The only known backstories about the Goatman is on the bulletin board that the player has in their tower room. It reveals that the Goatman has claimed 4 hikers that were lost in the night, and multiple sightings of the goatman watching his victims on trees. The local officers dismissed them as bear sightings.
If the theory that there is there is no hiker and the player has been speaking to the Goatman the entire game is true, this could be the Goatman only being able to mimic voices temporarily and hurts to do so or the Goatman is attempting to trick the player into thinking the hiker is dead.
Although it cannot be seen, the only way the Goatman can show its speed is when once the hiker reaches the second tower, after flashing the breaker light to reveal themselves, the hiker claims that the Goatman has stopped chasing him and thanks the player.
However, the Goatman being the lost hiker is theoretical. The Goatman is based on an urban legend of the same name. If the player takes too long to respond to the lost hiker, the Goatman will let out a loud inhuman scream and kill the hiker off screen, ending the game.
