Abstrakt: This article explores the phenomenon of the Mothman, a winged creature that has been sighted in various locations worldwide. It was first seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, before the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967. Similar creatures have been reported near major disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima, as well as in Chicago near O'Hare airport. The Mothman is often associated with UFO sightings and is described as having glowing red eyes and a humanoid shape. The article also discusses other sightings of winged creatures, including the Owlman, bat-like creatures, and the Van Meter Monster in Iowa. It delves into winged creatures in mythology, such as the Mayan bat god, European Strix, Native American Stikini, and Greek harpies. The author suggests that these sightings could be misidentifications of large birds or have supernatural or extraterrestrial origins. [Extracted from the article]
