More than a film or the 12 foot tall, stainless steel sculpture on display in downtown Point Pleasant in West Virginia, Mothman is a strange creature seen in the United States between November 1966 and November 1967, appearing several times in West Virginia, on the border with Ohio. Artist Robert Roach portrayed the creature in his sculpture as people reported the sightings, a man-sized beast with wings and large reflective or luminous red eyes, that scientist tried to associated with owls, but due to the size and characteristics, it is believed that Mothman was a paranormal phenomena, mostly see during the 1966-69 years.

However, some theories associate Mothman with visitors from outer space or a type of Alien never seen before or after his visit. Mothman was first sighted in November 12, 1966, and named after the Batman TV series. The first apparition occurred in a cemetery close to Clendenin, West Virginia while a group of 5 men were preparing a grave. The workers described the being as a "brown human shape with wings" which lifted off from behind nearby trees and flew over their heads. This sighting was kept in secret in the belief it would not occur again, but 3 days later two young married couples from Point Pleasant, were out for a drive and saw two red lights in the shadows of a nearby World War II TNT factory.

After stopping the car, their curiosity led them to see that the lights were the glowing red eyes of a large animal described as "shaped like a man, but bigger, maybe six and a half or seven feet tall, with big wings folded against its back". This time the creature started chasing the couples, who were terrified drove off in their car, heading for Route 62 toward the Mason County courthouse after finding the creature again standing on a ridge near the road. Later it was revealed that a poltergeist attacked one of the couples' home later the same night, after the encounter with Mothman.

Apparitions of Mothman continued in West Virginia during all of November 1966, and after the reports, strangers dressed in black began to appear in the area. Nobody knew who the Mothman, or the men in black were and where they had come from or went, one year later. Some neighbors of West Virginia believe that Mothman was an alien and the men in black were government agents investigating the strange occurrences, but most people are convinced that Mothman was a paranormal being and the mysterious visitors were Catholic priests who went to exorcise the demonic creature.

There is a website that describes this and numerous other creatures of Cryptozoology in detail. The website is called: Unknown Creatures, and may be found at this address:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recommend a good university for studying psychology?
By: MikevanEerden | 27-09-2007
Can you recommend a very good university for getting a PhD in psychology in the United States, preferably within (a state or two of) West Virginia?  I recently completed a career consultation, which identified me as very strongly like those who study psychology.  I had not thought particularly of psychology before, though I am fascinated by studies on subjects like social contagion, family systems, and so on.  I do not know how to begin identifying a good place to study, so I was hoping you might help!  I love to study people,  but I think I also like to help them, and so I would enjoy something with a counseling bent to it -- something that encourages working conversationally with individuals or families or groups.thanks!

Moms comments to her daughter
By: lover454 | 22-09-2007
STORY: Today Sharon (age 52 and skinny) was in a place of worship with her mom (age 81). The pew (row) in back of them was a woman was wearing a necklace (gold chain intertwined with diamonds). When Sharon and her mom turned around to see part of the service to be held in the back of the place of worship Sharon's mom said to Sharon that woman's necklace is pretty. Sharon said mom it is ok all it is just a chain. Her mom said no it isn't there are diamonds. But Sharon said it is just a chain. Her mother replied; I never admire jewelry but her necklace is beautiful. This got Sharon upset because Sharon buys beautiful jewelry at a ninety nine cent store (but the necklaces, bracelets, rings, pins don?t look like they are 99 cents they look like it could have been brought in Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor?s, etc). Then Sharon got mad and yelled (not in a loud voice) at her mother in place of worship. Sharon then said to her mom so you don't like my jewelry. Her mom said your jewelry is beautiful but you cannot compare it to the women?s necklace. Then Sharon said some nasty things outside of the place of worship to her mom (two of which was bit*h and go to h*ll) things to her mom which made her mom angrier. Sharon and her mom left the place of worship and as they were pulling up to the their house her mother said in a nasty voice today you came looking to place of worship like a skeleton, your neck is scrawny, . THEN UP at the house when Sharon dropped the whole thing her mother came into Sharon's room and said in an angry tone you have the nerve to tell me to go to h*ll at place of worship on a holiday. Your neck is scrawny, you have a fat rear end., you fat horse. They fought some more. Sharon then asked her mother about a half hour later when her came back into Sharon?s room to fight some more mom do you really think that about my rear end. Her mom replied in a angry nasty voice that she does because Sharon meant all the nasty things Sharon said to her mom so her mom was not going to change her answers. Sharon called a couple of her friends and asked did my mom mean the nasty things she said about me (rear end) and her friends said no people say nasty things they don?t mean to someone they are fighting with just to hurt them. MY QUESTION: DO YOU AGREE/CONCUR WITH SHARON?S FRIENDS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT SHARON?S MOM SAID TO SHARON.
