Recommended. Ok, the US is filled with people, here and there, who claim to have seen UFO’s, aliens, and other paranormal phenomena. What’s interesting about the Mothman phenomenon is so many people in one small town saw it during a relatively narrow time period in the winter of 1966. Does this bolster the alleged reality of the sightings? Was it mass hypnosis? One of us is trained in ethical hypnosis techniques and we can tell you as a matter of fact, that it is statistically rare to find so many deep sonambules on one spot as to account for this type of phenomenon. Well, we find it interesting. This statute to the Mothman is here for a reason: it represents a composite of what so many people saw back in 1966. It’s worth a stop. Pix can be tough to get because of the wires and trees in the background. And an added plus? It’s right next to the Mothman museum. Don’t dismiss this place as a tourist rip off. It isn’t. It’s free. And wonder, while you’re here, how it is that so many in this place, from firefighters to police officers and more, saw a Mothman.

This is an awesome statue in my opinion, but I am from West Virginia so I may be biased. This statue was put in place to remember the falling of the Silver Bridge between WV and OH. There was a lot of weird happenings concerning the bridge: UFOs, Men in Black, and this mysterious mothman. I know a man that looks like a moth… someone is drinking some moonshine haha, but this«mothman» has been spotted all over the world before more huge tragedies such as this one. I would encourage anyone to come look at the bridge, the statue, maybe even some of the places he was spotted, it is a good piece of our weird history. The artist that created our mothman statue passed away a short time ago, I hope his statue stands and impresses many more generations to come.

Possibly one of the greatest landmarks I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. I really think the detailed chest hair brings the mothman to life in all of his glory.

I don’t know there is any piece of art I’ve ever wanted to see as badly as this monument to the infamous Mothman of Point Pleasant, WV. I’ve been interested in the Mothman since I was a child and first read about him in a Disney Adventures magazine. I was terrified and refused to sleep with my windows open for years! As an adult, I have a love, curiosity, and passion for Mothman that knows no bounds. I intentionally stayed in the Lowe Hotel in a room that overlooked the statue and I walked out every few hours to see it. It’s gorgeous, mysterious, and truly a landmark for those who enjoy the mysterious side of life. I hoped that perhaps my trip to Point Pleasant as a lifelong lover of the Mothman would lead to some sort of encounter with this being, but no dice this time. I’ll be back, Mothman. I’ll be back.

It is a statue, yes. But at times for those who are interested in the weird and unknown it is an object to make a pilgrimage too. Sure it is merely metal, glass and concrete… And compared to the historical descriptions it is far from accurate… But that’s just it, it is awesomeness!
