Need something a little different, strange even, to see and
do in September? How about visiting the
area that made the Mothman famous?
How It Started
The Mothman is said to be a moth like creature seen in and
around the area of Point Pleasant ,
West Virginia
The first reported sighting was on November 12, 1966 by five
men digging a grave at a cemetery near Clendenin ,
WV
Three days later, on November 15, 1966 two young couples
from Point Pleasant told police they saw a large white creature whose eyes
glowed red when the car headlights shined on it. The couples, visually shaken, described it as a large flying man like thing
with approximately 10 foot wings
following their car while driving in the TNT area. The TNT area is the site of the former World
War ll munitions plant.
