The Legend of Mothman

Mothman is one of America’s most enduring cryptids — first sighted in the quiet town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in November 1966. Witnesses described a towering, winged humanoid, standing over seven feet tall with massive, bat-like wings and piercing red eyes that glowed in the darkness. 

​

Many claimed Mothman’s appearance had been an omen—a supernatural warning of impending tragedy. Since then, he’s been called both a harbinger of doom and a guardian spirit, appearing before disasters or moments of great turmoil, his intentions forever unclear.

​

Over the decades, Mothman’s myth has grown far beyond Point Pleasant. Sightings have been reported across Appalachia and beyond—from the mountain hollers of Kentucky to the industrial outskirts of Chicago—each encounter steeped in the same uneasy mix of fear and awe. He has become a symbol of mystery, folklore, and the thin line between belief and the unknown.

​

Some say he’s a watcher, others a warning—but all agree on one thing: he isn’t from around here. And now? He’s in your home (or shop)... if you dare.
