On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette—told police they were chased by a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red". They described it as a flying man with 10-foot wings and said it followed their car while they were driving in an area of town known as the "the TNT area", the site of a former World War II munitions plant. This creature came to be known as "Mothman" and has since been blamed for everything from causing TV static to killing pets to even a bridge collapse. Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand claims the creature was something real and frightening, but explainable, that got woven into local legends. Others have claimed the creature was a UFO, some a large owl and others say it's a large American Crane.
What do you think the Mothman is?

On this day:
MOTHMAN
On November 15, 1966, in West Virginia, two couples were driving by an abandoned explosives factory when a seven-foot-tall, gray-skinned creature with folded wings began moving on humanlike legs toward them. Menacing red eyes stared out from a neckless head. Driver Roger Scarberry tromped on the gas and sped away. Undaunted, the demon flew beside the couple's car, gliding on ten-foot, batlike wings, at 99 mph (160 kph). Its high-pitched sounds sent shivers down the couples' spines. Investigating later, the police found only electrical interference on their radios. Media christened the character Mothman, after the popular comic-book character Batman. A second sighting was reported in the town that same night, and a third, from 62 miles (100 kilometers) away, in the country.
Building contractor Newell Partridge watched his television screen become covered with a herringbone pattern as a high-pitched revving noise erupted from the speakers. His dog, Bandit, began to go berserk. Partridge went outside. Pointing his flashlight in the direction of the barn, the man and the dog saw a large, looming figure with smoldering red eyes. Bandit bolted toward the beast while Partridge went for his gun. By the time the builder could bring himself to step outdoors again, all that remained of his pet were pawprints. "There were no other tracks," he said.
In November 1967, three people with a baby were returning to their car when the Mothman, wings wide, rose before them. Everyone hustled back to the house. The Mothman followed them as far as the porch and peered through the windows as they huddled together inside. The first people who saw the phenomenon in 1961 remained silent because the story was unbelievable.
The Mothman was featherless, and its wings never flapped; his face was never described, and he took off vertically "like a helicopter." Between 1966 and 1967, more than 100 people encountered the creature; many of them sought medical attention afterwards.

Perhaps the most famous of America's cryptids, the ominous Mothman. The entity has garnered quite the reputation, even having a yearly festival dedicated to it in Point Pleasant.
