There has been many stories of people seeing the Mothman. There has been a few that have caught my attention and got me interested in learning more about the Mothman. On December 15, 1967 the Silver bridge connecting Point Pleasant, West Virginia with Kanauga, Ohio suddenly fell at about 5 pm. A loud cracking sound was heard, and one of the main towers of the bridge began to twist and fall. The bridge collapsed into the Ohio River, carrying the cars, trucks, and people that remained on it. Forty-six people died that night, while many were injured. A report that evening prior to the collapse was the sighting of red lights in the sky. Reports showed that many of the people who were injured were first-hand eyewitnesses of the Mothman. Over one weekend there was over five hundred reports in regarding lights and things seen in the sky. The people of Point Pleasant, West Virginia truly believe the Mothman caused the Silver bridge to collapse.
