Ep. 182: Mothman, Pt. 1 - Daddy Magneto

This week, #HotMothSummer continues as we finally reach the story we've been building up to: the strange tale of the Mothman, a maybe-cryptid maybe-alien that descended upon the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 to freak out the locals and eventually nab himself his own festival, museum, and of course, a particularly bootylicious statue. We begin this bizarre story with sightings of odd man-bird-creatures across the centuries in America, leading up to the major late-60s flying-man-flap that also involves UFOs, the Men in Black, and one weird guy who goes by the name of Indrid Cold. Stay tuned for next week, when we get into the shady characters that flooded the town of Point Pleasant after the famous initial Mothman sighting, all leading to the greatest tragedy in the small burg's history one year later - and one of America's most devastating and deadly bridge collapses to this day. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
