Creature Feature: Mothman

from Autumn's Oddities Hosted by Autumn Grube

What makes for a good modern myth? Is it something that seems to permeate pop culture and the minds of conspiracy theorists alike, but can’t be proven or disproven? Something that defies explanation yet so many attempt to explain it anyway? The red-eyed, winged, bipedal, humanoid, bird creature known as the Mothman has intrigued the public for decades and his legend only continues to grow.
