Ancient solar eclipses once rewrote history and terrified civilizations, but when a winged creature with glowing red eyes began stalking Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966, it brought with it a trail of disasters that some believe stems from a 200-year-old Native American curse.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

But when looking at the correlations between odd or strange events, and the Mothman, you might begin to wonder if bad omens may be real after all.

In Episode 135 of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dig deep into the legend of the Mothman, its eerie origins in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, its ties to bridge collapses, psychic warnings, and the paranormal breadcrumbs that continue to spook researchers today. They explore whether the Mothman is a supernatural prophet, government experiment, or interdimensional being, and how its resurgence in popular media might be more than just urban legend. From there, the conversation spirals into psyops, predictive programming, and the ways the government uses fear and folklore to manipulate public perception. With signature wit and relentless curiosity, Jon and Zak tie cryptids to covert ops, analyze media distractions, and question who benefits from the myths we're told. If the Mothman is a messenger, the real question is: what is he warning us about now?

The Mothman, a legendary winged “birdman” with glowing red eyes, was first reported in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966. Interestingly, similar sightings began this century in Chicago. As far as cryptids go, the myth behind Mothman is more supernatural than zoological, with many believing this creature is a harbinger of doom.

Plans within plans…moves and countermoves. The PACT unleashes their Oni on Vault Town while finishing their work in the Silos. MODUS has a front row seat to the new apocalypse as he watches from the lens of the Kovac Muldoon.With one last throw of the dice, Valeria puts her desperate plan into motion to save the future…Stein finds his life coming full circle, allied with SODUS to ensure a final confrontation with MODUS…and the chance at true redemption for the sins of the past.As the defenders of Vault Town prepare to lay down their lives to give the refugees of Appalachia time to escape, the column of civilians finds itself in even greater danger, caught between the Cultists at Point Pleasant and the Oni now advancing behind them.It's up to Trader Red to convince the crazed cultists to let the civilians pass…and if she fails, Point Pleasant will once again become the graveyard of what remains of Appalachia.And at Silo Bravo, Valeria and her team face nearly insurmountable odds…In these final hours, “they who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.”

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 102nd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. I open with a complicated correction that involves my having mixed up Rachel Nichols and Elisabeth Harnois, the shows they were involved in, their connections to Joss Whedon productions and also cross connections through "Criminal Minds." This set covers discs 1826 to 1850 in my Classic Collection. For my Fuzzy Feature, from Discs 1849 and 1850, comments on the pilot episode of Matt Nix production "The Good Guys," along with my 12th ever "VideoFuzzy the Video" posted here: https://youtu.be/aT5HIqRBS50 I also traced Cross Connections turning up in this collection for Golden Threads Michael O'Neill and Stephen Weber, plus Tahmon Penniket, William B. Davis, Gary Anthony Williams, Erica Gimpel, Ally Walker, Marion Ross, Chrisotpher Lloyd, Scott Bakula, Fred Willard, Swoosie Kurtz, Allison Janney, Terry O'Quinn, Marilyn Manson, Mitch Pileggi, Jon Waters, Bob Clendinen, Neil Patrick Harris, Molly Shannon, John Michael Higgins, Idina Menzel, Judy Greer, Kelsey Grammer, Saul Rubinek, Rachel York, Brent Sexton, Kevin "Repo" Thomas, M.C. Gainey, Kate Vernon and Wade Williams. Plus from "Mid-Century Modern" and elsewhere, I recognize my latest Golden Thread: Bruno Amato. In my Classic Collection, I encountered a few disc errors, suggesting my current DVD player may be wearing out. In the meantime, lots of high-drama season finales in this set. Comments on "Grey's Anatomy," "Fringe," "The Simpsons," "Chuck," "Breaking Bad," and a discussion on the Weeping Angels in "Doctor Who." In Old Business, I track down a musical comedy clip of Martin Short listing celebrities and other notables who refuse to appear on "The Late Show with David Letterman." I'd archived a portion of that one to disc 225 but hadn't seen the first half in perhaps ever until I found it on YouTube in a clip compilation of Martin Short appearances hosted by David Letterman and Paul Schaffer. I posted it here, cued to the 22-minute mark: https://bit.ly/3G52J9e In What I've Been Watching, comments on the Vernal Theatre's outstanding production of "Kiss Me Kate," the second season premiere of "Doctor Who" on Disney+, the first season of "Continuum" and pilot episodes of "Millennium," "Profiler" and "Mid-Century Modern."

The IT Center is expected to open for classes in the fall.  A second phase, occurring simultaneously, will be setting up the new daycare facility in the former OVU Library space. Jackson said OVU's chapel space will be left intact as a meeting space and to be rented out for weddings. The old OVU kitchen could be updated at some point into a commercial kitchen facility and they are looking for someone who might be able to convert the former cafeteria into a restaurant. “What we are doing here has the potential to change Vienna for generations, because it is a project that allows for a housing development over time, allows for schools to be located and it allows for many businesses to have opportunities here in Vienna,” she said.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Ever thought you had one foot in the afterlife and the other foot tangled in a whoopee cushion? Welcome to Tom Owens's delightfully unnerving life story. From a childhood romp in the woods involving more than poison ivy to the midnight rattlings that almost convinced Tom to move into his car, he's got plenty of nightmare fuel to share. We'll also prod Tom about those mind-bending coincidences that'll leave you wondering if reality has a sense of humor. You won't want to miss his eyebrow-raising definition of ghosts or his theories on whether the Mothman is just an overcaffeinated crane or something far more sinister lurking in Point Pleasant. So light a candle (and maybe keep the lights on), because this journey into the shadows is worth every eerie moment.

On this episode of Necronomicast, I close out 2024 with a wonderful conversation with Tobias and Emily Wayland.  You might have seen Tobias recently on the most recent season of "Unsolved Mysteries" on Netflix! Together, the work of Tobias and Emily were featured on season four of Unsolved Mysteries, the series premiere of Expedition X, and the Small Town Monsters documentaries Terror in the Skies and On the Trail of the Lake Michigan Mothman for their work investigating Mothman sightings in the Midwest. Tobias and Emily have been involved with the Lake Michigan Mothman investigation since its advent in the spring of 2017, and published a book chronicling the experience, The Lake Michigan Mothman: High Strangeness in the Midwest.  Their second and third books about unusual phenomena, Strange Tales of the Impossible and The Singular Fortean Society's Yuletide Guide to High Strangeness, continue their work in investigating a variety of seemingly impossible events. This episode's release coincides with the anniversary of the Silver Bridge collapse in Point Pleasant, West Virginia on December 15, 1967, where sightings of the Mothman were reported beforehand.

In 1966 and 1967 the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia and towns surrounding it experienced a disturbing rash of paranormal activity including terrifying encounters with a winged mothlike man with glowing red eyes, UFO sightings, and contact with alien beings that only ended after the collapse of the town's suspension bridge that killed dozens of people.  Luis and Angelo explore whether this was all the result of an Indian curse or some other supernatural phenomenon.  And don't miss the story of Indrid Cold, an extraterrestrial being with a frightening smile believed to be connected to the Mothman, that frequently visited and tormented a local man and his family.

There are still some final approvals to complete, but once that is done, a commemorative plaque or letter will be put in the park “in recognition of the Shawnee people's bravery and role in this part of American history.” Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. The name comes from the Wyandotte language, meaning “point between two waters.” It is home to a granite obelisk honoring the frontiersman who fought and died in the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, as well as to the grave of legendary Shawnee Chief Cornstalk.  Read more: https://www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/mason-county-wv/tu-endie-wei-state-park-added-to-national-underground-railroad-network-to-freedom/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

Kick off November with tales of the mysterious Flannel Man—a plaid-wearing phantom spotted across the U.S. and beyond. Inspired by firsthand accounts from the Strange Familiars podcast, this episode unravels eerie sightings of a lumberjack-like figure. Most often described as a bearded man wearing a plaid flannel shirt (often red and black), blue jeans, and boots. He ranges from friendly-looking to downright eerie, with reports of glowing red eyes and sometimes sporting an axe. His appearance can leave witnesses uneasy, and though he may look like a regular person, he emanates a distinctly paranormal vibe.Is Flannel Man a guardian, an omen, or just a ghostly visitor? What are his ties to the high strangeness occurrences in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in John Keel's The Mothman Prophecies? Join us as we explore these questions, and make some curious connections to Oregon's Paul Bunyan statues. Grab your best flannel and cozy in for some chilling tales and join the search for answers behind this fashionable lumberjack figure.Visit our website!

A first installment of many, as I will be interviewing several other researchers on the subject to share their own stories that somehow lead back to Point Pleasant, West Virginia.    ALL THINGS EX V PLANIS https://www.exvplanis.com https://linktr.ee/Exvplanis https://foldsandfloods.bandcamp.com   ALL THINGS AARON DEESE https://www.heystrangeness.com/ https://www.smalltownmonsters.com/shop/the-texas-dogman-triangle-by-aaron-deese https://www.smalltownmonsters.com/shop/huntinggroundsaarondeese

In this show, Susy talks with Bill and Jaci Kousoulas. - The mysterious Ohio River Valley, the Silver Bridge disaster, Mothman  and more Jaci is a retired U.S. federal official. Her professional expertise lies in data analytics, investigation, and research. Point Pleasant became a home away from home for her the very first time she visited there. The community and people remind her of her childhood and what it was like to experience the unity of life in a small town. She is highly intuitive and has been encouraged by a retired hypnotherapist and gifted psychic to pursue her profound abilities. Jaci has had numerous paranormal encounters during her lifetime, including seeing UFOs, disembodied heads on the dresser, and a lumbering entity plodding through a cornfield, which she describes as looking like one of Richard Shaver's Detrimental Robots (DEROs). She has also been contacted by family members and friends since their passing.Bill completed his doctorate in psychology in January of 2021. He specializes in positive psychology, the science of “what goes right in life.” Most of his doctoral research is in the area of post-traumatic growth - the good outcomes that we gain by navigating our challenging life experiences. Later in 2021, Jaci and Bill formed Phenomenology Research Professionals, a practice in which they focus on the correlations between paranormal experiences and post-traumatic growth. This discipline allows them to combine multiple interests into a passion for investigating the unknown, learning how people and communities grow from trauma, and helping others to understand that good things can and do come from traumatic events.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick things off by discussing the unusually cool temperatures in Texas this August. Following that, they delve into an extraordinary account from a U.S. Army Infantry Squad Leader who encounters a creature unlike any known to science while on a mission in Afghanistan. Next, the show features a listener's eerie story of spotting an unfamiliar face while hunting in the woods of Tennessee—could it have been a troll? After the break, Cam and Kyle explore a potential new wave of Mothman sightings. Are these truly Mothman encounters, or could they be a collection of different unidentified flying humanoids? They revisit the first reported sighting from 1966, when two gravediggers in Clendenin, West Virginia, saw a black figure fly overhead while working in a cemetery. This sighting, described as a 10-foot tall creature with glowing red eyes, was followed by another in nearby Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where a couple spotted the creature while driving at night. Reports continued to emerge, particularly around the TNT area near town. Some dismissed these sightings as misidentifications of cranes or owls, and there were even reports of Men in Black appearing in town soon after the sightings began. The most infamous encounter occurred on December 15, 1967, when the Mothman was seen on or above the Silver Bridge just before it collapsed, tragically killing 46 people. But this wasn't the only instance where the Mothman appeared before a disaster. In 1986, days before the catastrophic failure of a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, multiple workers reported seeing a creature around the plant. This entity was later dubbed "The Blackbird of Chernobyl." There were other sightings around catastrophies. In April 2009, residents of La Junta in the Mexican state of Chihuahua began noticing a strange creature around their town just before a massive Swine Flu outbreak. In August 1900, multiple sightings of a giant black bird were reported in Galveston, Texas. On September 8th, a devastating hurricane struck Galveston, claiming more than 10,000 lives. In November 2019, a truck driver at O'Hare Airport in Chicago stepped away from his vehicle for a smoke break and saw a tall, birdlike man with glowing eyes. What is the Mothman? Why does it appear, and what does it want? All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
