The Legend Of Point Pleasant In The 1960's

The 1960’s was a disturbed time for the people of Point Pleasant, as a formidable creature haunted the county. The beast was often then considered as a sign something chaotic was about to happen, as many disasters were followed by his witnesses. As this was such a popular conspiracy at the time, it might be useful to know exactly what this petrifying creature was. The people of Point Pleasant would call him Mothman, which he is still a popular legend today.

From 1966, to 1967, there were eye-witness were accounts who claimed to have seen mothman. The majority of witnesses saw the creature when driving down a secluded back road, usually during the night, frightening the bypassers of the road. The mutilated creature was described as a seven-foot

Their eyes would burn from the blinding, red eyes, and their ears would hurt from its ear piercing screech. Some people even went insane after seeing him. The witnesses would say they would be driving down the road, and would be blocked by a moth-resembling creature, and would catch the glare of his red eyes in their headlights. He would then shriek and would then either run off, even sometimes jump on their car and fly away into the distance.

While most reports of mothman sightings would be set on a lonesome back road, the very first sighting was near a graveyard. On November 12, 1966, five gravediggers were working in a graveyard when they noticed what they described as a flying man. The second sighting was just days later when two couples caught the giant moth in their headlights. Witnesses would say it was something like a monster from a movie you had never seen.

There has also been times where witnesses would see the mothman near their house. The witnesses claimed to have spotted him in their backyards, and even a man’s barn. When the man discovered mothman in his barn, he even noticed his satellite dish had been tampered with, which showed signs the mothman could fly. This was very odd to many people of Point Pleasant because if the mothman was a creature with a purpose, it would be peculiar that someone dressed up in a costume on purpose would leisure around someone’s barn or in people’s

The bridge collapsed, and took several people’s lives. The collapse was during rush hour, killing forty-six people specifically in total. Most everyone believed the Mothman blew up the bridge, then flew away. There were also several pictures of mothman attending the scene, then disappearing.

While the majority of people believe Mothman was a sign of bad luck, there were some people who believed Mothman was here to warn people. They believe the creature was sent to warn people about the upcoming disasters or tell if something bad had already happened. There is really no proof to believe that Mothman was there to warn people, and it would seem odd that he would be their at the scene of a bridge blowing up. No one would have known or would bother to just sit on top of the bride that would soon collapse.

Mothman was, and is today, considered a haunting creature of the 1960’s. People would always live in fear of him and could never really explain who or what it was. A safe assumption of mothman would be to say he was always there when something bad happened. While there was many theories of the mothman, we can never really be sure of the purpose of
