3 bored former HS buddies waiting to be drafted started that Mothman business, outside of Point Pleasant WV. I was small boy when it started. Did you know the 'Curse of Cornstalk' took the Silver Bridge down the next year? Some loons blamed that tragedy on the Mothman, too, but he was in the Army.
Got to beware of those, they think they can't get down. When I was a boy a friend and I asked his Dad if we could borrow his ladder to get theirs down. His Dad said, "Have you two ever seen a dead cat in tree? Leave it alone." The cat was down when we walked back. That man was wise.
This triggered a memory. Our Bengal grand-cat wasn't allowed outside bcause he'd revert to a feral state. He yearned to go out. When he was dying of cancer & too weak to run, his humans took him out for a make-a-wish adventure, even lifting him into a tree. His eyes & whiskers tell the story. 💚
