Michigan’s Mothman: Is This Terrifying Creature Fact or Fiction?

The story of the moth man is one of the more creepier urban legends out there.

Small Town Monsters launched their own investigation into the Mothman sightings that spread around Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Is the Mothman real? Seth Breedlove and Heather Moser pull at the threads of one of the most bizarre paranormal mysteries of the last decade.
