One of the more mysterious urban legends within the United States is that of The Mothman, a mysterious creature that brought about a series of strange events in or around the area of Point Pleasant, WV in the mid-60’s. The subject was enough to create a film titled The Mothman Prophecies, which came out in 2002.
Now, producer/director Seth Breedlove and executive producer lyle Blackburn have teamed up for The Mothman of Point Pleasant, a documentary that will investigate the 13-month period of odd occurrences. It will also peer into the history of the town itself and how it was forever changed by the sightings of the Mothman.
The Mothman of Point Pleasant will be available on Vimeo OnDemand, Amazon, iTunes and most major streaming platforms on June 2nd.
Pre-orders for a DVD can be found right here.
Synopsis:
On June 2nd learn the terrifying, true story about thirteen months that changed history! In November of 1966 a car full of kids encountered a creature unlike anything they’d ever seen before. In the weeks and months to follow, the monster (now known as The Mothman) was sighted again and again on country roads and around the state of West Virginia. As the sightings continued so did an increase in unusual activity.
At the center of this bizarre series of events was the town of Point Pleasant, WV. A small burb situated on the banks of the Ohio river with a lengthy history of what many might call bad luck. Over the next thirteen months Point Pleasant would undergo one of the strangest outbreaks of paranormal activity the world has ever seen. An outbreak that eventually ended in tragedy.
