In 1966, residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia claimed to see a tall, winged creature with red, glowing eyes. Thus, the legend of Mothman was born. Sightings continued for just over a year before a tragic accident, leading many people to believe the reason for the monstrous being’s presence was born out of a centuries-old curse that plagued the area.
