Halloween #23: The Mothman
Oct. 23rd, 2017 03:41 pmToday’s oddity is the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. There is no shortage of Mothman info so I am going to pick and choose through it to give you an idea of the Mothman legend. ‘
Here is the story from Unexplained America
The weird events connected to the Mothman began on November 12, 1966 near Clendenin, West Virginia. Five men were in the local cemetery that day, preparing a grave for a burial, when something that looked like a “brown human being” lifted off from some nearby trees and flew over their heads. The men were baffled. It did not appear to be a bird, but more like a man with wings. A few days later, more sightings would take place, electrifying the entire region.
( ”The )
But that is just the story.
There is a book written by believer John Keel The Mothman Prophecies and a movie The Mothman Prophecies starring Richard Gere.
There is a Mothman Festival the third weekend in September every year that attracts fans from all over and covers all sort of supernatural phenomenon.
And of course, The Mothman Museumis in Point Pleasant, WV.
Here is the 20 foot tall Mothman statue!
In 2016, after many years unseen, someone snapped this photo of what they believe to be the Mothman flying again.
