Mothman
The Mothman, Moth man, Point Pleasant Mothman
In November 1966, two young couples in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, told police they'd seen a tall winged figure with glowing red eyes near an old wartime explosives site. The newspapers named it Mothman, and the story has never quite gone away. Today the town has a shiny 12-foot metal statue, a museum and a Mothman Festival every September. In a dream, Mothman stands at the edge of the unexplained, a large, strange presence you can't quite place. It can also show how something eerie turns, over time, into a source of local pride.
Dream variations
- Posing with the Mothman statueThe thing people once whispered about can become a landmark. A quirk you used to hide could turn into part of your signature, so stop apologizing for it.
- Mothman at your windowYou and something unfamiliar are studying each other through the glass. Curiosity can run both ways, so take a good look before you decide what it is.
- Mothman perched on a rooftop, watching over the townYou've been looking after everyone from a distance, the one who spots trouble first but rarely joins the party. Come down from the roof now and then; people want your company, not only your warnings.
