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? (The King James Book of Demonology) *** Her gravestone, decorated with a cross and flowers, reads “Jerrilynn S. Mullins — Beloved wife and best friend.” It could also be added, “a victim of a crime that will likely never be solved.” (The Unsolved Mystery of Jerrilyn Mullins) *** It was on November 15th 1966 that Point Pleasant, West Virginia had its first experience with what later became known as the Mothman. Many believe it was either the cause of a horrific bridge collapse, or perhaps a harbinger of the doom that was soon to come. The mystery remains to this day – as do some of the eerie happenings in the area. (Mothman Attacks) ** 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead in his high school's gym – but the circumstances of his death have brought more questions than answers.

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.

This is a CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOOn March 3rd, 1928, the town of Williamson, West Virginia, celebrated the opening of a state-of-the-art facility: the Williamson Hospital. For 60 years, it served as the heart of the community. Within its walls, countless lives began, countless lives ended, and unthinkable traumas unfolded. Generations of families were touched by its legacy.In 1988, the hospital closed its doors for good. The patients left. The staff moved on. The hallways fell silent. Or so it seemed.Today, the building is known as The Old Hospital on College Hill, and while its days as a functioning medical facility are over, the energy of the past has never truly gone away. Visitors, paranormal investigators, and staff all report that the hospital remains active—just not in the way it once was. Spirits of doctors, nurses, and patients are said to still roam the halls, carrying out their duties as if time never stopped.Footsteps echo in empty corridors. Disembodied voices whisper through examination rooms. Some claim to have seen figures in white coats moving through the wards, still working to “help the sick.” Others feel an oppressive sadness in the rooms where trauma unfolded, or hear faint cries of patients long gone.Now open to the public, The Old Hospital on College Hill offers both historical tours and paranormal investigations, giving visitors a chance to experience firsthand what lingers in this haunted landmark.On this episode of The Grave Talks, we speak with Tonya Webb, co-owner and manager of the hospital, to uncover its history, its hauntings, and why so many believe the building never truly closed its doors.Some hospitals heal the living.

June baseball was once a dream in Morgantown. Now, it's reality. The most remarkable season in West Virginia baseball history added another unforgettable chapter Monday night when the Mountaineers outlasted Kentucky in extra innings to capture the NCAA Regional Championship. The victory capped a four-day test of endurance, resilience, and belief. Facing elimination and mounting pressure, WVU answered every challenge with three consecutive wins in the most dramatic fashion imaginable. Now, the reward is historic. For the first time ever, West Virginia University will host an NCAA Super Regional. Standing between the Mountaineers and their first trip to the College World Series is Cal Poly, which arrives in Morgantown this weekend for a best-of-three series with a place in Omaha on the line. In this episode, the “Guys” are joined by WVU head coach Steve Sabins for an inside look at a program-defining weekend. Sabins breaks down the key moments, pivotal decisions, and relentless mindset that carried the Mountaineers through one of the most memorable stretches in school history. Two wins away from Omaha, West Virginia's dream season continues.

A retrospective comparison of two state-funded smartphone-based contingency management programs with different incentives  Drug and Alcohol Dependence This retrospective study compared outcomes for patients with stimulant use disorder enrolled in a smartphone-based contingency management program based on the amount of total incentives possible, either $75 (“low-value”) or $599 (“moderate-value”). The low-value program was based in New Jersey, funded through SAMHSA (which limited reimbursement to $75/patient at the time of implementation, which has since been increased), and rewarded completing drug testing, attending counseling visits, and completing CBT modules rather than abstinence over 16 weeks. The moderate-value program was funded by West Virginia's Medicaid managed care organizations, lasted up to 26 weeks, and largely rewarded negative drug screening results, with additional rewards for counseling and CBT modules. Patients in the moderate-value program submitted significantly higher rates of negative substance tests (36%, with an average of 3.2 negative tests) compared to those in the low-value group (24.7%, with an average of 24.8 negative tests).   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

There's an old rule in the Appalachian Mountains, if you hear your name called from the woods, don't answer. This week, we're delving into the hills to find out why. We cover folklore  from a 200-year-old Tennessee haunting that killed a man, to a 10-foot creature that emerged in West Virginia in 1952, to the thing in the trees that learns your voice.

Chris Lawrence previews an upcoming episode documenting the best fishing day of his life — a two-day Lake Erie smallmouth trip with Ed Powell that produced 75 to 100 fish, including multiple bass over four pounds — before settling into two guests with West Virginia river news. Pete Runyon of Friends of the Tug Fork River joins to update listeners on the group's annual Tug of War tire cleanup, which has now removed more than 19,000 tires from the river since 2019, along with new access improvements, a trash interceptor at Laurel Lake, and an upcoming youth paddle camp on June 6th. DNR Assistant Chief of Fisheries Dave Wellman then covers the Ohio River's current upswing in bass fishing, explaining how stable spring flows and mild winters over the past several years have improved recruitment and fish size, the challenge of silting backwater embayments that limit largemouth habitat, and the tools — stocking, habitat improvement, and regulation — the agency is currently evaluating to sustain and improve the fishery.

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.

On Thursday, May 21, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released a report examining the party's performance in the 2024 elections. The 192-page postmortem argued that Democrats must “organize everywhere to Win Anywhere” and particularly advocated for a “renewed focus on the voters of Middle America and the South.” However, the organization distanced itself from the document's findings. In a Substack post accompanying the report's release, DNC Chair Ken Martin said, “I don't endorse what's in this report, or what's left out of it.”Announcing our fourth guest for West Virginia!We're excited to announce that Free Press columnist Kat Rosenfield will join our on-stage lineup at Tangle's next in-person event in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, on June 14.

Jake Brend and Derek Duke react to the NCAA denying Brendan Sorsby's waiver at Texas Tech, debate the future of Big 12 basketball scheduling, and somehow spiral into an argument about whether Ankeny is actually the best city in Iowa.

Hundreds of thousands of kids rely on America's foster care system. West Virginia has the highest rate of foster care placements of any state - four times the national average. Foster care is most often needed because of parental substance use, mental health challenges, poverty and neglect. Six-thousand Mountain State kids are in foster care, but there's a shortage of licensed foster homes and residential facilities and that's why nearly 400 kids live in out-of-state institutions. On this Us & Them, an encore episode finds more than half of all states have seen their number of licensed foster homes drop, some by as much as 60 percent because many new foster parents don't stay in the system for long. While official foster care cases are tracked and overseen by state agencies, many types of so-called kinship care are not official or included in state data.

In tonight's dead letter, we head into Grafton, West Virginia — a small railroad town built on a B&O junction, Civil War supply lines, and two national cemeteries. The house at the center of this story sat right in the middle of all that history. When a listener named Jonathan moved in with his family as a kid, it was, as he puts it, just off — and the footsteps upstairs were the easy part. Small things kept stacking up, the kind you could maybe almost explain away one at a time but never all together. Decades later he's still working through what happened in that house, and what stayed there.REFERENCE LINKSGrafton, West Virginia — e-WV EncyclopediaB&O Railroad Historical Marker in GraftonGrafton Civil War Supply Depot Historical MarkerGrafton National Cemetery — National Cemetery AdministrationThornsbury Bailey Brown — First Union Soldier Killed in the Civil WarInternational Mother's Day ShrineAnna Jarvis, Founder of Mother's DayThe Grafton Monster — e-WV EncyclopediaThe Grafton Monster FestivalThe Grafton Monster in Fallout 76George Washington's Surveying of Grafton — City of GraftonRuth Ann Musick, West Virginia FolkloristThe Telltale Lilac Bush and Other West Virginia Ghost TalesAstonishing Legends Ep 85: The Bell Witch Part 1Astonishing Legends Archived Episodes — The Bell Witch SeriesThe Enfield Poltergeist (1977)The Smurl Haunting (West Pittston, PA)Skinwalkers at the Pentagon — Lacatski, Kelleher, KnappHypnopompic Hallucinations — Sleep FoundationThe Old Hag Phenomenon and Sleep ParalysisThe Blemmyes — Headless Men with Faces in Their ChestsWest Virginia Paranormal InvestigationsPaper Moon (1973)We're looking for more stories!

Brodie Kresser's journey to West Virginia University baseball is proof that big dreams can grow from small-town roots. The Iowa native arrived in Morgantown after a winding path that included a small high school program and junior college baseball, but aggressive recruiting from Mountaineer coach Steve Sabins convinced Kresser that WVU was the perfect fit. Three seasons later, the decision has paid off in a big way. Kresser has become one of the leaders of a Mountaineer team preparing to host an NCAA Regional before what promises to be a sold-out crowd at Kendrick Family Ballpark. In this episode, the “Guys” dive into Kresser's baseball journey, his competitive approach to the game and the role that family and faith have played throughout his career. The crew also discusses the growing excitement surrounding WVU baseball as postseason play arrives in Morgantown. Listener questions and comments complete the episode during Textual Healing.

This episode was recorded on April 19th, 2026 at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV. The lineup includes Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel, John Pizzarelli, Peter Case, Mollie O'Brien & Rich Moore, Jedd Hughes. https://bit.ly/4wLZPMh
