he was scary as [ __ ] my grandma who's extremely religious and Christian in faith thinks that maybe he chose to appear as a goat because in Christian theology the devil is often depicted as a goat my grandma the day before had told me you just need to pray keep praying bring out Bible verses and do whatever you need to do to protect yourself so I did I took out my little bible app and started reading verses and condemning evil as soon as I read them out loud this goat entity started walking towards me feel like that's what

The demon leads to love

the opposite of what you're hoping is going to happen right let me tell you I love goats I think they're so cute but when a figure with a goat head standing 8 ft tall starts walking towards you it's not something you want to see I agree with that I could feel the anger coming off of this thing I could feel JT behind me and I felt protected I realized that I wasn't scared anymore I was [ __ ] pissed piss off what are you doing in my house without my permission wasting my time and using my favorite

48:00

animal to scare me I got up and read the verses louder backing him into a corner and back into the garage I felt him go into the garage and finally silence I don't know why he backed down he retreated to the garage and didn't come out for the rest of the night maybe he had something else planned and didn't want to waste his energy or maybe he got bored I don't know but part three this entity is the reason I met my husband after this incident I always felt the Goatman in my house but I really didn't have any big interactions like that one ever again yeah just small moments from time to time there was one time where Emma and another friend of ours were doing a tarot reading in the garage and the Goat would appear in the corner of the garage behind some boxes I couldn't see him but I could feel him Emma was listening to a conversation her stepbrother was having with his two friends in his room one day and texted me saying they were talking about supernatural topics Emma told them about our goat demon problem and they were very interested and we arranged a date for them to come over and they made the

49:00

hour and a half drive just to get there I remember the moment like it was yesterday I was sitting in the living room by the front door doing a math test for college I could barely type anything because my hands were shaking in anticipation as we waited for them to get there I wasn't usually like this before meeting people so I took note of it I just had this feeling and I could picture the way they looked in my head I thought to myself they're going to be Cowboys I can see the cowboy hat in my head I knew that one of them was going to be tall and skinny and the other was going to be heavier set sure enough they arrived in cowboy hats cowboy boots all of it they walked in and introduced themselves we'll call my future hubby Ethan and the other one Lucas the first thing he ever said to me was how can you cheat on a math test and still fail LOL he's a smartass I'll tell you how I'll skip through the lovey-dovey details just know that Ethan and I clicked immediately we started talking I told him about all the stuff that was happening we called on the entity to come back to meet the boys but surprise

50:00

surprise he didn't show so we made the impulsive decision to drive to the park by my house where I first met this thing we arrived we were at the center of the gazebo at 12:00 a.m. and we just waited we called after it but nothing we were all talking about what to do when Ethan said hey shh in the distance there was a whistle there was no one else at this park no other car and no person the whistling got louder sounding closer we all standing back to back in the center of the Gazebo each looking at each different pillar and Eva announced that she saw a shadow run between one pillar to the other there was definitely something there when I turned my head back to the pillar in front of me I saw fingers slowly grab the pillar from behind it but not fingers more like Hooves and Claws I shouted what I saw and Ethan told us to leave the Gazebo immediately nothing else happened for the rest of the night but as for me and Ethan after many flirty comments and deep conversations later the rest is history so my love for goats this fear

Podcast conclusion

of a goat demon maybe it brought me my

51:00

husband wow I'm not sure what happened to our goat demon friend but Ethan started coming over every weekend and with his presence around I think the goat figure ended up leaving good Ethan was the protector he was a little added cushion between you and this goat demon and JT the angry father ghost that I had experienced became more of like a protector he felt like a loving father figure after all this negative stuff was resolved which makes me think maybe he was a father in a past life or a traveling Soul who knows thank you for believing and listening to my absolutely insane story and thank you for making me comfortable enough to send it I'm nervous no one will believe this so you are all required to be nice to me cuz I'm scared but you can read it on the podcast just keep it Anonymous thanks for reading I love that you guys love goats as much as I do and despite this being a scary encounter a demonic goat demon brought me my husband wow I do have I mean I would never want to experience this this sounds horrifying

52:00

and the fact that this was experienced with other people present too with Witnesses like you can't really convince yourself that you're just making it up in your own mind because there's so many more people there who are also experiencing the same thing as you but their comment that they made about their grandmother making or just like reminding them that in Christianity that goats are associated with Satan or or like that look I do wonder if these dark entities or satanic entities whatever this evil thing was MH does it always appear like that now because it's like okay what came first the chicken or the egg basically that's a good question yeah did it already look like this then we started writing about it like that or did it get inspiration from the amount of fear the people had in a really large religious population that it decided to show itself like that regardless of religious affiliation to anyone and

53:00

everyone because right if you're going to tell someone most likely someone's going to know that association with oh you saw a ghost that looks like a goat you just probably saw something demonic well maybe we end up CU because we are acknowledging there are a lot of connections maybe we do some research and try to understand where the connection comes from because I don't want goats to have a bad rep and I feel like sometimes they do and they're misunderstood and if you do have encounters like this which my gosh I can't even imagine how terrifying that was I'm so like I don't know anything about like power or like spirituality like this but clearly our listener has the ability to like shut down whatever Darkness this was but I think it would be helpful for us to understand and maybe help our listeners love goats despite the scary aspect yeah I mean I guess it's just it's proof that goat are everywhere right where it's like it's woven into all topics of our lives and

54:00

whether We're Dreaming whether experiencing the Paranormal whether we're just adopting another goat to add to our backyard friends or sometimes indoor friends yeah they're ever present also we fully acknowledge like similar to humans like there's good humans there's bad humans some goats like the billy goats when they're trying to assert their dominance they can be scary so maybe there are just a couple goats who dabbled in the dark yeah well thanks for reading that one I think we should end on this one because it's leaving me inspired to do some more things next week that maybe like dip into parts of the goat world that we haven't really done before and we'll just countless more episodes so we can always read those other goat ones another time okay sounds good well thank you everyone for coming back again you can support us in a variety of ways you can rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you listen to podc you can tell other people about us and we do have
