POPE LICK MONSTER

Day 25: Tempting

~~•~~

The Pope Lick Monster is a cryptid reported to live beneath the Pope Lick Train Trestle in Louisville, Kentucky. Some accounts state that the creature uses hypnosis to lure its victims onto the trestle.

Note: A common misconception is that the Pope Lick Trestle is abandoned. In actuality, it is connected to one of Louisville’s most used railways and as many as 25 heavy freight trains cross it daily. Walking along this trestle puts you at risk of either getting hit by a train or falling off its 90-foot drop. I don’t love being super serious but this trestle has claimed over a dozen lives so I feel this needs to be said: DO NOT GO SEEKING THE POPE LICK MONSTER, IT WILL PUT YOU IN SERIOUS DANGER.
