  • In the late 1960's, Point Pleasant, West Virginia, was the home of an otherworldly being with huge wings and unsettling, red eyes...Mothman! Sightings of the creature, and stories of alleged encounters were widespread, stories of appearing out of nowhere and vanishing without a trace, scaring locals, and even mass destruction. In no time at all, the cryptid was widely known for its chilling appearance and acts of horror, but everyone wanted to know...just what was Mothman?

    I was first introduced to Mothman in an episode of "Mystery Hunters." There was no way I'd forget about him after that.

    I was wondering when you’d get around to Mothman. Very good video. What I like most about your work is that it doesn’t really ridicule the subject matter and it’s not campy.
    Hope you had a Merry Christmas and I look forward to more videos in the new year.

    Ok, it is a Horned Owl also know as Jersey Devil. It is massive two feat bird. Who is well hidden during the day, to point that many people are not even aware of them in the neighborhood. But they hunt during the night flying low to the ground. Making strange noises. As such many people end coincidentally jumped by strange creature, of which presence they were not aware of. What due to short distance look larger then it is. Then it end overblown by the media, questioning panicked people.
