This week we have a story from Lori, with a possible Mothman Sighting from Southern Michigan back in 2019. It’s a pretty exciting story and I’m happy to be able to share it here. Also check out our original post on the Mothman for more information on the creature.
I’ve shared this story before. I am reluctant to share again, I am sure it will sound like I’m bat shit crazy, but the truth is, this happened without a doubt.
I live in Southern Michigan, USA. A couple of years ago back in 2019. I was on my way home from a friend’s house. It was about 11pm. I was alone in my F150 truck. I was sitting at a red light about a mile from home. I was completely sober. No drinking/No drugs. No other cars at the intersection, just me. As I waited for the light to turn green, something fluttering caught my eye in my rear view mirror. At first I thought a big bird, but as I continued to stare, I saw this was no bird. It was huge. Flying about 6-8 feet above the road behind me, heading directly at me. Probably a good city block behind. I saw it’s wings flapping. As it got closer, I could see each wing was about a 6 ft. span. It had a human type body. It was all black. I was frozen in fear. I may have even stopped breathing. My mind raced to try and justify what I was seeing. My eyes quickly darted around looking for flags, banners, some something that possibly created this image I was seeing on the road. There was nothing. It just about reached the bed of my truck when the light turned green, I broke my stare, and I floored it out of there. Funny how your mind races and your body freezes while trying to justify what your seeing. That was the most awful fear I ever experienced. When I got home I was trembling. Reality set in. To this day I still don’t know what the hell it was that I saw…. I searched the net to give you an idea of that I saw. I know, I know what this sounds like but, I never saw it again, and I hope I never do.
This story gave me goosebumps just reading it. It’s also exciting because it’s a more recent sighting. I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about Mothman sightings in the Illinois and Michigan areas. Maybe this is where it is living these days? Let me know what you think in the comments!
