In this episode of Strangeology, we revisit the original 1966-1967 Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia - from the red glowing eyes near the TNT Area to the events leading up to the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge.

We break down eyewitness testimony, reported UFO activity, unsettling Men in Black encounters, and the deeper patterns many overlook in the Mothman case.

Was it mass hysteria? A misidentified owl? A harbinger of disaster? Or something far stranger?
The Mothman phenomenon remains one of the most enduring mysteries in American folklore - and when you look closer, the story becomes even more disturbing.
