Mothman Entity
Mothman History:http://www.boudillion.com/Moth/mothman.html
The Mothman is one of the strangest and most terrifying of anomalous creatures ever to be recorded in America. Between November 12, 1966 and December 15, 1967, it terrorized citizens in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia. It was said to have been encountered by at least 100 people over the course of that year.
According to author John A. Keel (The Mothman Prophecies, 1975) who was on hand investigating the reports during the time of the sightings, the creature was reported to be roughly man-shaped, either grey or brown, and between five and seven feet tall. Its body was wider than a man's. It did not appear to have a head, but rather its "eyes" were set on the upper chest. These "eyes" were very large, and alternately described as glowing red lights, or a reflected red like a bicycle reflector. (Glowing red eyes are the surest sign of a paranormal entity.)
When it walked it shuffled on what appeared to be human-like legs, but no feet were ever observed. Rather than arms it had bat-like wings which it did not flap. It was always seen to glide. The non-flapping of the wings, even in ascent, is particularly disturbing. Indeed, it was reported to regularly ascend straight up like a helicopter - and again be it noted, without any wing-action. (In regards to the wings, John Keel determined that a man the size and heft of the Mothman would require 24 foot wings to be able to glide.) It was fast in flight, able to pace cars going over 100 miles an hour. In flight it emitted a humming sound and often emitted a "mouse-like squeaking." Occasionally it was heard to also emit a screeching sound something like a woman screaming.
(This "woman screaming" sound is common among anomalous creatures, particularly the Bigfoot creatures.) No one who saw it was indifferent to the creature - it struck terror into the hearts of all its viewers.
Recently, interest in Mothman has been rekindled due to the release of the movie The Mothman Prophecies starring Richard Gere. Cryptozoologist Loren Colman has also contributed a new book on the subject: Mothman & Other Curious Encounters (2002).

"On November 15, 1966, four individuals - two married couples -
were at what was essentially a lovers lane in Point Pleasant,
West Virginia," explains Coleman, who has been researching
so-called "Fortean Phenomena" (from Charles Fort) since 1960.
"These two couples saw two giant red eyes, and it very much
scared them...they didn't know what to make of it."
This, then, was the first reported sighting of the 'Mothman',
which Coleman goes on to say "was described as 6-to-7 feet tall
with red eyes and no head, as if the eyes were in the breast
area, and with huge wings." The creature "came toward them. They
took off and the creature followed them right up to the city
limits of Point Pleasant." The incident was reported to the
local sheriff, who went to the lovers lane and "searches around,
sees a puff of smoke in a nearby area from possibly this
creature taking off and landing again."
While Coleman reports that the account was "ridiculed in the
local press," something very strange began to happen: "More and
more people started seeing this creature. For the next thirteen
months, over 200 individuals had some interaction with some
strange phenomena - and about a hundred of those said they
actually saw Mothman."
Creepy events in Point Pleasant during 1966-67 weren't
limited to appearances of the Mothman. "There were
mutilated dogs, UFO sightings, and other things going on," says
Coleman. And that's where John Keel, a longtime friend of
Coleman's and author of the book The Mothman Prophecies, came
in.
"About a month after , John Keel got an
assignment to go there as a news reporter," explains Coleman.
"He sort of showed up, had a very low kind of profile; John was
on a contract to write a book about UFOs."
As Keel began to talk to people and gather information, the
journalist found himself getting more deeply involved in the
events, to the extent that "There were entities that
communicated with John by phone." Coleman explains that as Keel
analyzed the events, he found Point Pleasant to be "a vortex of
phenomena, and couldn't really tell one from the other. It was a
scary situation for John."
