The Chicago Mothman

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2207937/open_sms] In the spring of 2017, the Chicago land area would find itself rocked by numerous sightings of a strange, 7-foot-tall, emaciated, humanoid with glowing eyes. While all claimed it had wings the descriptions varied from bird-like to bat-like to insect-like. The witnesses were just as varied, rich and poor, from police and loading dock workers to professional athletes and people just out walking their dogs.
