Angel's of Death are a type of criminal offender, often a type of serial killer, who is usually employed as a caregiver and intentionally harms or kills people under their care. They are often in a position of power and may decide the victim would be better off if they no longer suffered from whatever severe illness is plaguing them. This person then uses their knowledge to kill the victim. Donald Harvey was an Angel of Death operating in Kentucky and Ohio throughout the 70's and 80's.

November 12, 1966: It's a quiet night near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and working in a cemetery nearby in Clendenin are some gravediggers, doing as gravediggers do: digging a grave. The men are silently working when a shadowy figure catches their eye. A man-like creature is said to have flown over top of the men flying into some trees beyond the way. The men found it strange, but couldn't quite come up with an explanation themselves. Only three days later, a similar sighting is reported. On Nov. 15, 1966, two young couples were riding along together in a car in the evening. As they're driving near the TNT area in Point Pleasant, the site of a former WWII weapons plant when suddenly, they found themselves staring at a large grey creature with glowing red eyes as their headlights shone onto it. According to the couples, the creature was about six to seven feet tall and had wings that spanned 10 feet. Steve Mallette, one of the men in the car, went on to tell the Point Pleasant Register, “It was like a man with wings…it wasn't like anything you'd see on TV or in a monster movie…” This would be the first published sighting of what we now know… as Mothman.
