Well, maybe I just need to visit during this festival!

Quote
Mothman's local origins lie in a late-night sighting in 1966, when two young couples reported seeing — and being chased by — a towering winged humanoid creature just outside of town.


Every September, the streets in this tiny town along West Virginia's border with Ohio are taken over by Mothman, a mysterious creature that, like Bigfoot, has inspired books, movies, podcasts and devoted fans.

It's the 2025 Mothman Festival, and many attendees are in costume, walking beneath giant inflatables ranging from Mothman — with filigreed wings and bulging red eyes — to the Ghostbusters Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. For an event celebrating a dark and mysterious being, the vibe is surprisingly uplifting.

Yeah, just visit. I don't think you want to live there. Not many do.

You would be great as one of clueless college students in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
Try not to throw yourself into the wood-chipper.

Tucker: All right... I know what this is.
Dale: What?
Tucker: This is a suicide pact.
Dale: It's a what?
Tucker: These kids are coming out here, and killing themselves all over the woods.
Dale: My God, that makes so much sense.

Nice! It would be fun dressing up and taking part in their events! Mind you, I am a little worried that since it is a Mothman, do you think that it eats clothes?! What do Mothmen eat?! :rofl:
