About this book

About this Cryptids mythology guide

A winged shape with red eyes, thirteen months of terror, and then a bridge fell. The complete story of the Mothman of Point Pleasant.

For thirteen months in the late 1960s, the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, was haunted by a creature nobody could explain: a tall, winged figure with glowing red eyes that chased cars down dark roads and vanished into the night. Then the bridge fell, and the Mothman passed into legend.

This is the complete story of the Mothman. The first sightings near an abandoned munitions site in November 1966; the wave of encounters that gripped the town; the strange lights, the odd visitors and the atmosphere of dread that settled over Point Pleasant; the collapse of the Silver Bridge in December 1967 that killed forty-six people; and the way one writer's book turned a local panic into one of America's most enduring mysteries.

The book follows the case through the newspaper record and the eyewitness accounts, separating what was reported at the time from what the legend added later. Every case cites its sources.

Delivered as a print-quality PDF within 24 hours of purchase.
