In the winter of 1966, something began watching the people of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

It didn’t speak. It didn’t fully appear.
It only waited—on rooftops, in headlights, at the edge of understanding.

In this episode of Classics with Cozy, we step into the layered folklore of the Mothman: the sightings, the uneasy encounters, the strange ripple of reports that followed… and the theories that refuse to settle even decades later. From Men in Black rumors to the unsettling presence of Indrid Cold, this story has a way of expanding the longer you sit with it.

Some stories are told to be understood.
Others are told because they won’t leave.
