Summary

Darkness Radio presents Mothman: Sightings and Investigations of the Iconic Flying Cryptid with Paranormal Investigators/Authors, Richard Estep and Tobias Wayland!


When a large, winged humanoid with glowing red eyes was spotted in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the Mothman legend was born. Since that fateful November night, the flying cryptid has become one of the most famous monsters of all time.

Richard Estep and renowned Mothman researcher Tobias Wayland document firsthand witness accounts and conduct detailed investigations with the hope of seeing the iconic cryptid themselves. This book chronicles their discoveries, which include large concentrations of sightings in the Chicago and Lake Michigan area. They delve into the science of Mothman, where he may reside and travel, and much more.

From the encounter at Dufield Pond to the Van Meter Visitor, Mothman presents terrifying experiences with the black, red-eyed creature that no one―including you―will ever forget.

Richard and Tobias join Darkness Radio today to talk about their new book, about the theories of Charles Fort and John Keel.  They talk about some of the more famous Mothman cases and festivals, and then talk about why one should be skeptical of a Mothman sighting and what one could be seeing instead!
