Backwoods Bigfoot Stories

BWBS Ep:117 The Mothman of Point Pleasant


Listen Later

In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we take a detour from the deep woods and follow a trail of glowing red eyes straight into the heart of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Between 1966 and 1967, something strange haunted the skies and backroads of this small town—something that defied logic and terrified everyone who laid eyes on it.

They called it the Mothman.Described as a towering figure with massive wings and burning red eyes, this creature was more than just a strange sighting. For some, it was a warning. For others, it was a curse. And when the Silver Bridge collapsed in December of 1967, killing 46 people, many believed the Mothman had foretold the disaster—or even caused it.

In this episode, we explore the origins of the Mothman legend, revisit the chilling eyewitness encounters that made headlines, and look at how fear, folklore, and tragedy fused into one of America’s most iconic cryptid mysteries. We also unpack the theories—ranging from secret government experiments to interdimensional visitors—and talk about how a small Appalachian town turned its nightmare into a lasting legend.

Whether you think the Mothman is a paranormal prophet, a misunderstood creature, or just a case of mass hysteria, one thing’s for sure—once you hear the stories, you’ll never look at a dark country road the same way again.
