The name mothman was the name given to a creature sighted many times in West Virginia in the areas of Point Pleasant and Charleston between 1966 and 1967. It as also had sparodic sightings before and after those dates. The mothman is described as human sized creature which as large wings and reflective red eyes. From the description given it seem that the first reported sighting from this creature was in November 1966 when a group of five men were digging a grave in Clemdenin and the creature flew over them from nearby trees. This was not made public till later. The first media report happened to two married couples in the same month a few days later, they were out driving and saw two large red lights in a shadow of a generator at a old factory, on closer inspection they realised the glowing lights were in fact the eyes from this creature.
There are many theories as to whether the mothman exists,some which include, John Keele who wrote a book in 1975 called The Mothman Prophecies who writes all about the mothman and as lots of first hand accounts, he claims the sightings could be attributed to a time when there were lots of parapsychological events happening around the area including UFO's and Bigfoot and Loren Coleman who is a researcher of the mothman who puts it to a more down to earth reasoning of that it may of been a large owl or another flying cryptid.
There continues to be some today and many people still bellieve that the mothman really does exist.
