The report
From November 1966 to December 1967, residents of Point Pleasant reported sightings of a large, winged creature with glowing red eyes, dubbed the 'Mothman.' The sightings culminated in the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in December 1967, leading to speculation about a connection. The legend has since become a part of local folklore, inspiring books and a museum.
