Ohio Folklore

Birdman of Appalachia (aka Mothman)


Listen Later

The legend of the Mothman stands unique among Ohio’s folktales.  It’s a shared piece of lore with neighboring West Virginia.  The story has drawn thousands, literally.  Every year, hordes of tourists descend on this rural spot along the Ohio River.  They pay homage to the winged beast, known to all as a harbinger of doom.

 

Most of us think we know the story.  Perhaps we’ve read the book, or seen the movie.  Turns out, we don’t know the half of it.

 

Come hear the tale from a local himself, retired private investigator, Mr. Eddie Jenkins.  Come learn the truth of this centuries old legend that began long before falling bridges.  

 

It seems there’s been something mysterious in the skies above Appalachia for a very long time, indeed.
