The Quran tells us of invisible beings called Jinn that occasionally interact with humans. Belief in Jinn is mostly confined to the muslim world, but nearly every culture on earth has posited the existence of similar beings.

While the “mothman” has become a fixture of paranormal horror since it was adapted to film in 2002, the stories it was based on were actually far stranger than anything portrayed on screen. The wide range of events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 and 1967 remain some of the most perplexing anomalous events in history, and they implore us to consider how they all might be related.
