Chicago’s Mothman is back and, allegedly, setting up shop near O’Hare International Airport.

According to UFO Clearinghouse’s Manuel Navarette, the latest sighting of the legendary Mothman took place at approximately 6:30 PM on November 26, 2019, though the witness did not come forward to report his sighting until December 4. 

The witness, a trucker frequenting the airport for deliveries, stated the following in his original comment:

“I was at the airport picking up a load at Nippon, I was already backed into a dock and was standing away from the truck smoking a cigarette while they loaded my truck. I was looking toward the runways, in the direction of the tunnel and that is when I noticed something that looked like a large bird standing just outside of the fence by the parking lot. It was not hard to miss because two street lamps were nearby. It looked like a person with wings that were stretched out and flapping. It was walking away from the fence toward the open field and then began to flap its wings and disappeared.”

The description of the creature matches several other sightings over the month of October from various Chicago neighborhoods reaching out all the way into the suburbs of Park Ridge and beyond, as does the overwhelming sense of evil that both the other witnesses, and this new one in a later statement, all claim to have felt. 

Navarette also did a followup with this anonymous man and uncovered the following:

“When asked if he had seen something similar before, the witness stated that he had before when he was a teenager back home in Mexico. The witness stated that he saw a solid black-winged creature that was circling an open field that he and other children were playing soccer in. He stated it circled the field and made a loud screeching noise before flying off into the surrounding forest. When I asked him if he remembered the date of the sighting he stated that he did not remember the exact date but a week later there was a large earthquake in Mexico City. (For the record, the magnitude 8.0 earthquake that hit Mexico City was on September 19, 1985)”

According to the original report, paranormal investigators will be dispatched to the site, though this has been done with other Chicago Mothman sightings to no avail. The city has slipped the supposed curse of the Mothman that seemingly struck both Point Pleasant and Mexico City, but with new sightings now coming to light, who’s to say for how long?
