The Mothman story was born in 1966-1967 when numerous sightings were made of a mysterious man-sized flying creature near Point Pleasant, West Virginia.  The Mothman mystery quickly added a new chapter when, in late 1967,  the Silver Bridge, which connected Point Pleasant to Ohio, collapsed into the Ohio River.  The tragedy killed 46 people and lead many to speculate about a connection between the disaster and the appearance of the Mothman.  So who or what was the Mothman?  That question remains a matter of speculation to this day.   Discover more about the Mothman legend from these online resources.
