The Mothman of Point Pleasant

November 15, 1966· TNT area (McClintic Wildlife Management Area), near Point Pleasant, Mason County, West Virginia· United States

November 15, 1966. Close to midnight. Two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia, were in the TNT area, an old wartime munitions works north of town. Near the old power plant, they saw something. It was shaped like a man, six or seven feet tall, with wings. Its red eyes were six inches apart. They drove away fast. It followed, gliding over their car at about 100 miles an hour.
