On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant told police they had seen a large black creature whose eyes "glowed red", standing at the side of the road near the site of a former WW2 munitions plant. One of the women described it as a 'slender, muscular man' about seven feet tall with white wings. However, she was unable to discern its face due to the hypnotic effect of its eyes. Distressed, the witnesses sped away, reporting that the creature flew after their car, making a screeching sound. It pursued them as far as Point Pleasant city limit.
Mothman has become one of the most iconic of the Cryptids. An Omen of doom and disaster, but so bloody cute!
