00:00:47,200 the street 18 00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,760 we did that and we were headed back home 19 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,600 we came up over a hill and when we got 20 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,360 down almost to the stop sign 21 00:00:57,670 --> 00:00:55,680 that's when i saw it it was like a human 22 00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,680 figure but with big wings the feet and 23 00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:59,440 toes were pointed to the ground and had 24 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,480 scrunny legs 25 00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,800 but muscled at the calf the feet were 26

were still closed the creatures 30 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,600 wings looked like they were made of skin 31 00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:13,600 were really pointy and they were past 32 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,680 its head the creature just looked like 33 00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:17,200 somebody getting ready to dive 34 00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:18,880 off of something like they have their 35 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,439 hands out the wings were over top of it 36 00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,119 and they were pulled in like wrapped 37 00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:25,360 around it the wings weren't as long as 38 00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:26,320 the body 39 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:28,080 they came out over the head but were 40 00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,600 shorter than the legs 41 00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:31,520 his head was really little and round 42 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,360 kind of pointed but round 43 00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,600 about 100 feet from the stop sign to the 44 00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,759 right is a grove of tall trees 45 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:39,680 about two to three acres of big tall 46 00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:41,920 trees that's where i saw it 47 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:44,159 it looked like it had leaped or dove it 48 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,840 was higher than the street lights but 49 00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:48,000 not real high midway over the road but 50 00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:49,119 in the sky 51 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:50,960 the life in the softball field littered 52 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,960 some it didn't look like the creature 53 00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:54,640 had any fur feathers 54 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,560 it was bigger than a bird it didn't look 55 00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:58,399 like a bird it was blacker than the 56 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,600 night itself 57 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,439 when i saw it it was kind of like 58 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:02,960 jeepers creepers 59 00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:05,040 i was going to get my phone out but then 60 00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:06,799 i thought what if it sees me and tries 61 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:08,080 to come after me 62 00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:09,920 i'd never seen or read about anything 63 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:11,599 like that until i looked it up to see if 64 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:13,520 anybody else had seen any other bad 65 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:14,480 looking humans 66 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,160 it was a shock to see something like 67 00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:18,400 that it is a little scary to go out at 68 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:20,840 night and know something like that's out 69 00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:28,869 the following account was forwarded to 70 00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:31,120 phantoms and monsters 40 in research and 71 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:33,280 the singular fortian society 72 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,200 investigator tobias wayland 73 00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,440 spoke recently with two sisters who said 74 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:41,360 they saw a strange flying creature in 75 00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:43,200 late august of this year near the site 76 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,800 where another woman said she'd seen a 77 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,959 black humanoid figure with very large 78 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,800 wings and legs last october 79 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:50,879 in cape girardeau missouri this is 80 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,150 second large black winged humanoid 81 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,239 observed in cape girardeau missouri 82 00:03:02,229 --> 00:03:00,400 the two women were driving at about six 83 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,239 o'clock in the evening on lexington 84 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:04,400 avenue and had just passed sprig street 85 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,760 when they had their encounter 86 00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:07,760 which took place only about a mile from 87 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:09,920 the previously reported sighting 88 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:12,800 beverly 67 was behind the wheel while 89 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:13,440 brenda 90 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:17,760 looking at her phone when she heard her 91 00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:18,800 sister exclaim 92 00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:21,519 what was that i was on my phone i heard 93 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,800 her and i looked up 94 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,720 i got a good look at it but i didn't 95 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,640 really know what i was looking at 96 00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:28,480 it seemed like it was just across the 97 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:29,680 road and gone 98 00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:31,840 there was no place for it to land said 99 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:34,080 brenda she described the creature as 100 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,920 being big and blackish brownish 101 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:37,920 more brown than black but dark and 102 00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,000 shaped like nothing i've ever seen 103 00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:42,319 i saw a lot of movement like wings i saw 104 00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,080 more of that than anything else 105 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:46,319 i'd say it was five or six feet tall 106 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,440 maybe bigger 107 00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:49,519 i was kind of rationalizing what i was 108 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:50,480 looking at 109 00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,480 there were no feet i just saw a big 110 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,319 brown mass basically 111 00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,560 but it did feel like i saw movement like 112 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,640 wings or something brenda said 113 00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,720 i saw whipping fluttering motion and it 114 00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:02,400 looked like it almost took up the whole 115 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:03,040 route 116 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:04,879 it probably didn't but that's what it 117 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,080 looked like to me 118 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,159 i honestly wondered at first if it was a 119 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,239 big throw rug flying across the road and 120 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,920 whipping up in the wind or something but 121 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,280 there was no wind 122 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,599 it wasn't a stormy day or anything i 123 00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,000 said oh my god we saw mothman 124 00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,479 however said brenda her sister beverly 125 00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,639 saw much more of the thing than she did 126 00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,560 according to beverly it looked like it 127 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,080 might have come from the side of the 128 00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,000 road there are some trees there but 129 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:30,320 it was fully in our vision in the car it 130 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,199 wasn't high 131 00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,720 it was maybe eight feet off of the 132 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:34,720 ground you could see underneath it you 133 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:35,919 could see over it 134 00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:38,400 it was probably five to six feet long 135 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,680 and it was brown 136 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,360 it didn't look like it had feathers to 137 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,600 me it looked like it had membranes 138 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,360 it looked like it had webbed membranous 139 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,600 wings and there were a lot of wings 140 00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:49,680 some were flapping they were ribbed like 141 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,720 umbrellas 142 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,720 it didn't look like a pterodactyl but it 143 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:54,560 looked like those kind of wings 144 00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,960 it was probably 10 to 15 feet ahead of 145 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,639 us and it was flying 146 00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:01,120 i didn't see a person like a body shape 147 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,720 but it certainly could have been a thin 148 00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:04,240 something that was long 149 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:05,919 beverly said the creature looked like 150 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:07,680 something was shrouded in this bunch of 151 00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,400 wings 152 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,320 it taught skinnier towards the last two 153 00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,320 feet like they were wrapped around 154 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:14,560 to me it looked like a body shrouded in 155 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:17,120 wings it was definitely wings of some 156 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:17,600 sort 157 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,280 and they looked like they were meat not 158 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:21,600 feathers i didn't see any limbs 159 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:24,400 i didn't see a head the 67 year old 160 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:26,080 described the wings moving in an 161 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,360 undulating fashion 162 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,840 like a wave the wings were moving she 163 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,800 explained 164 00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,639 it looked like it had taken off and it 165 00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,400 had these little wings throughout 166 00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:36,800 the way it flew was weird it didn't use 167 00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,080 all of its wings at one 168 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:40,400 time it was the strangest thing i've 169 00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:41,360 ever seen 170 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,919 it rippled kind of neither woman was 171 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:45,520 able to tell where the creature went 172 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,440 after it flew across the road 173 00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:49,600 i was driving so i didn't see where it 174 00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:51,120 went beverly said 175 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,039 i don't know why we didn't try to stop 176 00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:55,360 and look some more but it was scary 177 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,919 i think that's why as for brenda she 178 00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:59,600 didn't see as much as beverly 179 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:02,319 because she just looked up and glanced i 180 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,840 didn't see all that detail 181 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:06,000 she said i did see a glimpse of the 182 00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,360 fluttering wing or something 183 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,680 but not all the detailed beverly saw 184 00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:11,440 although the sighting lasted only 185 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:12,479 several seconds 186 00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,720 both women stuck by their story despite 187 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:16,880 the skepticism expressed by those close 188 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:17,360 to them 189 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:19,360 and emphasized that they did not wish to 190 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:21,759 embellish their testimony in any way 191 00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,919 in fact if it wasn't for brenda's son 192 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:25,759 mentioning the report from october 193 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,520 they may never have reported their own 194 00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:29,360 sighting brenda said that 195 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:31,280 following their sighting everybody was 196 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:32,960 saying oh you saw an owl 197 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,440 or whatever i just shut up because 198 00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:37,759 everybody was acting like i'm crazy 199 00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:39,680 we went home kind of scared and 200 00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:41,440 beverly's family acted like we were 201 00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,319 crazy 202 00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,240 i honestly don't know how i could shut 203 00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:46,560 up about it because i know what i saw 204 00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:49,120 i just kind of let it go until my son 205 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:50,880 said that people started seeing it 206 00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,360 she explained what makes this so funny 207 00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:55,599 or odd is that my son messaged me and 208 00:06:57,909 -->

doing nothing at all 242 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,440 we decided to stop at that convenience 243 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:13,520 store across the street from the skate 244 00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:16,160

--> 00:08:21,759 finish grabbing their stuff 248 00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,520 when we saw something moving in the 249 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:25,039 trees behind us 250 00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:26,720 we thought that it was just someone 251 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,240 walking until we saw 252 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,720 that it had red eyes we laughed thinking 253 00:08:34,310 --> 00:08:32,800 it was someone with a mask on trying to 254 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:34,320 prank us until we saw 255 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:36,719 that it must have been like seven feet 256 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,120 we decided to walk over to the bushes 257 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,279 and see if it was someone trying to pull 258 00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,599 a bad halloween prank on us 259 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:45,440 we walked over and that's when we 260 00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,959 started hearing a sound 261 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:48,880 that sounded like a baby when they are 262 00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,120 crying it was really high pitch 263 00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:53,279 but still sounded like a baby when they 264 00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:54,160 cry 265 00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:56,720 as we got like closer it got louder and 266 00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:58,880 louder till we were about five to six 267 00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,600 feet from it 268 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,839 when we saw it shoot up into the trees 269 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,200 and into the air 270 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:05,519 we all jumped and screamed as this thing 271 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,959 took off into the air 272 00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:09,839 still staring at us and was gone we all 273 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:11,519 ran back toward the store 274 00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:13,440 and told our other friends who had just 275 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:14,959 come from inside 276 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,120 they told us to get off the drugs and 277 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:19,360 that it was probably an owl or some kind 278 00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:20,399 of bird 279 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:22,800 we all walked over to the skating park 280 00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,080 and jumped the fence 281 00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:26,480 and went to hang out inside sitting on 282 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:28,080 the edge of the bowl talking 283 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:30,080 and watching our friends skate around 284 00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:31,519 inside the bowl 285 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:33,440 we had been there like an hour when we 286 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:35,519 heard the same sound again coming from 287 00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:36,720 behind us 288 00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:38,640 we all heard it and we turned to see the 289 00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,480 same red eyes up in the tree on the 290 00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:42,399 other side of the fence we had jumped to 291 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:43,279 get in 292 00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:45,360 we all sat there watching it for a few 293 00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:47,519 seconds when it flew back up into the 294 00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:47,920 air 295 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:50,160 and we were able

00:09:57,279 a lechuza and we all freaked out 299 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:59,600 we watched as it flew over us twice and 300 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,600 then flew off into the night 301 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:03,600 we all jumped the fence and walked home 302 00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:05,360 as fast as we could 303 00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:07,760 the entire time we were walking home we 304 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:09,680 were completely freaked the hell out 305 00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,000 and we heard the same sound three times 306 00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:13,839 but it always seemed to be from above 307 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,040 and behind us 308 00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:17,360 we got home and we all crashed at our 309 00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,320 friend's house 310 00:10:21,910

plant and we 351 00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,079 seemed that it looked like a tall man 352 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,399 with really big wings it flew off toward 353 00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:46,399 the
