Олд-Алтон-Бридж , также известный как Мост Козерога , представляет собой исторический мост с железными фермами, соединяющий техасские города Дентон и Медный Каньон . Построенный в 1884 году производственной компанией King Iron Bridge , он первоначально перевозил лошадей, а затем и автомобили через Хикори-Крик в месте, которое когда-то было популярным бродом для переправы скота. Мост получил свое название от заброшенной общины Альтон , которая между 1850 и 1856 годами была резиденцией округа Дентон . ^{[ 2 ]} Этот мост является предметом нескольких о привидениях, историй рассказывающих о мстительном призраке .

Мост Олд-Алтон с интенсивным движением транспорта постоянно использовался до 2001 года, когда движение транспортных средств было перенесено на соседний мост из бетона и стали. До строительства нового моста автомобилистам необходимо было подавать звуковой сигнал перед пересечением однополосного пролета. Новый мост сгладил крутой поворот по обе стороны ручья и обеспечил дополнительные полосы движения.

После прекращения движения транспортных средств мост стал важным связующим звеном, соединяющим Элм-Форк пешеходные и конные тропы и Пилот-Нолл. Сегодня это популярное место среди любителей природы и фотографов. Олд-Олтон-Бридж был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест 8 июля 1988 года.

Locally, the bridge is known as Goatman's Bridge, as it is said to be haunted by a half-man half-goat figure called Goatman.^[3] The belief is based on the legend of a black goat farmer named Oscar Washburn, who was said to have moved his family to a residence just north of the bridge. A few years later, Washburn, having become known as a dependable and honest businessman and dubbed the "Goatman" by locals, displayed a sign on Alton Bridge reading "This way to the Goatman". But the success of a black man was still unwelcome to many, and, in August 1938, Klansmen in the local government crossed the bridge and kidnapped Washburn from his family. They hung a noose on Old Alton Bridge and, after securing it around his neck, threw him over the side. When they looked down to see if he had died, the noose was empty. In a panic, they returned to his family home and slaughtered his wife and children.^[4]

Locals warn that if you cross the bridge at night without headlights (as the Klansmen are said to have done), you will be met on the other side by the Goatman. Ghostly figures and strange lights are said to appear in the surrounding woods, as well as reports of visitors being touched, grabbed, and having rocks thrown at them.

This legend results in the area around Old Alton Bridge being popular among paranormal investigators,^[5] such as the crews from Ghost Adventures and BuzzFeed Unsolved: Supernatural.^[3]
