In Point Pleasant, West Virginia, there is a myth, as they say, but I call it a legend. Mothman.
I am a photographer; I take many pictures of things, mostly people, nature, etc. One day while driving through WV, I saw a bridge. A very large "bird" thing was on top of it. The thing had bright red eyes, as if it wasn't really even a bird. I researched it and found out it was called the Mothman, and that many other people had seen it as well.

A few weeks went by as I wondered about that strange creature. I saw it in my dreams. Then, one night, while I was shooting pictures of a dark and scary place, I heard something that sounded like it was circling around me, flying. I looked up and all I could see were red eyes. I ran to my car and it followed. As I got back into town, somebody had a shirt on depicting the creature, with those red scary eyes.
I then started wondering if the thing was stalking me since I had a picture of it, or if it was possibly just wanting something from me. The first picture I saw of it showed something somebody found that a Native Indian had made. So has this Mothman been alive for over a hundred years? Is it even possible that it's a man who had something happen to him?
The thing chased me in my car. I was going 75 and it was right on top of me, so it can fly as fast as my car and probably even faster. I really don't want to upload my picture of the Mothman, in case something or someone will get frightened or mad. I have two pictures of it, but I don`t want to post them because they are frightening. Here is a picture I found that looks like the Mothman hanging from a bridge.
Some say that the Mothman still lives today near the Golden Gate Bridge. Keep a good eye on him if you live. He only shows up when disasters are about to happen.
