This week we flap our way into one of America’s creepiest urban legends: the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Was it a giant bird, a government experiment gone wrong, or a harbinger of doom? Between glowing red eyes, collapsed bridges, and small-town hysteria, this one’s got it all.
We cover the original 1966 sightings, the chaos that followed, and how Mothman went from local terror to pop culture icon. Naturally, we also wander off into nonsense, bad accents, and at least one AI tangent we probably should’ve cut but didn’t.
If you’re into cryptids, curses, urban legends, and two idiots laughing their way through paranormal chaos, you’ll feel right at home.
