Halloween is here...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve scoured the misty shores of Loch Ness, tracked elusive footprints through Pacific Northwest forests, and followed blood-curdling tales from the deserts of the Americas. From Nessie to Bigfoot to the Chupacabra, we’ve crossed continents chasing the creatures that stalk our imaginations.

But tonight… tonight, we’ve saved the strangest for last.

This story isn’t just a legend—it’s a warning. One whispered through radio static, etched into weathered newspaper clippings, and passed down by those who swore they saw something they couldn’t explain.

It’s a tale of glowing red eyes in the dark… of prophetic nightmares… of a town haunted not by a ghost, but by something else—something winged, silent, and watching.

You’re going to need your torch and your courage, as we’re heading deep into the fog-shrouded valleys of West Virginia, in search of the Mothman… and a whole host of other cryptids lurking there.
