Listen "Episode 3: Mothman: The Winged Prophet of Point Pleasant"
Episode Synopsis
The final episode covers Mothman, the winged entity that allegedly terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia between 1966-1967 before the tragic Silver Bridge collapse. Wade examines the original sightings, the historical context of the abandoned "TNT area" where encounters occurred, and the various theories about Mothman's nature—from misidentified wildlife to supernatural harbinger. The episode traces how John Keel's "The Mothman Prophecies" and its film adaptation transformed a local legend into a global phenomenon, exploring Mothman's unusual cultural adaptability across different countries and belief systems. Wade reflects on how this relatively modern cryptid demonstrates the continued human need for meaning in mystery, even in our technological age.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
