Legend Of Mothman 

The legend of the Mothman begins in the sleepy town of  Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which has been troubled for years by eerie sightings of a “six to seven foot tall man-shaped creature with wings” since 1964. The 1st official recorded sighting of the Mothman was by a woman and her dad driving down Route 2 near the Ohio River when a man-shaped creature with blood-red eyes jumped onto the road in front of them, spread out his 2 colossal wings and then flew away.

The mothman legend even grew stronger when one account has over a hundred sightings of The Mothman along with flying saucers (UFOs) and other out of the ordinary occurrences happening just prior to the tragic collapse of The Silver Bridge near Point Pleasant on December 15, 1967. 

Mothman in reality has nothing to do with actually moths. Once an individual encounters a Mothman, all he/she typically ascertains is a blackened figure with wings and large blood-red eyes.
