point pleasant west virginia so mothman mothman is a great that's another example of a story that um pops up all over under different names in maine uh here in new england the top of mount katahdin which is the tallest mountain in maine and it is the start or end depending on which way you go of the um uh, the Appalachian Trail, uh, it's, there's a creature called the Pomola, which is a, a, a half man, half bird that is supposedly guards the top.
J
63:00Jeff BelangerGUEST
And there's even a trail called like the Pomola Trail.
J

Yeah, so the Thunderbirds, the F-16s have a Thunderbird painted underneath it, and the Thunderbird in Southwestern Native American culture is the same as the Pomola, is very similar to the Mothman, where you've got a half-man, a half-bird, that when they flap their wings, it's so big it claps like thunder.
