In the shadowy corners of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, a creature with glowing red eyes and massive wings sparked terror, fascination, and speculation. But Mothman didn’t disappear with the Silver Bridge collapse, in fact, the sightings have never stopped.
Explore the eerie origins of one of America’s most enduring legends. In this riveting premiere presentation, Lon Strickler, renowned paranormal researcher, teams up with local historian Rissa Miller to explore the chilling lore of Mothman — from its first sightings to encounters across the country, including PA and MD.
Eyewitness accounts, symbolic patterns, and cultural theories surrounding the red-eyed, winged figure will be revealed, as well as even older stories of similar things with wings. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or deep inside the cryptid community, expect a journey of mystery, insight, and spine-tingling revelation.
