We're heading to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to uncover the true story of the Mothman. From four teenagers fleeing a winged creature at 100 mph to the bizarre phenomena that followed, including flying saucers and a telepathic alien named Indrid Cold.

We explore whether there was a link between the Mothman and the Silver Bridge disaster that killed 46 people. Plus, we dissect John Keel's chaotic book: The Mothman Prophecies, work to separate fact from folklore, and trace how a local monster became a global icon.

In February 1968, the small town of Gaffney, South Carolina, was plunged into darkness. Over eight terrifying days, a serial killer known as the Gaffney Strangler claimed the lives of three women, taunted the local newspaper, and left a community barricaded in their homes.

This is the story of how a cryptic phone call to a newspaper editor led police to two bodies, exposed a wrongful conviction, and sparked one of the largest manhunts in the county’s history.

Join us as we explore the forensic limitations of 1968, the hunt for a predator, and the shocking end to the Gaffney Strangler’s reign.
