WOMAN KILLED BY TRAIN SEARCHING FOR THE POPE LICK MONSTER

A woman was struck by a train and killed Saturday night while investigating the urban legend called the “Pope Lick Monster” on a railroad trestle bridge in Louisville, Kentucky. Roquel Bain, 26, was struck by the Norfolk Southern train and fell 80 feet to the ground. Her unidentified boyfriend managed to dangle off the bridge’s edge until the train passed. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman reportedly bought tickets for a guided ghost-hunting tour at the nearby Waverly Hills Sanatorium. They reportedly started the evening searching for the Pope Lick Monster, an urban legend that is supposed to be half-goat, half-man, living in the trestles above the creek. “It’s just so sad – a very pretty young girl who had her life in front of her,” Jack Arnold, the coroner, said. “It’s just so preventable.”
* No, in this case, I don’t think it was.
* Is the Pope Lick Monster like Bigfoot, only with a giant tongue?
* Shouldn’t they be searching in the basement of the Vatican?
* If that railroad trestle wasn’t haunted before, it is now.
* She wanted to go on a ghost-hunting tour – now she’s part of the tour.
* The worst part: Her death was for nothing – the Pope Lick Monster is still at large.
* Half-goat, half man? Doesn’t that go back to Greek and Roman mythology?
* I believe they call it a Satyr. Or at least that’s what Wikipedia thinks.
* Now the whole town is satyr than it was yesterday.
* It’s a terrible accident but that’s how life works: Some mistakes you only get to make once.
