This week, we’re focusing solely on the universally agreed upon encounter with the Mothman. On November 15, 1966, quite possibly one of the most important encounters with anomalous phenomena took place when two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette, told police they saw a large grey creature whose eyes "glowed red" when the car's headlights picked it up. This encounter would set the tone for a year of terrifying encounters and light a wildfire of controversy all over the country. This is the encounter that drew John Keel to Point Pleasant and made the Mothman a household name. MARY HYER MADE A DECISION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD!Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week. This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive content:Violence Against AnimalsHigh Stress SituationsHigh Speed PursuitHypnosisCheck it Out!Mothmen 1966https://store.steampowered.com/app/1755030/Mothmen_1966/Bigfoothttps://www.bigfootplay.com/Mothman Archivehttps://archive.wvculture.org/history/notewv/mothman.htmlWoodrow Derenberger Interviewhttps://youtu.be/k7p06V3JrlkVisitors from Lanuloshttps://a.co/d/aMSrMgrThe Mothman Prophecies: A True StoryJohn KeelCheck this out on AmazonStrange Creatures From Time and SpaceJohn KeelCheck this out on AmazonThe Silver BridgeGray BarkerCheck this out on AmazonReal Monsters, Gruesome Critters, and Beasts from the DarksideBrad SteigerCheck this out on AmazonMothman: The Facts Behind The LegendJeff WamsleyCheck this out on AmazonSmall Town Monsters: The Mothman Trilogyhttps://www.smalltownmonsters.com/shop/iik9sw349cgim4k4mzc9lkxppt19i3Adverts!Support Campfire on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettlingSatisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702Join the conversation on social media atwww.campfirepodcastnetwork.com Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rzInstagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcastGoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplbTwitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcastVisit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info:https://linktr.ee/CampfirepodcastSpecial Thanks:Gregg Martin for music contributions!
