Red eyes over the TNT area
Mothman · McClintic Wildlife Area, WV · 2026-08-15 · reported by Carla D.
published · credibility 89/100
Driving past the old igloos just after ten. Two red lights rose above the treeline and crossed the road without a sound — no engine, no flapping. My headlights caught a shape like a man with wings folded. It matched every Mothman description I had ever read: red reflective eyes, huge wingspan, silent flight. I sat in the car for five minutes before I could drive on.
