210 | The Mothman: Legends, Lore & First Hand Horror Stories

Shoutout to TFD OG and the Meme Tsar of our Facebook Group, Jose, for suggesting we dive into some cryptid episodes! Join the FB group (linked below) and suggest future episodes for us to cover!

This week we're diving into one of the most popular, and mysterious cases of all time when it comes to paranormal phenomena, and the unexplained: The Mothman. Most known for a series of sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, but sightings of this creature have been reported much further back, and countless times since the collapse of the Silver Bridge.

Christian takes us on a tour of some of the legends and lore surrounding this elusive entity, and follows it up with some truly unique first hand accounts and sightings of the Mothman. What are your thoughts on Mothman? Harbinger of doom, ultraterrestrial entity, demon, or something else? Sound off in the comments below!
