Kentucky Wolfman part 2

Continued from part 1: If all accounts of these creatures are true and accurate is there a pack or community of them? Perhaps one day solid proof will be obtained and they will cease to be a cryptid and will become an actual documented species. ADDITIONAL SIGHTING: In 1999 a couple in Moorehead Kentucky attempted to photograph what they said were two of these creatures. They were in a clearing near Hwy 60. The couple became frightened however and left before the photograph could be taken. Accounts of this nature are what lead me to believe that there is possibly a pack, community or some type of family unit.

Kentucky Wolfman

Since 1944 folks in rural Kentucky have been reporting sightings of a gigantic wolf like creature that walks upright. This bipedal animal seems to making appearances in several areas of the state. One man described it as looking like a cross between a bear and a gorilla. The sightings seem to come mostly from the flatlands of the state and the eastern mountainous region. Some have described it as having a white or grayish looking coat. It's height seems to be that of an average man according to these reports and of the same proportion. It's hands (?)have long claws and the feet are somewhat like a humans but configured more like a canine. It seems to be very aggressive. In 1944 a boy reported being attacked by this fearsome creature. The boy said he had been fishing and a silver gray wolf like creature came out of the woods and went after the fish he had previously caught. The boy was reported to have been treated for deep cuts from an animal attack and shock. Another report came in 1972. A hunter reported in the hospital that he was attacked from behind by something. He had deep claw marks on his back and legs. He said he did not get a good look at the creature but described what he did see as white or light gray with long fingernails or claws. He said he might have been killed if he had not fallen on the ground and lain very still making the creature think he was dead. There have been several attempts to hunt and kill or capture the creature but it seems to be very elusive and can easily escape those that pursue it. It seems to possess above average canine intelligence. In the 1980s two lawmen were investigating a sighting in the Ashland Cemetery and were cornered by this animal. They said it came within thirty feet of them and paced back and forth growling until it got bored and retreated back into the cemetery. In 2001 a couple were driving down a deserted road in Greenup County. They reported the beast came running down the road toward them. Instead of avoiding the vehicles, it just jumped right over them and went on it's way. In 2005 a man went outside to investigate a strange noise and saw what he thought was a child but realized soon that the three foot tall being was covered in hair and had a snout like a dog. When it saw the man watching it, it made a hasty retreat. This year the team from Mountain Monsters went to Hazleton Kentucky to investigate a very recent sighting. A man out hunting in the woods obtained video footage of the creature walking in the tree line at a distance. The footage showed an upright biped animal a good six or seven feet tall, walking through the woods and disappearing into the tree line. During their visit to Hazleton, other people came forth with accounts of finding tracks. These tracks were larger than an average man's hand and were canine. From the tracks the creature was judged to be in the three hundred fifty pound range! The team set up a steel drop trap and baited it with a live goat to try to capture the animal. Because it possessed an uncanny ability of eluding capture, they found tracks all around the traps triggering mechanism and the goat was not touched. If all accounts are accurate is there a pack or community of them? Perhaps one day solid proof will be obtained and they will cease to be a cryptid and w

Mothman part 2

The Mountain Monsters team from Destination America investigated a recent sighting in Mason County West Virginia. A local resident was out at night near a bridge close to his home and captured video footage of a big glowing eyed creature moving across the bridge. There is a statute of the Mothman in the town of Point Pleasant and every year from September 21st through the 22nd the annual Mothman festival takes place. What is this elusive creature with glowing eyes and spectral powers? How can the multitude of sightings of the Mothman be fabricated? I guess the answer remains to be seen.

The Mothman

Point Pleasant WV is probably best known for nothing other than the elusive, mysterious Mothman. There have been books written and movies based on this creature. The Mothman has appeared in folklore of the state. This supernatural, winged creature has been reported to have a twelve foot wingspan, is at least seven foot tall and has glowing red eyes. There have been a few accounts that claim to be the first sighting. One was in Salem West Virginia in 1966.Another source says that the first sighting was in Clendenin. West Virginia in 1966 in cemetery. Which ever sighting was actually first, 1966 was apparently the year tht Mothman began making appearances. The grave diggers who gave the account stated they saw a figure fly through the air over their heads. They said it looked like a man with wings. In Point Pleasant, police began receiving reports of a strange bird in the area. Four people saw the creature fly through the air describing it's big eyes and huge wings on its back. The creature had been moving at a speed of one hundred miles per hour. One man reported that his tv screen turned to static and strange colors. His dogs began howling. When he went to investigate, he saw two glowing red eyes. The thing flew off with the dog chasing behind. The dog never returned. Many locals came forth with stories of seeing the creature. The news spread to the press around the world. There was a monster in West Virginia. In 1967 the Mothman was sighted atop the Silver Bridge. A short while later the Silver Bridge, being of very sturdy construction, collapsed killing at least fourty six people. An investigation was conducted but there was no conclusive information as to why the bridge collapsed. There were rumors that the Mothmans lair was an abandoned TNT plant near an animal preserve in Point Pleasant. It was said that the creature hid there to avoid detection.One account came from a home near the TNT plant. A man and his family spotted a strange red light in the sky. Their first guess was that it was a plane. The small light circled the plant before disappearing into the roof of the building. There were five hundred reports in one weekend of weird lights and things spotted in the skies. Over one hundred reports came in in one year of actual Mothman sightings. Now the Mothman is associated with imminent disaster. The creature is supposedly seen right before something terrible happens.
