|"Mothman", as the strange creature came to be |[pic] |
|called, is perhaps one of the strangest |(Courtesy of Cathy Wilkins) |
|creatures to ever grace the annals of weirdness| |
|in America. Even though this mysterious and | |
|unsolved case has nothing to do with ghosts, it| |
|would be remiss of me to not include it in a | |
|section of the website about the unexplained. | |
|The weird events connected to the Mothman began| |
|on November 12, 1966 near Clendenin, West | |
|Virginia. Five men were in the local cemetery | |
|that day, preparing a grave for a burial, when | |
|something that looked like a "brown human | |
|being" lifted off from some nearby trees and | |
|flew over their heads. The men were baffled. It| |
|did not appear to be a bird, but more like a | |
|man with wings. A few days later, more | |
|sightings would take place, electrifying the | |
|entire region. | |
