The Mothman
#1
The Mothman


I'm doing this off the cuff based partly on recollection, but I recall this as being another one of those good video binges although it's been quite a few years for this one.

I suppose it made enough of an impression on someone in Hollywood with enough of a budget to make a movie about it, and it wasn't cheap either. The movie(The Mothman Prophecies) starred Richard Gere and maybe a couple of other well knowns. I think the movie was okay and I'd recommend it. 

This phenomenon occurred in Point Pleasant West Virginia during the years of '66 and '67 regarding a very large bird-like humanoid cryptid. This creature was said to be all black with glowing red eyes, and some were estimating this creature to be around 9' tall. I recall one observer that saw the creature standing beneath a tree branch with little to no clearance which later yielded a fairly accurate measurement of the aforementioned 9'.

The movie title was blazoned due to the prophetic nature of the sightings correlating with disastrous events like the collapse of the Silver Bridge which resulted in the deaths of 46 people, and some also say it was a prelude to the 1999 Russian apartment bombings.

For someone who likes this sort of thing and hasn't seen the movie and blasted through all of the YouTube vids yet like me.
