With recent sightings of the Mothman happening all over Chicago, we thought that maybe you should know a little more about previous sightings of the famed, terrifying creature. Typically believed to be a harbinger of destruction, an ominous winged humanoid that brings disaster with it everywhere it goes, the Mothman is one freaky, intriguing beast. With that being said, we present to you CRAZY Sightings of the Mothman. Thirteen to be exact. Spooky.

7. Disappearing Dog
In November of 1966, in Salem West, Virginia, a man named Merle Partridge claimed to hear a loud noise near his home. He says his dog began barking madly and his television began to whine loudly before he went outside to see what was going down. He says he was confronted by a being with large, glowing, red eyes that belonged to an animal he had never, ever seen before. He also says there were strange, flashing red lights dancing around before his dog took off toward the creature, and he never saw either again. Poor puppy. Just wanted to get a taste of that mothy, insect flesh!


6. Freiburg, Germany
A group of miners in the small town of Freiburg, Germany reportedly came face to face with the Mothman on September 10, 1978. They say that a seemingly headless creature with glowing red eyes blocked their exit out of a mine they were working in before it unfurled its large, black wings and let out a blood-curdling screech. They, being human, flipped the f out and took off running, making their way out of the mine only an hour before they felt the Earth shake and witnessed a plume of smoke exit the mines entrance. The tunnel had collapsed and had it not been for the beast of a humanoid they saw; they probably would have perished. What a weird, horrifying guardian angel.


5. Twin Towers
Another tragedy, another Mothman sighting. Go figure. In the days leading up to the events that took place on 9/11/2001, several people reported seeing a black winged creature flying in proximity to the Twin Towers. There were also reports following the collapse of the towers of people seeing his face in the smoke and debris. One person even claimed to see it flying parallel to one of the planes that hit one of the two towers, and the eyewitnesses were reportedly approached by men in black in the days following the attacks and were told to keep their mouths shut. Suspicious bros, suspicious.


4. Minneapolis
Yet another bridge collapse where a strange, moth-like being was spotted happened in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2007. In the month leading up to the I-35W Bridge collapse, the Mothman was spotted numerous times flying in the area and at the bridge itself. Reports began on June 27, 2007, a little over a month before the collapse on August 1. One woman stated that she saw a creepy cryptid while driving just outside of Stewartville, MN on June 27 and the beast was described as having “a huge wing about the width of a Ford.” Some claims were dismissed as it’s believed that what people were seeing could have been a large bird, like a crane or a heron, but with it being reported at various other disasters, we find that highly unlikely. Why would it be a simple bird when it can be attributed to a large, hairy, bat-winged, red-eyed man beast? Dummies.


3. Chernobyl
Throughout 1985, many workers and scientists at the now famed nuclear power plant reported seeing a massive, bird-like creature with the body of a human flying around the plant. Those who bore witness to the terrifying sight also reported receiving harassing phone calls and experiencing intense nightmares in the days leading up to the disaster in 1986. Several people reported seeing the figure flying around inside and near the smoke following the explosion, and it has been named the “Blackbird of Chernobyl.” If all it was were a bird, that would be okay; a Mothman is not okay, not okay at all. Go home demon! It has been said that the Chernobyl stories could have all been fictional accounts from the 2002 movie Mothman Prophecies, but we’re gonna stick with believing that they’re true; makes for a cooler story, right?


2. Return to West Virginia
November 20, 2016, was a day that an unidentified photographer won’t soon forget as it’s the day he came lens to face with the Mothman. He claims he was driving down Route 2 and pulled over when he spotted a strange creature flying above the trees. He whipped out his camera, shot some photos, and took a look at what he had captured. What he saw was a two-legged, winged, humanoid being soaring high in the sky. He sent the pictures to local news station WCHS, who then aired the story. Was it the Mothman returning to wreak havoc in West Virginia yet again? We don’t know, but we sure hope not. Because that ish cray.
