Spooky Appalachia

This week, we have a story that was sent to us by The Mothman Museum, of you guessed it, a Mothman sighting!

Thursday the 2nd Nov. 2006, my son and I were heading to Ravenswood (not too far from Point Pleasant).

It was just before 5 PM and it was starting to become dusk. On my side of the road, I saw an extremely tall human-like figure literally jump/float straight up from the ground to the top of the trees. There are no houses near there, just trees and some empty land behind. I felt no fear, just a feeling of “Wow, what the hell was that thing?” I mentioned it to my son a couple of minuteslater when we neared town but did not tell him exactly where I had seen it. He told me he had seen it as well, but we both had stayed silent because of some other weird things that had been happening lately at our home...we were spooked enough as it was.

I had not stopped to turn around because I was in a hurry to get somewhere before a certain time. On our way home, maybe 75-100 ft further down the road from the original site, both my son and I saw the figure again. He was moving upward in the branches of the trees. Yesterday (Friday Nov 3 2006) right before dark, my son saw it again, outside near a small patch of woods. My son noted red eyes during this second sighting.

After some research, I knew what we had seen was Mothman!

Big thanks to The Mothman Museum for sending this over and allowing us to use the story!
