Those "red eyes" look like the tail lights of a 64 Ford Falcon.
I love listening to your storys , and your voice it's so soft and smooth. 😊
Poor Bandit. 😭💕
I'm curious if the Mothman has ever been seen outside the US.
I’m going to listen to this tonight as we are staying in Broadstairs, Kent UK tonight.
Just wanted to let you know that you're one of my favorite channels. I always play your videos while at work and listen to them on my buds.
C’est une histoire très insolite, que je ne connaissais que très vaguement 😮… Vous entendre nous la narrer sans rien omettre, fait froid dans le dos 😱, je ne sais pas mais c'est quelque chose qui a mon avis doit laisser un souvenir fort désagréable, du genre que l’on aime pas trop se remémorer… This is very Strange. 🙏❤️👍

Oohh one of my favorite cryptids! I love Mothman.
I’m always very intrigued to know any connections between the UK & the US . Unexpectedly the mothman, the most odd.
If I want to listen to ABS I have watched TV
It's funny, here I am listening to the start of an interesting story, then you mention the sponsor, and then I'm like 'oh yeah, those mask are fuckin' awesome'!
The Partridge Family????😂😂😂 Also, the dog should be inside folks.
As Hecklefish often says, there’s always a book.
This was a great episode and I absolutely love this channel. I’m definitely one of the bunch who fall asleep listening to these spooky stories before bedtime too lol
Speak louder!
Demons who can take almost any form are responsible for all these sightings i do believe they're living amongst us only in different dimensions
Thanks didn't know Mothman had a British cousin
Country roads take me home
“I saw it with my own two eyes!” type of situation 15:18

Wow. What was happening on the day that I was born!! Have heard of the mothman story before. Anther captivating listen. ❤
i heard mothman had a dead dog by him when the second group saw n were chased by it
Probably just excited sightings of sandhill cranes or large owls. Why are you taking these wild stories at face value?
A crow? Is that England's version of the US's usual suspect, the infamous Sandhill crane?
Wiley winged menaces!
The Truth Behind the Wings
Operation Nocturne began in the late 1950s at a clandestine facility in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The aim? To create a hybrid soldier capable of high-altitude surveillance and silent nocturnal flight. Using a mix of human, avian, and unknown DNA (allegedly obtained from a mysterious “meteorite crash” in 1947), scientists attempted to splice the genetics of a hawk and a human, enhancing vision, speed, and stealth.
The result was a humanoid entity with glowing red eyes (designed for night vision), leathery wings, and superhuman strength. Code-named “MOTH” (Mobile Optical Tactical Harbinger), the creature was intended to infiltrate Soviet territories, gather intelligence, and return undetected.
The Escape and Cover-Up
In November 1966, just as the final phase of the project was about to begin, the MOTH prototype escaped the facility after a power surge caused a containment breach. Witnesses reported seeing a “giant winged figure” around Point Pleasant, sparking the first Mothman sightings. Local residents’ accounts were initially dismissed as hysteria or pranks, but the government dispatched “cleanup teams” under the guise of investigating “wildlife disturbances.”
The MOTH’s rogue behavior escalated when it began exhibiting signs of cognitive malfunction—erratic flight patterns, attempts to communicate with humans, and unprovoked acts of aggression. The infamous Silver Bridge collapse in 1967, often attributed to the Mothman as an omen, was allegedly the result of the creature attacking a weak structural point. Documents hint that the government used the bridge disaster to eliminate eyewitnesses and further bury the project.
I like your stories bro.
I have a feeling that our governments know things we don’t about these strange creatures things that will prob change the way we look at the world they are out there
Love your videos ❤
Circhular in shape
Weird
Yessss Mothman, objectively one of the hottest of the cryptids
I really enjoy your content thank you 🎉❤
Bandit was fine. He just ran away from a horrible family that didn’t let him inside like they should have.
