A bonus episode arrives ahead of the Season 8 finale, which heads into eastern England's A1075 for years of reported beast sightings there. It got us thinking that cryptids aren't just a British story, so this one leaves the UK behind for one of the best documented cryptid cases anywhere: The Mothman of Point Pleasant.Four young people described it first, on a freezing night in November 1966: six or seven feet tall, grey, wings folded against its back, and eyes that didn't reflect the light but burned. It made the front page of their local paper by the next morning, and what followed over the next year ended in tragedy, inspired a Hollywood film, and left a small town on the Ohio River with a legend it's never shaken.Two young couples driving past an abandoned wartime munitions site watched the creature rise vertically off the ground and keep pace above their car at over a hundred miles an hour. Within two days, two more separate groups nearby described the same grey, winged, red eyed figure, including one that followed a young mother onto her porch. A local reporter took five hundred phone calls in a single weekend, and thirteen months later, tragedy struck the town in a way nobody has ever fully explained.The episode follows the sightings, the writer whose own life turned strange while chasing the story, and the folklore, including the legends wrongly attached to Chernobyl, that grew up around Point Pleasant afterwards. A bonus episode to hold you over before Season 8's last case drops. Listen now.Enjoyed the episode? Subscribe, leave us a rating, and drop a review. It really helps the show reach more listeners.

A listener dreams that Mothman shows up at her patio door—and refuses to let him inside because of his dust. Aerial arts may have accidentally cured another Freak's lifelong motion sickness. And a woman dreams of playing with her late grandfather in an old hot rod, only to discover it may be a memory from infancy—and that her father dreamed about him on the very same night. Plus, the modern medical condition still treated with bloodletting, a breathtaking encounter in Norway, and a desperate plea for the return of “What You Got for Me?” It's another strange, funny, and unexpectedly moving journey through the Inbox of Oddities.

Shortly after midnight on the morning of Tuesday the 15th of November 1966, in the small Ohio River town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the county of Mason, two young married couples in a black 1957 Chevrolet drove out along State Route 62 to see what there was to see at the abandoned munitions plant seven miles north of town. The plant had been decommissioned since the end of the Second World War. It was known, to everyone in Mason County, as the TNT Area. It consisted of several hundred acres of overgrown vegetation, crumbling concrete storage bunkers, and an abandoned power plant building. The four young people in the car were Roger Scarberry and his wife Linda, and Steve Mallette and his wife Mary. Roger was driving. It was a Monday night rolling over into a Tuesday morning. They had been out. On the drive back into town, they had decided to take the long way home, past the TNT Area. As they approached the abandoned power plant building at approximately five minutes past midnight, their headlights fell on what appeared to be two red points of light standing beside the road. Roger slowed the car. The four of them looked out through the windscreen. The two red points of light, they realised as they got closer, were not lights. They were eyes. The eyes belonged to a figure that was standing perfectly still at the side of the road, watching them. The figure was, in Roger Scarberry's later description to police, shaped like a man, but bigger. Approximately six or seven feet tall. It was covered in a dark grey substance that might have been feathers, or might have been skin, or might have been something else entirely. Behind its back, folded, were what appeared to be a pair of very large wings. For a moment, the four young people in the car sat and looked at it. Then the figure moved. The story of the 13 months that followed, in which more than 100 people across Mason County reported sightings of the same creature. Of the extraordinary investigation conducted by American paranormal researcher John Keel. Of the disturbing dreams that spread through Point Pleasant in the autumn of 1967. And of the terrible event that occurred, in the darkness of the early evening of Friday the 15th of December 1967, exactly 13 months and one day after the first sighting, that killed 46 people and, in a strange coincidence that has never been explained, ended the Mothman sightings entirely.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Dressed like a 17th-century priest and armed with a library of ancient texts, Montague Summers devoted his life to proving that witches, vampires, and werewolves weren't just folklore — they were terrifyingly real.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/montaguesummersREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/montague20260803FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Can a priest believe in witches, werewolves, and vampires? The answer is yes – and his name was Montague Summers. Was he a kook, or was he seeing the truth that others ignored? (Montague Summers Believed in Monsters) *** He smiled without speaking, appeared alongside UFOs, and promised to return – who, or what, was the mysterious Indrid Cold? (The Grinning Man – The Legend of Indrid Cold) *** Somewhere out there, another version of you made a different choice – that's the multiverse theory. And the key to proving it could lie in changing someone else's history. (Visiting Our Neighbors in a Parallel Universe) *** Anatoli Bugorski accidentally stuck his head in the world's most powerful particle accelerator in 1978; he saw a flash brighter than a thousand suns, and somehow lived to tell about it. (The Man Who Survived An Atomic Blast Through His Skull) *** In 1971, a massive glowing sphere hovered silently over a U.S. Navy carrier — and for twenty minutes, the entire ship went dark. (Code Black: The USS Kennedy UFO Incident) *** She was a Houston socialite raised like royalty, but Joan Robinson Hill's glittering life came to a mysterious end – followed by affairs, secret autopsies, a sensational trial, and a murder that still raises more questions than answers. (Murder in Texas: The Strange Death of Joan Robinson Hill) *** Imagine calling 911 because a perfectly healthy and alive loved one insists they're dead – and wants to be taken to the morgue to join the other corpses! (Walking Dead: The Syndrome That Makes You Think You Are Deceased) *** Locals whisper about witches and shadows at Blood's Point Cemetery, but the real horror lies in a forgotten tragedy no ghost story could match.

Your eyes catch one thin band of the spectrum and the rest of reality is in the room with you unread. Keel decided that was not about light. It was about everything. Nobody ever visited us because there was nowhere else for them to be, and the reason we only get glimpses is that showing up here costs energy, so the thing would rather edit your perception than build you a ship.Then it gets dark, because Keel got dark. Belief is the vulnerability. The moment you commit to a frame you have told it exactly what to wear.
The Hallow (2015), The Ritual (2017), and Antlers (2021) Cryptids occupy a couple of different categories in modern life. One of them is fun, if a bit kitschy and silly: think concrete bigfoot statues sitting in whimsical gardens or funny little Mothman plaques hanging on the wall. But another is truly terrifying, buried down deep below the surface of our culture and our geography, a place where most people refuse to even touch the soil, much less dig. On this episode, we are going to dig deeply into those terrifying cryptid myths and uncover some wonderful horror films. Because in the last decade or so, a handful of filmmakers have chosen to put spade to soil and go deeply into that taboo territory and yielded some wonderfully horrific results. Films mentioned in this episode: Antlers (2021), The Blair Witch Project (1999), Bugonia (2025), Cocaine Bear (2023), District 9 (2009), Frankenstein (2025), The Hallow (2015), Hellraiser (2022), The Irishman (2019), The Mothman Prophecies (2002), The Nun (2018), The Omen (1976), The Ritual (2017), Scars of Dracula (1970), Shaun of the Dead (2004), The Signal (2007), Southbound (2015), Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Weapons (2025), Whistle (2025)
What if dragons, fairies, Bigfoot, and other legendary creatures have more truth behind them than we've been led to believe?In this conversation, Jessie Czebotar expands on dragons and fairies as we discuss Bigfoot, Dogman, Mothman, Sasquatch, Skinwalker Ranch, cryptids, shape-shifting, familiar spirits, dreams, angels, demonic entities, and spiritual warfare. Jessie shares why she believes many ancient legends and modern paranormal encounters may point to a much larger spiritual reality.As always, listen with an open mind, search the Scriptures, do your own research, and come to your own conclusions.Connect with Jessie Czebotar:https://www.kingdomlivingwithjessie.comhttps://www.illuminatethedarkness.com • https://www.patreon.com/cw/JessieCzebotarBUY A COFFEE LINK Support the Show & Stay Connected:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/sensiblehippieJoin My Patreon for ad-free episodes & exclusive content: https://Patreon.com/WakeupwithMiyaIf you're joining Waiola – The Plus Side, please subscribe through a web browser (Safari or Chrome) instead of the Patreon app — it directly supports the show.Mahalo nui loa for supporting independent work and helping keep this platform growing.Shop my Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/profile/amzn1.account.AGYOPCXXGH6MN5RVAKGQWVZUZLEA/list/26B87RB4FZ9W2?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_6BWRT43TH4MY2NM2XD6XWant to be on the show or suggest a guest?

Schon oft haben wir uns bei HOAXILLA den Geschichten aus den Appalachen gewidmet. Mothman, die Bell Witch oder auch die Skinwalker seien als Beispiele genannt. Aber was genau macht die Faszination dieser riesigen Bergkette aus, die älter ist als die Ringe des Saturn? Warum gibt es gerade hier so viele unterschiedliche Erzählmotive, und kann man erkennen, aus welchen Kulturen sie stammen? All das haben wir uns angeschaut und dabei auch einen Blick auf die aktuelle sozioökonomische Lage der Appalachen geworfen. Wie man uns unterstützen kann, könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

In this episode, we sit down with Jaci and Bill Kousoulas of Phenomenology Research Professionals (PRP). Jaci, a retired USPS Postmaster, business owner, and data analytics specialist, and Bill, who holds a PhD in psychology with a focus on positive psychology and post-traumatic growth, are qualitative researchers exploring the intersections of psychology, spirituality, trauma, and the paranormal.Together they authored Bridging the Tragedy: Silver Linings in the Mysterious Ohio River Valley, a study of the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the preceding Mothman sightings, and how communities experience growth after disaster.The couple shares their personal paranormal encounters—from ghostly apparitions and psychic phenomena to Jaci's striking experience with a gnome-like entity that seemed to follow them home. Bill's lifelong interest in the unexplained was ignited by the Project UFO TV series and deepened by the film The Mothman Prophecies.The conversation dives into the Mothman phenomenon and the Ohio River Valley's 13-month wave of high strangeness (UFOs, Men in Black, poltergeist activity) leading up to the tragic Silver Bridge collapse that claimed 46 lives. Jaci and Bill recount their extensive interviews with family members, survivors, locals, and witnesses who saw Mothman before and after the event, including conversations with figures like Jeff Wamsley (owner of the Mothman Museum) and others connected to the tragedy.They discuss post-traumatic growth—the positive transformations that can emerge from tragedy—and their broader work on how paranormal experiences often intertwine with trauma. Expect compelling stories, thoughtful analysis, and insights into one of America's most enduring mysteries.www.prpconnect.orgGear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

In a previous episode, we shared a chilling listener encounter from Little Braxted, Essex—a childhood memory of glowing red eyes and a winged silhouette that haunted two sisters for decades.Today, we return to that story with a special investigative update. Mark, a paranormal investigator from Paranormal Reason who lives just minutes from the original sighting location, joins the show to share his findings. Mark has spent his time on the ground researching the area's history and, crucially, has successfully located additional witnesses who describe near-identical encounters.We break down these new reports, analyze how this UK encounter compares to the lore we cover here in the States, and discuss the importance of documenting these localized sightings before they fade into local legend.Have your own story?

Do they come from the same spiritual realm as our dearly departed? How are they connected to cryptids and paranormal activity?Sharing numerous evidential case studies, Jonathan Kendall explores the seemingly irreconcilable physical and spiritual aspects of UFOs/UAPs. The evidence he presents has implications that could lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in the areas of communications, energy use, medicine, interstellar travel, religion, and the nature of reality.This eye-opening book. "The Metaphysics of UFOs" investigates the connection between UFOs and kindred phenomena like monsters, Men in Black, and poltergeists. It also explores the harrowing world of UFO abductions and why the aftereffects are so similar to those of both near-death experiences and encounters with mystical realms.These case studies shatter conventional views of reality and prove that far more is at stake than answering the question, "Are we alone in the universe?"On Today's show, we sit down with Dr. Kendall and ask him why Mothman ties into UFO lore. We dive deeper into the phenomenon known as the Men In Black! We talk about whether Aliens are an extraterrestrial phenomenon or an extradimensional one, and also how we have obtained physical evidence if they are extradimensional.

In this episode of Spooky Appalachia, we confront the legend head-on through the eyes of those who claim to have survived an encounter with the Mothman. We explore three distinct, harrowing experiences: a high-stakes, paralyzing roadside confrontation in rural Tennessee; a fog-drenched, unsettling night in the hollers of Point Pleasant; and an inexplicable mid-90s sighting at an Ohio gas station that forever changed a skeptic's perspective.These aren't just stories of shadows and mist—they are accounts of being studied by something with intelligence, intensity, and an unnatural, wing-spanned presence that defies biological explanation. Whether you believe these are encounters with an interdimensional entity, a piece of living folklore, or something else entirely, these testimonies will make you think twice the next time you drive a lonely road after dark.Have your own story?

Jaci and Bill Kousoulas July 16th, 2026, Thursday, 6 PM ET Topic: Mothman Tragedy: The Untold Story of Loss, Mystery, and Post-Traumatic Growth BIO Jaci and Bill Kousoulas Jaci, a retired USPS Postmaster and current business owner/operator, is a holistic teacher and lecturer specializing in Reiki, Crystals, and Research. Bill, a seasoned professional with 30 years of experience in sales and sales management and holds degrees in English and Psychology. Our shared mission is to assist others by delving into research, crafting insightful writings, and publishing books that explore growth after trauma and related subjects. Additionally, both of us harbor a profound fascination with the paranormal – Jaci as an experiencer and Bill as an unwavering student. In 2021, we embarked on a research journey to investigate the 1967 Silver Bridge Disaster. This catastrophic event was preceded by a thirteen-month paranormal onslaught featuring UFOs, Men in Black, Cattle Mutilations, and Poltergeist activity. Notably, over 100 reports described a black, winged being known as Mothman. The culmination of our eighteen-month qualitative study, titled "Bridging the Tragedy: Silver Linings in the Mysterious Ohio River Valley," showcases interviews with several Point Pleasant natives, including Jeff Wamsley, Denny Bellamy, and Andy Colvin. Our upcoming book will delve deeper into the connection between trauma and paranormal experiences, extending beyond the confines of the Ohio River Valley. We extend a warm welcome into our lives and eagerly anticipate hearing from you! Feel free to reach out, and let's connect.

For years, Eric Cooper of Forest Moon Paranormal, based in Concrete, Washington, has investigated some of the Pacific Northwest's most intriguing mysteries. From haunted locations and ghostly encounters to cryptid sightings, Sasquatch reports, UFO activity, and claims of extraterrestrial contact and abduction, Eric has dedicated himself to searching for answers where conventional explanations often fall short. His investigations combine traditional field research with an open mind, allowing him to examine the strange through multiple lenses while documenting evidence from some of the region's most active paranormal hotspots.Tonight on Spaced Out Radio, Eric joins Dave Scott to explore a compelling question that continues to challenge researchers around the world: Are ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs, ET encounters, and other unexplained phenomena all connected? The conversation dives into remote viewing, consciousness, and the possibility that these seemingly separate mysteries may stem from the same underlying source. If the paranormal is more interconnected than we've ever imagined, what does that reveal about our reality—and our place within it? Prepare for a fascinating discussion that crosses the boundaries of the unexplained.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 29, 2023Every state in America is hiding something. Cross the country from Alabama to Wyoming and you'll find a haunted playground where swings move on their own, a vampire buried in a Colorado cemetery, a goat-headed man lurking under a Kentucky railroad trestle, and black-eyed children knocking on car windows in Texas. Some of these urban legends are pure fiction. Others have a disturbing amount of truth buried underneath them — which is exactly what makes them stick.This episode of Weird Darkness travels through all fifty states to uncover the eeriest tale each one has to tell. There's the Alaskan Triangle, where thousands have vanished without a trace, and the shape-shifting otter people the Tlingit say are responsible. There's Resurrection Mary, the ghostly hitchhiker still searching for a dance partner outside Chicago. There's the Villisca ax murders, an unsolved 1912 slaughter that turned a family home into a haunted museum. There's Mothman over Point Pleasant, the skunk ape in the Everglades, the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens, and Bigfoot stalking the forests of the Pacific Northwest.Cryptids and creepy clowns. Cursed roads and phantom trains. Witches, wendigos, and vampires. Alien crash sites and portals to hell. You'll meet the "watcher" who terrorized a New Jersey family through the mail, the Bunny Man of Virginia, Walking Sam on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the Candy Lady of rural Texas. Whether these stories were born around a campfire or dragged out of something that really happened, they've survived because nobody can quite prove they're not true.So bolt your doors, lock your windows, and find out what's whispered about in your own backyard — because every state in the Union has its own creepy collection of urban legends, and some of them might be closer than you think.
John Keel did not believe UFOs were simply metal spacecraft arriving from distant planets.After years of investigating flying saucers, monsters, psychic encounters, Men in Black, strange phone calls, failed prophecies, and the events surrounding Mothman, he began to suspect that the phenomenon was much older, much stranger, and far less honest than most people imagined.In the first part of this Idiot Mystic series, we begin exploring Keel's extraordinary book The Eighth Tower. We look at his life, the experiences that changed his thinking, and his theory that human beings may only perceive a narrow slice of reality.Keel called the larger hidden system the superspectrum. He believed UFOs, demons, fairies, religious visions, cryptids, and other impossible encounters could be different forms produced by the same intelligence, shaped around the fears, beliefs, and expectations of whoever witnessed them.The entities seemed to communicate. They offered warnings, predictions, and grand explanations about where they came from.The problem was that they kept lying.Instagram & TikTok: @idiotmysticJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM

In this episode, Geoff and Katrina celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States declaring independence from Great Britain. Katrina wanted to acknowledge the occasion by indulging in the story tradition of "tall talk" or more commonly "tall tales". Geoff retells the story of Stormalong, which is a great story to represent America because while these tales became common in the northern east coast, they have old sea shanty roots from African song traditions that traveled through Mobile Bay. Then Katrina retells the tale of The Iron Moonhunter, which is a west coast legend of new Chinese immigrants who built the railroads while holding onto the spirits of those they loved and lost. Stories Told: “Stormalong” found in American Tall Tales by Mary Pope Osborne “The Iron Moonhunter” retold by Kathleen Chang Books and Essays Cited: American Tall Tales by Mary Pope Osborne Shanties from the Seven Seas collected by Stan Hugill From Sea to Shining Sea: A Treasury of American Folklore and Folk Songs compiled by Amy L.

In the spring of 1976, two young sisters exploring a churchyard in Cornwall claimed they encountered a towering feathered creature with glowing red eyes perched atop an ancient church tower. What followed was a wave of sightings, terrified witnesses, and one of Britain's strangest cryptid legends. Tonight, we journey into the mist-covered woods of Mawnan to investigate the mystery of the Owlman—a creature that has haunted Cornwall for nearly fifty years.

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Edgar siempre estuvo rodeado de historias paranormales, pero cuando creció y quiso tener su propio negocio experimentó unos de los momentos más aterradores de su vida: sombras, ruidos, voces, extrañas criaturas. Esta es su historia. Y en las noticias paranormales: En México una empleada estaba en el baño de su local y de repente la secadora de manos se activó sola. La mujer 'retó' a la presencia y no imaginarás lo que sucedió. En Ciudad Juárez han circulado testimonios de testigos que aseguran haber visto una figura alta, oscura, alada y de ojos brillantes.
It has been proposed that the Mothman could very well be the angel of death, as sightings of the ominous and feared entity foretell impending disaster. This winged human-looking creature was first reported by citizens of West Virginia during the year prior to the horrible collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant. Curiously, on November 20, 2016, an unidentified man allegedly captured images of what he believed to be the Mothman. The alleged return of Mothman happened 5 days after the 50th anniversary of the original sightings there in 1966. On this captivating episode of Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Mothman researcher and Cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard about THE RETURN OF MOTHMAN. The original broadcast was on December 2, 2016.
