Episode notes

Point Pleasant, West Virginia. 1966.

Something with wings, glowing red eyes, and a flair for the dramatic started terrorizing locals--and just might have predicted a major tragedy. But was Mothman a warning? A menace? A misunderstood cryptid trying to mind his mothy business?

This week, we're trading unsolved disappearances for winged weirdness, diving deep(ish) into the legend of Mothman. We'll cover the original sightings, the bridge collapse, the Men in Black (yes, those ones), and the lasting cultural impact of a creature who just might be the world's most ominous influencer.

Spoiler alert: there's a Mothman statue (with killer abs), a festival, and possibly a government cover-up.
