In 1966, people in the small town of Point Pleasant began reporting something terrifying lurking in the shadows — a massive winged creature with glowing red eyes.

This week, Mom dives into the legend of the Mothman: the first sightings, the panic that spread through town, strange paranormal encounters, and the tragic disaster forever tied to the creature’s name.

Was it a warning? A cryptid? Or just mass hysteria? Over 50 years later, people are still trying to figure out what was really seen in Point Pleasant.
