YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn November 1966, two couples driving past an abandoned munitions plant outside Point Pleasant, West Virginia came face to face with something they couldn't explain: a towering, winged figure with glowing red eyes that chased their car down the road at 100 miles per hour. It was the first reported sighting of what locals would come to call the Mothman.
Over the next 13 months, hundreds of residents reported encounters with the creature. UFOs lit up the sky above town. Witnesses were harassed by strange men in black cars. And then, as suddenly as it all started, the sightings stopped. Weeks later, the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River, killing 46 people, just as several residents had been dreaming it would.
In this episode, Vanessa Richardson breaks down the sightings, the strange activity surrounding them, and the theory that the Mothman wasn't a monster at all, but a warning that nobody heeded in time.
