Mothman makes BoingBoing

Boing Boing: Mothman Festival

Point Pleasant, West Virginia just hosted its annual Mothman Festival, a celebration of the creepy cryptid that some claim visited the town in the mid-1960s and brought a trail of Fortean weirdness with it. The first festival took place in 2002 after the release of The Mothman Prophecies film, based loosely on John Keel's classic 1975 book.
