Mothman
Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
Mothman, Kelly Bryant, 2016. Featuring West Virginia’s most famous cryptid, Mothman shows its namesake floating eerily above a bridge under a full moon. Though initially sighted in 1966, the legend of Mothman gripped the public after the 1967 collapse of Silver Bridge, near Henderson, WV, when several eyewitnesses reported seeing the cryptid at the site. Though not a narrative retelling of a Mothman myth — the Silver Bridge collapse occurred during the day — Bryant’s mural evokes the general mythos that surrounds the Mothman figure.
