A Point Pleasant woman describes an incident where her horse was 'burned' by the Mothman. It had landed on the back of the horse in which she was then bucked off. Strange account.
I received the following account:
“I just wanted to share an incident that I experienced in Point Pleasant, West Virginia where I went to high school. I was in a video production class right around the time the movie 'The Mothman Prophecies' with Richard Gere was being made. So we decided to make a documentary.
We spoke to a woman in her 70s who, during the time of the original sightings back in the 1960s, said that she was out riding her horse one day and she said she suddenly felt someone sit down behind her. All of a sudden the horse bucked her off and went crazy. She chased the horse down and then looked at the horse. Burned into the flesh of the horse were the legs of a humanoid. She immediately got in contact with a veterinarian, who came to their farm to treat the horse.
The veterinarian never asked how the horse got burned as if he had seen this type of burn before. Other than the burn, the horse was fine.
Later that week, she confided to a friend that whatever it was that sat behind her on the horse had very thin, insect-like legs. She also said that it had the odor of ammonia. She also said that when she was backed off the horse she caught a glimpse of the being on the horse. She saw huge butterfly-like wings that were yellow in color.
She swears up and down that this was the Mothman. Also, it turns out that the veterinarian was one of the 46 victims who died during the Silver Bridge collapse on December 15, 1967. I just thought that was an interesting story.”M
NOTE: Some of the winged humanoid witnesses in the Chicago area mention the odor of ammonia. Lon
