[glow=blue,2,300]I don't know if this 'being' classifies as a 'cryptid' by strictest definition, but I find the 'creature' 'Mothman' to be very fascinating for several reasons.
Ever since I saw the incredible injustice that was the remake of the "Amityville Horror," I now tend to pour out a few gallows of salt whenever a movie proposes to be 'based on actual events,' but the movie "The Mothman Prophecies" is, at very least, an interesting starting-point about the topic of Mothman. However, if you delve father into the actual stories and reports, it's far more scary/creepy than what is depicted in the movie.
The sheer number of residents of the Mount Pleasant area who reported events and/or contacts with the "Mothman" assures me that there's no question there were multiple witnesses to this creature. There are also reports of such a creature appearing in other countries, most notably a similar report that Sherb posted once that made the topic even more thought-provoking. I'll post links if anyone's interested.[/glow]
