I don't remember much else.. Could be a tale to scare kids idk... But with my aunt passing I was thinking about my grandparents and remembered that story.. Wondered if it couldn't be skunk ape he was referring to? The one I saw had deep set eyes, I wouldn't call them big
Anyone else heard of big eyes?
I am originally from Florida and I have heard of this. But I was under the impression that it was more of an owl type creature, like Mothman. But to be honest, I am not sure why I thought that. I don't remember anyone ever telling it to me. I tried looking it up online and could find anything. So I am not sure.

Yeah that sounds right. I just can't remember the story or where I even heard it.

You know what... I think you're right the owl type creature rings bells.. I think he swoops from the trees and carries you off... Wish I could remember everything :(

I'm in wv, where this gothic bigbird is supposed to be, and I ain't never seen an owl bigger than 2 foot, but I know a lot about him. I'll try to find pictures, and get you the full scoop..
he first sighting of the supposed Mothman occurred on November 12, 1966. A group of gravediggers working in a cemetery in Clendenin, West Virginia saw the figure fly through the air, right over their heads. Other people began seeing the same creature, which they described as looking like a man with wings.
On November 15 two different couples in Point Pleasant had their own firsthand encounters with the Mothman. They claimed it was at least six foot tall, and closer to seven feet tall. They also described its bright eyes, and the huge wings on its back. The four saw the creature fly through the air after first unfolding its large wings. They also claimed the creature flew at speeds of at least 100 miles per hour.
Police began receiving reports from all over. People kept calling with reports of a strange bird seen in the area. One man in the area, Newell Partridge saw his television screen turn fuzzy with colors he had never seen before. At the same time his dog began howling loudly, and a loud screeching sound came from outside. When he walked outside, he saw two glowing red eyes just before whatever it was flew off into the night. Almost immediately his dog raced after it, and didn't return.
The popularity of the creature continued to grow, as news stations and papers around the world caught on. Dozens of locals continued to tell the stories of what they saw, and everyone clamored for even the smallest piece of information. In the end the press dubbed the creature the Mothman, partly based on the hit television show Batman running at the time.
Many of the stories of the Mothman centered on a former TNT plant that sat empty and abandoned on the edge of town. The building sat in the middle of a wooded area, where few people tended to venture. Nearby was an animal preserve, and some believed the Mothman could find food there and blend in with the other animals in the area. There were also stories that the creature had hid there for years before finally being seen .
That should do it. Pics in replies.
