Me too, I was born at UT hospital but my parents is down in vonore Sweetwater of maynardville. Yeah you got it I'm adopted. But I truly remember the goat man as a young child we look forward you think it was about two or three you know seasons and then we couldn't find him no more going up and down greenback , Tn.I believe that's was where he was. Then after a while mom must just checked or whatever or maybe it's a newspaper that he had passed away.😊

I was born in Cleveland, TN in 1959. I well remember the excitement of the goatman coming past our home. My mother would hurry to pack some food for him, and we would rush down to the road to meet him and his herd of colorful goats!

As always a great story and well told. I met Goat Man when I was 10 outside Honea Path, SC. He was resting and allowed folks to pet goats and visit. I was somewhat scared of him but now I certainly respect him. He was evidently persecuted for no reason other than a simple ‘different’ life than most and preaching Jesus. A great memory and thank you again for the story.

Awesome story! Only God knows how many people may have been saved by the "Goat Man" shining the light to those he met. We all fall short of the Glory of God, but he certainly seemed to have given it his best shot regarding Jesus' great commission... Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” ... and if anyone is interested in reading the greatest historical account of all times, read or listen to The Gospel of John. Thank you, Appalachian Storyteller, for bringing to us this wonderful account of the "Goat Man"!

Amen! Here's a quick story... Many years ago a man had recently came to his faith in Jesus. Filled with the Joy of the Lord, he gathered together his savings and rented out a local movie theater for a week or two to play "Chariots of Fire" for free to anyone who wanted to watch the movie. At the end of the film, he would call up anyone to the front of the theater who wanted to be saved. To his dismay, no one took the offer. But one man, who was on the fence, did wind up coming to the Lord shortly thereafter. That man wound up planting a Church and several sister Churches were raised to life from his Church. Many years later that man was at a Christian conference as he heard one of the speakers tell his story of renting the movie theater and how in spite of his efforts, no one came to be saved. Needless to say, the man who planted the Church shared his testimony with him. That story always raises goose pimples, just as it is for me as I'm typing this.

I saw him in Rome GA when I was a small child my grandmother took me to the main road it was around 1969 or 70 this story is very true people!!

Thanks so much for sharing that my friend and sharing your memories of them. Have a blessed day.

Fascinating story, very telling how society grew from curious and accepting this exentric man to harassing him . He sure had a full and long life , bless him .

I remember seeing the goat man in Albertville, Al in the mid to late 60's when i was a child. That's in Marshall county where one of the new articles from this video said he was asked to leave by the sheriff. I remember talk about this when he came back through a few years later.

It's amazing how far he traveled! Thanks for sharing this

I remember seeing him in the 1950's at a drive-in theater near Richmond, VA. I also remember there was quite a smell about him & his entourage. My parents took my 2 brothers & myself to see him.

I lived in Jonesboro, Ga. On a farm back in 60’s and early 7o’s.we had a goat man that traveled around with his goats had a long beard he would stay for a few weeks on the land next to my family. Don’t know if it was the same man . But looked like this goat man. Never knew where he came from or where he traveled.

Daddy and mom took me to see the goat man in the mid 1960's. It was at Argo Alabama along US 11. I was about 10 years old.

Great story about a great man, The Goat Man. He was just telling folks about Jesus. Praise God. Thank you JD for telling this beautiful story.❤❤❤
