RED-EYED MOTHMAN Encountered at Kyser Cemetery in Barberton, Ohio

Two teens are at the old Kyser Cemetery in Barberton, Ohio when they encounter a winged creature with red eyes that chases their car as they attempt to flee. Was it a Mothman?

The following account was forwarded to me:

“In the fall of 1995, in Barberton, Ohio (just outside of Akron), my best friend and a guy friend were driving by a very old cemetery near my home (Kyser Cemetery on Swigart Road). They described seeing a large creature with red eyes that flew/chased their car and kept up, no matter how fast he drove or what turns he made. One second, she saw it in the sideview mirror, the next second he saw it in front. They said it bolted from front to behind effortlessly and only disappeared when they turned onto a main road with heavy traffic (None of us—just kids at the time—had ever heard of the Mothman).

I wasn’t quite sure I believed it until she made me tack up blankets over my bedroom window (you could see the graveyard in the distance from my house) and push my dresser in front of it. She also insisted on sleeping with me in my bed and literally wouldn’t even let me go to the bathroom without her because she was so terrified at what had happened.

Neither of them has spoken much about it in the years since that night since our other friends (unfortunately) made fun of them, but I believe them both. You just can’t fake that kind of terror.

Interesting side note: I am of mixed blood, part of which is Shawnee from near the Point Pleasant area. I know of no other sightings in that area, or any incidents involving that cemetery (beyond accidentally crashing my bicycle there. Just thought you would enjoy this little piece of personal history).” B

I’m opening the Pennsylvania & Maryland casefiles, beginning with these original reports & accounts. I have investigated these cases, some of which were reported since Butch’s passing. I plan to periodically present some of our past cases along with newer inquiries, like what we have done with the Chicago winged humanoid phenomenon. 

So, just sit back and listen to these sightings & encounters. If you have questions, feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer each.
