Mothman

Mothman is a legendary creature from West Virginia folklore, described as a tall, humanoid figure with large, glowing red eyes and expansive wings resembling those of a moth or bird. Sightings often report an uncanny, intimidating presence and unexplained phenomena occurring nearby. The most famous sighting happened in 1966-1967, coinciding with the collapse of the Silver Bridge, leading some to believe Mothman is a harbinger of disaster. While numerous theories exist—ranging from misidentified animals to supernatural entities—no scientific evidence confirms its existence, and it remains a prominent figure in American urban legend and paranormal lore.
