What is the Mothman? Is it a Cryptid or Something Else?

The Mothman is by far one of the most famous cryptids out there, but is it even a cryptid? Is it a ghost? Is it an alien? What the heck is it?! No matter what the Mothman is, one thing is for sure, it is creepy.

"I'm sure that a lot of you guys have heard of the Mothman or have seen the movie The Mothman Prophecies starring Richard Gere, but did you know that the first sighting of the Mothman was reported by five men who were digging a grave? It's true; on November 12th 1966 in Clendenin, West Virginia the men were digging a grave and as they finished they saw a man-like figure standing in the trees. The man flew across the cemetery and supposedly had glowing red eyes.

The Mothman sightings continued, especially in the area of Point Pleasant, West Virginia here is an excerpt from Kizaz.com :

"Throughout the 1960s, the town of Point Pleasant in West Virginia was terrorised by numerous sightings of the “Mothman”, a tall human-like figure with wings that dragged behind it on the ground and with the apparent ability to fly. These apparitions culminated in the Silver Bridge disaster of 1967, when a bridge bearing 37 vehicles collapsed. 46 people died from the incident, as well as the Mothman himself apparently. Since that date, the sightings petered out. Whilst many have been quick to dismiss the creature as myth, the proliferation of sightings from credible sources means there may be more to the story than meets the eye. The good people of Point Pleasant have also rather bizarrely decided to reward the Mothman’s contributions to the society with his very own shiny statue! Thanks for the memories, Mothman!""
