The Mothman - from MASON County

I revisited this story recently... right after I had noticed we crossed the 50 year anniversary of the Silver Bridge collapsing.

On December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed while it was full of rush-hour traffic, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. Two of the victims were never found. Investigation of the wreckage pointed to the cause of the collapse being the failure of a single eyebar in a suspension chain, due to a small defect 0.1 inches (2.5 mm) deep. Analysis showed that the bridge was carrying much heavier loads than it had originally been designed for and had been poorly maintained.

The collapsed bridge was replaced by the Silver Memorial Bridge, which was completed in 1969.

The main reason for revisiting this story was similarities of the demons portrayed in Justice League... which ironically was recently released around the 50 year anniversary after the mothman events.







I will be researching this story a little more going forward... and will formulate a few of my own theories.

as for now, I"m curious to read other ATS theories on this subject.

Reminds me of the character in Ant Man.

I don't have a theory on it but do think it is fascinating. Visited Point Pleasant a few years ago and went to the Mothman museum.

Has anyone ever sighted caterpillar boy? He would come before moth man.

The mothman story has always creeped me out, I looked into it after watching the Richard Gear(?) movie I looked into it but stopped myself, I literally creeped myself out to the point I didnt want to read anymore.

The same question always entered my mind....Why did he leave/disapear and when will he return
