THE LEGEND OF the MOTHMAN

Mulderandscully · 06-08-2009, 01:04 PM

The state of West Virginia has played home to one of the most bizarre "pseudo-cryptids" ever reported, the unusual - but by no means, unique - Mothman.

The first sighting came in the early 1960s. A woman was driving along Route 2, near the Ohio River, with her father. As she neared the Chief Cornstalk Hunting Grounds, a large man-shaped figure walked out onto the road. As the woman slowed her car, the figure spread two large wings and took off. Ironically, the witness did not report the incident - "Who would believe us, anyway?"

I read the book "The Mothman Prophecies" when I was younger at night. The story scared the hell out of me (and still does).
