Manny The Mothman-5 inch

Color pattern will vary.

Mothman is one of those fascinating urban legends that has captured imaginations for decades! The story began in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966 when people reported seeing a large, winged creature with glowing red eyes. Descriptions of Mothman vary, but he's often said to be about 6-7 feet tall with huge wings and a strange, almost supernatural aura.

The legend really took off after the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967, which killed 46 people. Some locals believed Mothman sightings were an omen of disaster, making him a sort of harbinger of doom. This connection between Mothman and catastrophic events has fueled speculation that he might be a supernatural being, an alien, or even an interdimensional traveler.

While skeptics argue that Mothman sightings can be explained by misidentified animals like large owls, the legend has taken on a life of its own. Point Pleasant even holds an annual Mothman Festival and has a Mothman statue, celebrating the mystery and the intrigue surrounding him.

People are drawn to the mystery and the sense of the unknown Mothman represents, and who doesn't love a good, spooky tale?
