  • Flatwoods Monster to Mothman: A West Virginia Cryptid Road Trip | Thursday Thrills
    The Flatwoods Monster and Mothman turn West Virginia folklore into a road trip after dark.

Henrique Couto revisits these reported cryptid encounters, the original witness accounts and the meteor, owl and crane explanations. Explore the TNT Area legend and the 2026 Mothman Festival, scheduled for September 19–20. What did those beams of light really reveal—and why do these monster stories still pull us into the dark?

    Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the 1892 axe murders, yet a notorious nursery rhyme still casts her as the killer.

From the disputed barn alibi and burned dress to the handleless hatchet, follow the clues that fueled suspicion without securing a conviction.
