There have been movies about the Moth Man. But he appeared throughout the area back in the 1960's. Scaring people along the Ohio River from Taylor County, West Virginia down to Point Pleasant, WV. The Taylor County Sherriff formed an 80 man horseback posy back in the Mid 60's to hunt him down.
The area in Taylor County is the Tygart River that feeds water to the Ohio River. The Valley Falls SP is there. The Indians called those falls " The Evil Spirt Falls"! That area and to the south was taboo to the Indians.
The sitings stopped with the Silver Bridge collapse at Point Pleasant WV that killed about 50 people. Many people claimed the Moth Man was there at the collapse. Point Pleasant is home of the Moth Man Museum. Towns along the area have summer Moth Man Festivals.
BTW...to this day sadly, the Evil Spirt Falls records multiple drownings every year.
