BIGFOOT MOTH MAN
Bigfoot is a creature who is said to roam the north woodlands of America and has been known and talked about since recorded history in the North Americas. The earliest sign that a creature like Bigfoot existed was in the 1800s when a group stumbled upon a footprint that was three times the size of an average man. So, they decided to give this creature the self-explanatory name of Bigfoot. After this, strange sightings of a seven-foot tall, hairy, humanoid monster were reported around the area. These were the first sightings of this legendary creature. After this, the legend only grew and attracted more popularity. People even dedicated their lives to finding the elusive beast. With more hikers and mountain bikers claiming to see Bigfoot, the search did not slow down for a long time.
To this day, the legend still has people dedicated to finding him. Now, this all sounds unbelievable, until you realize where this legend came from. The legend of Bigfoot originated in a small settlement in the state of Ohio, a state that has an unusually high amount of paranormal activity.

On November 12, 1966, a young couple was driving to Point Pleasant, West Virginia when they felt they were not alone. Suddenly, out of the night sky, a man-like creature with wings like a moth and eyes glowing red appeared before them for a split second. This was the first sighting of Moth Man. This creature would not be sighted again until December 15, 1967, when people reported seeing a strange-looking bird with red eyes on The Silver Bridge moments before it collapsed. While the government assured the public that it was simply a structural problem, many were still skeptical. Once again however, there was an odd coincidence, The Silver Bridge, though near West Virginia, is in Ohio. Other than this, there have been very few Moth Man sightings recently.
