The sightings, which attracted the attention of a number of the weird world’s greatest researchers (including John Keel and Rick Moran), subsided following the tragic collapse of The Silver Bridge but occasional reports persisted.
The Mothman statue at Point Pleasant, Virginia bears this description of the incident:
“On a chilly November night in 1966, two young couples drove into the TNT area north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, when they realized they were not alone. What they saw that night has evolved into one of the great mysteries of all time; hence the Mothman Legacy began. It has grown into a phenomenon known all over the world by millions of curious people asking questions: What really happened? What did these people see? Has it been seen since? It still sparks the world's curiosity - the mystery behind Point Pleasant West Virginia's MOTHMAN.”
