We were visiting a family in hurricane, wva, and dad had come to their call that they needed help with this "big bird thing". He was asked to bring all of his guns and all the ammo he had on hand. They said to buy more if he could. He thought it was a "mine war" or something and asked if he should bring other men, which they didn't. He was baffled why they could not handle a big bird but they said it wasn't just a big bird, it was humanlike. He laughed saying they were superstitious. After some explanation he loaded us all up in the car with overnight things, his guns and ammo and we set off for hurricane. We crossed the ohio river at gallipolis. I will state plainly that the silver bridge at that time was nothing less than a nightmare to cross. Most of the wva to ohio side was missing and i could see clear down to the river through it. The bridge was only open to one lane of traffic and only one car at a time was permitted to cross at one time according to the sign at the bridge. Each time a car would cross the bridge twisted wildly. Sitting in line waiting to cross, I looked at everything around me to keep my mind busy but then resorted to just allowing my mind to wander. The next thing I knew I was being held around the middle by one of my brothers as I was attempting to go out the car window! I was frantic to get out. Dad's voice calmed me down and he asked why I was so upset. I first told him I wasn't and why was everyone holding me horizontal like that. He said calmly that I'd been clawing to get out the window and was terrified by something. He calmly said for me to think about it and tell him why I might do that, what comes to mind first. The first thing that came to mind was that the bridge was going to go into the river and I had to get out. I felt an overwhelming urge to leap out of the car. I lept towards the door, grabbed the handle but the door was locked. I grabbed for the handle as someone yelled, "she's doing it again!". I realized at some point that my body was acting independent of my mind as if my mind was switched off. I found myself clawing my oldest brother in a bid to go out that half open window. Calmed down again dad asked me to "see" or try to think why I'd do such a thing. I said bluntly that the bridge was going in the river with alot of cars and people on it and there were presents all over the water. I heard myself saying that the bridge was lying in the river all twisted up. I wasn't crying per se but tears were pouring out my eyes and onto my clothes. I felt my face and asked a brother next to me if my face was bleeding. He said, "no stupid! you're crying!" I hit him in the arm and said I'd know if I was crying. I heard others say it was just tears on my face that were pouring out my eyes. Dad asked if we could cross safely that day. I let my mind find the answer and told him yes. I felt greatly relieved and didn't sweat crossing then. He asked me what would cause it to fall. I told him the bridge "abuttment" which was a strange word to me was crumbling. I could see it in my mind. I told him the last section on the other side would have a gap bigger than all the others had. So, we all looked for the gaps and found them regularly spaced except for that last one on the wva side. Mom gasped that I'd been exactly right. Dad and I got out on the other side to look and he had me take him to show him where it was crumbling. I had to walk a little ways to get a view of it but once there I pointed right to it. He asked if that was all and I let my mind look. My mind went to the bolts we could view from that side and I saw that one was missing there and another in another place on that span at the coming together of those two sections. I pointed to them to show him both. I didn't hear him for some time so I asked if he'd seen them. Still no answer and I turned around to see him writing things down while looking where I'd pointed and told him to look more closely. He began talking to himself that he had to get in touch with so and so as he'd take care of it, then no, not the right guy but that the right one would be so and so..... I asked to go back to the car but he stopped me and asked if we could get back across the bridge to go home ok. I let my mind look and saw that yes it would. He asked when it would come down and again I let my mind find the answer. I said about two weeks. Exactly, in about two weeks from that day it did go into the river. The day it fell in we saw it on the news. Mom asked me how I'd known this would happen. I'd forgotten the entire thing by then and thought she was nuts, lol. She acted like she was terrified of me. While we were in wva we stopped at these people's house near hurricane. They kept talking about this "big bird" and we kids just thought it was a big bird that they were afraid of. It was a bit of a laughing matter to mom and dad so we didn't concern outselves about it. On the side the adults got our attention distracted by having their kids take us up into the woods back of their house for a short walk. Their parents decided I was best suited to get their daughter to talk about her "friend" she'd been talking to up there for about two weeks by then. They suspected "he" was an imaginary friend since the people who lived up there never saw anyone with her up there. They said she'd stand there like she was talking to someone but no one was seen near her. She was maybe 8 and so I thought she's a bit old for that but hey, it's west virginia! These people are currently afraid of a big bird so who knows what they are all about! lol We were from Ohio and often told wva jokes to them and they told us ohio jokes. These jokes usually highlighted how stupid people in wv were compared ohioans and visa versa. Soon we'd find common ground as just plain kids and it didn't matter where we were from. So, the girl tells me up there that there are too many people up there and he won't come out. I asked if the older kids would leave us there and wait down below the hill and the tree line. They left and kept on going though. I set my younger brother with this girl's brother at the treeline and told him not to leave until I said it was ok or I'd beat him up. He stayed put to see what was going on. They were about 15 ft or so from us when the girl began saying he was there but don't look at him staight on or he'd be very angry. I played along. She said he talked to her mind not out loud. It sounded like an imaginary friend so I relaxed thinking this was going to be easy. After some time of her telling me he was there I told her I didn't believe he was real because I didn't hear him in my mind. She said she'd ask him out loud for my benefit if he'd talk to my mind too and I agreed this was ok. I began hearing this buzzy sounding male voice in my head which startled me. I thought maybe my mind was so curious that I wanted to hear him and so I did, my mind making it all up. I saw movement nearby and asked if I could move closer to it. I thought that she and her siblings and friends had constructed some sort of fake monster to scare us and a closer look would allow me to see it very clearly. I was allowed to move closer until she said to stop. I asked after conversing for some time with this male voice in my head if I could move a few more feet to look over the edge of this drop off where dirt had been moved for the driveway to this house. I asked him to have the girl tell me yes or not which she said yes. I hadn't asked any of this out loud though which made me curious. I moved and saw the drop off was about 8-10 ft there to the forest floor. Movement to my left caught my eye and my eyes followed to see what looked like huge yellowish orange bird feet with claws. Legs attached to these were a bright light green color and looked jointed like those of a heron or stork. I was very accustomed to being in the woods and out of doors, knowing birds, frogs, fish etc. So, this looked to be moving like a real bird. My mind said, no it can't be a bird because there are none that big. My mind said, this had to be fake. I was sure it was. I asked the girl out loud if I could look at her friend with more of my sight region since I said my sideways vision wasn't that good. A moment later she said it was ok so I moved my head to look at him nearly straight on. It had wings that were moving a bit like a puppet I thought. I saw a birds head, a neck collapsed down to the chest. I viewed the arms, the lower body, what little there was of it, and that's when I saw it take a breath in. Yes, it took in a breath. I thought that it had to be a movement of outside air causing this so I observed this breathing for some time. It appeared to be breathing in. The girl started talking out loud so I could hear her and I asked how she and her siblings got that thing up in the trees like that. She said they hadn't put it there, he came by himself. I looked all around the base of this thing but no one was around it. Thinking it was remotely manipulated I looked further out but there was no one. When it moved there was no movement from any of the surrounding area. I asked if I could look into his eyes as I knew this would tell me whether this thing was actually real or not. She said it was ok so I looked and saw to my utter horror that it was really real. There was no mistaking the look of a living creatures eyes or that it was sentient. It made eye contact with me. I felt a surge of energy come into my eyes from it and worked to steady my own spirit in response. I'd always been taught to pray in the spirit and talk with God while feeling it. I knew the feel of my own spirit. I ripped my conscienceness away from this flow of intense energy finally and asked the girl if this guy could tell me what he was here for. He answered my mind "before" the girl said the same thing, that he and his were here from another place in outerspace. Comic books came to mind but i quickly put that aside to listen again. I was seeing in my mind how they'd traveled on a backwards course from earth to their own world. They'd been living in our world for some time and sometimes talked to humans but in the past this had caused some horrified reactions from humans who then sought to kill them. So they withdrew to their own areas and stayed clear of humans. Sometimes they came into contact but it was rare. This one had been told by the older ones of his kind not to engage humans in talk as it caused problems for them all. "He" just as she'd told me, was lonely for interaction and found humans to be quite intelligent and accepting which made him feel good. I asked what his kind would think if they found out he was doing this. He said they'd react very strongly so that we'd be put off doing anything against them. I asked if he knew that this girl would be in big trouble with her parents if they knew she'd been talking to him, and knew what he was. He didn't think that mattered but I told him it did very much. I told him there'd already been trouble and evidently someone had seen some of his kind in the area already. He knew about this but felt it had nothing to do with he and his talking to this girl. I told him that her people and many others were very scared of them, were searching for them and that he should warn his kind of this so they could withdraw to safer areas to let this die down. He seemed agitated by my thinking this to him and made excuses why his association with this girl would be ok. It's like I sensed that he was somehow feeding off her energy so I said this had to stop now and it was no insult towards him as he was quite nice to talk with but that it just had to stop before someone got hurt very badly or worse. I said his kind had told the truth that our two kind were a very long way from meeting and interacting on a common level. At that he seemed to get very upset like it hurt his feelings and he had a short fuse. My thought was to get out of there and to the house quickly and get everyone else there too. Once at the house I began having trouble with vivid visions flashing nonstop through my mind and overwhelming me. My mind began to shut down and so then did my body. I slumped to the ground and sent my brother to get help. I told dad we had to get inside quick. He asked if someone had a gun and I told him it wasn't a person or animal but was something very very bad. He made me tell him what was going on and I said shortly that the guy their daughter had been talking to wasn't human, he was a huge bird like thing that communicated with our minds very well and was dumping visions in my mind even now. We got inside quick and dad called to my brothers and this man to help him get his guns out of our car. Then he thought better of it and had the man cover him with his own guns first. They got all the guns inside after a few trips. They quickly loaded them while the women were ordered to close the house up tight and quick. Then the curtains had to be drawn. We kids were all sent upstairs to the finished attic. When the sun went down we began to hear dogs barking all over the place. Then we began seeing red glowing spots outside the window upstairs. Then came loud scratching but there was no tree near this side of the house to cause it. Then loud bangs of something hitting the window came along with the red glowing orbs. We began to see more detail after the light was turned off and everyone fled the upstairs quickly. There were hideous faces seen up close to the glass then. We were gathered in the middle of the house downstairs. Though the curtains on the picture window were drawn we could see through them to the outside where a very bright light shown over the little bridge that crossed the large creek there. Something very tall, with thin extremeties was zipping past that picture window. Someone said it had to be nearer the light to appear to be that big to us there. Then it stopped as if hearing what we thought and began to claw wildly at the window. The girl said not to think anything about it as it could hear us thinking. They all thought she was crasy but I said she was telling the truth. I told dad it would help if he turned on the tv so that their minds would be on the tv and not other things. he turned it on then and it all calmed down for some time. Tv in those days didn't go all night so it was turned off and we were told to lay down and go to sleep. In my sleep I'd had dreams about this being and the seige on the house began to come again from a bunch of these things. They were hitting the windows all over the house in an attempt to break them. Some were on the roof trying to tear it open. That meant that all at that one time all the windows and the roof being attacked meant that there were quite a few of them doing this. Dad calmed me down and began asking me to think about this or that usually flowers and dogs and the noise stopped. I was told to sit behind the living room chair and was handed a magazine or book to look at. He said to read it whether it was a good book or not. it was a good book though so I kept reading til it got light out. We at breakfast to give it time to get more light out and then made a hasty retreat back home. That night I heard scratching on the siding next to my bedroom upstairs. Looking out the window I saw glowing red eyes moving about the yard. Some were further apart than others suggesting some were bigger somethings. Soon I could see thin appendages to these things and large dark wings. The neighbors had a front light which illuminated these things backs. Dad somehow got them to leave or something. I heard him yell to me to tell them that he had never hurt me. He ordered me to do this so I knew I had better do it. I heard him telling that they couldn't have me. That did it for me and I shut the window and locked it. Then, I lay down and put the covers over my head. The next day there were shingles missing from the roof. I got up there to see that it was only over my bedroom. The shingles were missing and there were long gouges in the underlayment of the roof. I shivered when my brothers said it looked like something had tried to tear the roof apart to get at me. There was one of those things back in the woods from our house when I was a teenager. One of my brothers and I were trying to escape it one day. andrew, I encountered “a” mothman in November of 1967 when I was 9.

We at breakfast to give it time to get more light out and then made a hasty retreat back home. That night I heard scratching on the siding next to my bedroom upstairs. Looking out the window I saw glowing red eyes moving about the yard. Some were further apart than others suggesting some were bigger somethings. Soon I could see thin appendages to these things and large dark wings. The neighbors had a front light which illuminated these things backs. Dad somehow got them to leave or something. I heard him yell to me to tell them that he had never hurt me. He ordered me to do this so I knew I had better do it. I heard him telling that they couldn’t have me. That did it for me and I shut the window and locked it. Then, I lay down and put the covers over my head. The next day there were shingles missing from the roof. I got up there to see that it was only over my bedroom. The shingles were missing and there were long gouges in the underlayment of the roof. I shivered when my brothers said it looked like something had tried to tear the roof apart to get at me. There was one of those things back in the woods from our house when I was a teenager. One of my brothers and I were trying to escape it one day.

I have not mentioned it to many, but have had a lifelong quest of trying to find answers - an explanation for the unbelievable - all of my life....
