Goatman

Often, the scariest monster is not an obvious, predatory creature, but a timid and opportunistic one that scuttles away into the night, never to be seen again. The latter is often the case with the goatman, a creature only seen out of the corners of one's eye. Fuzzy, blurry, and with a pair of horns, he is often sighted in the woods southeast of Washington, in Maryland.

* Is lonely but timid, likes watching people but dislikes being watched
* Usually afraid of being seen, and are effective and "skedaddling into the woods" with great haste
* The fey theory still remains--are they attempts at engineering a half-fey through science?
** Fey powers could explain their ease of movement and ability to hide so effectively
== Longevity ==
As the legends of the goatmen have survived for decades, it's possible these anomalies are either very long-lived or have a reproducing population.
== The Fey Connection ==
If science was to bind with the spirits of old, who's to say some poor half-spirit soul isn't wandering lonely parking lots, gathering energy from people but needing to physically lurk around to do so...proposal by Cherrio
