The Mothman

The Mothman is a legendary creature that was reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from November 15, 1966, to December 15, 1967. The creature is described as being a humanoid with enormous, moth-like wings and glowing red eyes. He is said to be a warning of an oncoming disaster or catastrophic event.

The first reported sighting of the Mothman was by two young couples who were driving near Point Pleasant on November 15, 1966. The couples reported seeing a large, winged creature standing in the middle of the road. The creature had glowing red eyes and was described as being about 7 feet tall.

After the first sighting, there were many other reports of the Mothman being seen in the Point Pleasant area. Some people reported seeing the creature flying, while others reported seeing it standing on the ground. The creature was often seen near the Ohio River, and some people believe that it lived in the abandoned TNT Plant located near Point Pleasant.

The Mothman sightings stopped in December 1967, after the Silver Bridge, which connected Point Pleasant to Gallipolis, Ohio, collapsed. 46 people died in the collapse. Some people believe that the Mothman was a harbinger of the bridge collapse, while others believe that the sightings were simply a coincidence.
