In 1966, four teenagers in Point Pleasant, West Virginia came face to face with a nightmare — a towering, winged creature with glowing red eyes. For 13 months, the town was plagued by sightings of the Mothman, a cryptid that seemed to stalk residents, terrify drivers, and appear alongside strange UFO activity in the skies.

Then, in December 1967, tragedy struck. The Silver Bridge collapsed, killing 46 people. Ever since, locals have wondered: was the Mothman Prophecy a warning of disaster… or something far darker?

In this episode of Fireside Mysteries, we explore the legend, the evidence, and the theories. Was Mothman a cryptid, an omen of tragedy, or part of a UFO connection the government didn’t want explained? From eyewitness testimony to paranormal investigations, and from skeptics to believers, the case remains one of the most haunting mysteries in American history.

👉 What do you think? Was the Mothman a paranormal warning, an alien visitor, or just a legend born from fear? Share your theory in the comments.
