YELLOW-EYED ‘GOATMAN’ Attacked Commuter Bus Near Porto Alegre, Brazil
A commuter bus near Porto Alegre, Brazil was attacked by an unknown humanoid in the later 1980s. The witnesses described it as a naked yellow-eyed Goatman. The media covered the event.
The following account was forwarded to me:
“This happened between 1986 and 1989. My uncles and cousins lived in Lami, an area in the extreme south of Porto Alegre, Brazil.
My uncle, now deceased, had a small “boteco”(Brazilian restaurant). In that region, and at that time, the nearest neighbor was more than a kilometer away. Pasture and centenary trees predominated the landscape. To serve the region, there were two buses in the morning and two more in the early evening.
At that time there were rumors that a very large animal, with the body of a man and the head of an animal, had been seen nearby, and it was said that it attacked both animals and people. Several people claimed to have been attacked by this monster and luckily escaped. Others swore they had lost an ox or two to the creature.
My aunt, very skeptical, and dedicated to her children and day-to-day chores, did not like to pay attention to these “inventions of the people,” as she said. However, one day her disbelief was put to the test.
She and one of my cousins were returning home by bus, already in the dark of night. Less than ten people were on the bus, when in a certain part of the journey, something very large came out of the bush and hit the right side of the bus, and returned to the bush. The crash caused the driver, perhaps out of fright, to lose control and brake sharply, stopping partially in a ditch.
Despite the scare, there were no injuries, but people were very scared by that event. The driver got very irritated, and left the bus mumbling and cursing, going to check the damage and at the same time calling for help. Being in the dark, and still a long way from home, everyone stayed in their places.
A few minutes after the driver left, everyone heard a strange grunt, which could not be from an animal or human being, according to the witnesses. People panicked and started crowding right next to the conductor’s chair.
Silence took over the people. Everyone was attentive to all external sounds when without warning, a new knock was given on the same side of the bus. Everyone got up and ran to the other side. Some of the people began to cry and pray, one lady became out of control, and my aunt, very afraid, remained to protect her son.
At that moment the bus began to be violently shaken as if something or something was shaking the vehicle from side to side. The dread grew as the bus rocked. It looked like it would be overturned at any moment. Looking through the windows, you could see a large figure outside, but you couldn’t tell what it was.
Without the slightest warning everything stopped, and whatever was causing it started to make its way toward the front of the bus, where the door was open. At that moment, my aunt was so terrified that she wanted to die and not see what was attacking them. Even before the creature entered the bus, it was possible to smell a terrible, rotten, unbearable smell.
Everyone fled to the back of the bus and huddled in a corner, which made them look like a single, shapeless mass of people huddled together. Those who had the courage to look, swear to have seen a large naked man, with dark skin, a huge goat’s head, with huge horns, and yellow eyes, who ran to the turnstile and stopped.
He spent a few seconds straining and huffing angrily, before turning around, getting off the bus, and disappearing into the bushes. Unbridled crying took over people. People were in shock, totally terrified.
A few long minutes passed when another bus pulled alongside this one. Another driver, who was called to help the damaged bus, was informed of what had happened and left to find the first driver who had not yet returned. Luckily, he was walking along the side of the road, returning from the place he called the bus company.
The Military Brigade was activated, and ambulances, experts, radio, and television came. The case was covered for a few months, with newspaper articles and interviews with the victims. Search parties searched for the creature’s tracks, but they were never found.
Several theories were formulated about what would have attacked the bus. But nothing is proven. Apart from some dead animals, which were attributed to the creature, nothing else happened.
Nowadays that region is populated and very different from the time when the events occurred, leaving the mystery of the creature that attacked the bus lost and without explanation.” EN

UK weather – Brits brace for commuter chaos as 4ins of snow falls overnight & -10C freeze makes UK colder than Lapland
BRITS are bracing for commuter chaos today as four inches of snow fell overnight.
The white stuff blanketed London and other parts of the country last night, seeing travel warnings scattered throughout.

Brits have already faced days of cancelled flights, delayed trains and backed-up motorways as a result of adverse weather.
And there’s more to come. The Met Office has warned the wintry conditions could cause commuter chaos across rail, road and airways this morning.
Plus, forecasters believe things will only get worse with the mercury set to plunge to -10C in the coming days.
It makes the UK colder than Finland – where temperatures will stay around the -6C mark towards the end of the week. Finland is where Santa Claus’ homeland of Lapland can be found.
Stansted Airport remained closed at midnight last night while machines battled to clear snow from its runways.
And, as a result of the “adverse weather conditions”, all flights had been suspended.
Meanwhile, Brits in the South East were being asked not to travel unless essential due to the heavy snow.
Kent was said to have been hit particularly hard, with the white stuff severely impacting the M2, M20 around junctions 8 and 9, the A21 and A249 and drivers struggling to get through.
Police have also reported an “unusually high number of crashes” as yellow weather warnings remain in place for much of the UK until this morning.
The Met Office have now extended the alerts – and a snow and ice warning will now remain in place until 9am.
They warn that up to 10cm of snow could fall – including in the capital.
Met Office chief meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: “It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10°C or lower in isolated spots.
“Although below average, these temperatures are not that unusual for this time of year.
“There is still a risk we could see some freezing fog in places particularly southern England, especially for Sunday and Monday mornings.
“And there is also a small risk of a band of sleet or snow moving into the far Southeast on Sunday.
“If this happens it could potentially bring some disruption, especially to rush hour on Monday.”
Meanwhile, in Wales yesterday there have been several road traffic collisions along the M4 corridor between Junction 35 to 39 Westbound.
And in Warwickshire cops are dealing with a high number of crashes – with one involving three cars at once.
Police are now asking motorists in the Stratford area to avoid travel unless extremely necessary.
A multi-vehicle crash has also prompted closures on M1 northbound at East Midlands Airport in Manchester.
Meanwhile in Kent icy temperatures have prevented trains from getting electricity and several routes are not running.
Commuters in London and Essex were being warned that snow could disrupt travel.
And at Heathrow Airport several flights to Ireland were cancelled due to foggy and icy conditions.
In Gatwick passengers are experiencing huge delays and cancelations.
The airport warned holidaymakers to check the status of their flight with the airline and to allow extra time to travel to the airport.
It comes after areas of Scotland, south-western England, the Midlands, north-western England and Wales were hit by snow on Saturday.
And more snow has blasted areas today including Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.
Forecasters also said the cold snap is expected to stay through next week, with overnight frosts and daytime temperatures dipping below freezing.
A Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice is in place for much of Scotland until midday today.
Although below average, these temperatures are not that unusual for this time of year.
Steve Willington
Two more snow and ice warnings kicked in today, with much of the Southeast and East of England warned snow will spark travel hell – particularly this morning.
The Met Office warns there is a chance of power cuts and people could potentially be hurt from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
Ellie Wilson, Met Office meteorologist, said: “It’s looking to stay quite chilly through next week with frost overnight and some cold temperatures in the day as well.
“Through Sunday and into Monday, there’s a chance the south east of England could see a little bit more in the way of snow although there’s a little bit of uncertainty there.
“There could also possibly be the odd flurry in the south Midlands – the Bristol/Bath area – but anything settling will likely be above 200-300 metres.”
The UKHSA is advising people to look out for friends and family who are vulnerable in the cold and to ensure they have access to warm food and drinks.
It stressed people should maintain indoor temperatures of at least 18C.
Dr Agostinho Sousa, consultant in public health medicine at UKHSA, said: “Cold weather can have serious consequences for health and older people and those with heart or lung conditions can be particularly at risk.
“If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you should heat your home to a temperature that is comfortable for you.
“In rooms you mostly use such as the living room or bedroom, try to heat them to at least 18C if you can.
“Keep your bedroom windows closed at night. Wearing several layers of clothing will keep you warmer than one thicker layer.”
Darren Clark – severe weather resilience manager at National Highways – said gritters would be out to keep motorways and major A-roads open.
He said: “National Highways is committed to treating every road which needs to be treated – whenever it is needed.”
