One of the craziest true stories is that of the Mothman, an entity that talked the small town of Point Pleasant, WV, ending with a horrific disaster. There have been various movies about the creature, including the excellent Mothman Prophecies. But the biggest angle that’s omitted from the majority of them is that this Mothman was actually an extraterrestrial.
Now on DVD, Vimeo OnDemand and for sale through Amazon is the engaging and enthralling micro-doc The Mothman of Point Pleasant, which approaches the events by connecting with locals, and now shying away from the ultimate conspiracy: that this could have been of alien origin.
“Learn the terrifying, true story about thirteen months that changed history! In November of 1966, a car full of kids encountered a creature, unlike anything they’d ever seen before. In the weeks and months to follow, the monster (now known as The Mothman) was sighted again and again on country roads and around the state of West Virginia. As the sightings continued so did an increase in unusual activity.
At the center of this bizarre series of events was the town of Point Pleasant, WV. A small ‘burb situated on the banks of the Ohio river with a lengthy history of what many might call bad luck. Over the next thirteen months, Point Pleasant would undergo one of the strangest outbreaks of paranormal activity the world has ever seen. An outbreak that eventually ended in tragedy.”
