Mothman is the name given to a moth-like creature, originally seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from November 15, 1966 to December 15, 1967. Since then, it has been seen before, during or after massive disasters. Above is an image taken from the horrific attacks of 9/11- several eyewitnesses captured photographs of a large, black, flying beast, fleeing from the towers just as the first plane hit.
