Trevor CollinsHOST
where you guys did that ghost hunt but this was in the 1960s and witnesses reported seeing a human-like figure with large expansive wings and the big thing was piercing red eyes kind of swooping out of the dark we give the entire story about the teens that are driving and drifting through the forest when they see this creature at an old factory but there have been several sightings reported since then and this led newspapers to dub the creature mothman just because of the nature of its eyes and its wings and it had some antennae and other proboscis.
