Status: Historic
Documentation rating: C
Location: Point Pleasant, West Virginia
The Mothman legend began in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia between 1966 and 1967, when multiple witnesses reported encounters with a large winged humanoid featuring glowing red eyes. The sightings became linked in popular culture to the 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge. The case remains one of America's most famous cryptid reports, though both the creature's existence and its alleged connection to the bridge disaster remain unproven.
