Cryptids—creatures whose existence is unsubstantiated, like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster—are found in folklore throughout the United States and the world. Mothman is a bipedal, humanoid, mothlike creature with glowing eyes who is said to descended upon Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966.  The creature’s debut ruffled the town’s feathers, making for an unsure headline the next day in the  Point Pleasant Registry : “Couples See Man-Sized Bird...Creature...Something.” Read more about this popular West Virginia cryptid at this link.
