FLYING WINGED HUMANOID Reported by Hoffman Estates, Illinois Eyewitness

After airing the 'The Mothman Revisited' episode in Season 4 of 'Unsolved Mysteries,' the producers collected reports from the viewers and forwarded the information to us.

The witnesses are being contacted to establish and confirm details of the sightings/encounters. If further information is received, it will be added to the report. We have received worldwide inquiries as well. The incidents specifically reported in the Chicagoland region are on the Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map.

The original reports with details later added by the witness:

"It was like between spring and summer, possibly early June 2024, in the early morning around 5:50 AM just as it was getting light. I was driving east on Bode Rd and stopped at a red light to turn left onto Barrington Rd in the town of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. I am located about 30 minutes from O'Hare International Airport. I was heading to work.

When I stopped at the red light, I swear that I saw right in front of my position a large animal or human-like being with wings flying in a straight line at a height of about 150 meters or less. I managed to look at the part of its face. I followed its flight as I looked out the windows to my right, then left. I continued to watch it in my rearview mirror and watched it disappear into a grove of trees in the park.

In my mind, at the time, it looked like a flying horse because of its long legs. But after watching the entire 'The Mothman Revisited' documentary on Unsolved Mysteries I can now say that it was, without a doubt, the Mothman." Georgina C.

NOTE: The Hoffman Estates, Illinois area has previously witnessed a winged humanoid and another unknown cryptid sighting, posted at humanoid owl seen in October 2019 by a couple, and also a tall, white-grayish bipedal creature that frightens a family in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Lon

Is The FULL MOON An Accessory To CRIME & CRAZINESS?


The LUNAR EFFECT is a pseudoscientific theory that overlaps with sociology, psychology, and physiology suggesting that there is a correlation between specific stages of the Earth's lunar cycle and deviant behavior in human beings. The claims of a correlation of lunar phases to human behavior do not hold up under scientific scrutiny.

Across the centuries, many a person have uttered the phrase “There must be a full moon out there” in an attempt to explain weird happenings at night. Indeed, the Roman goddess of the moon bore a name that remains familiar to us today: Luna, the prefix of the word “lunatic.” Greek philosopher Aristotle and Roman historian Pliny the Elder suggested that the brain was the “moistest” organ in the body and thereby most susceptible to the pernicious influences of the moon, which triggers the tides. Belief in the “lunar lunacy effect,” or “Transylvania effect,” as it is sometimes called, persisted in Europe through the Middle Ages, when humans were widely reputed to transmogrify into werewolves or vampires during a full moon.

"Western lore has long suggested a relationship between the phases of the moon and various forms of aberrant, antisocial, deviant, and criminal human conduct," begins the Journal of Criminal Justice study led by criminologist Joseph Schafer of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. "Policing, crime, and criminal justice have not been immune from speculation concerning the lunar-crime relationship."

Police frequently have complained about crime's rising during a full moon, the study authors note. So have scholars, such as in a 1972 American Journal of Psychiatry report that found murders peaked around Miami over 15 years during the full moon. The same report looked at 13 years of murders in an Ohio county, finding no lunar effect.

So it has gone for full moon malice, with a few studies finding a mixed effect on crimes. Overall in the last four decades, most found no lunar link to suicides and homicides, as well as "prison escapes," "hospital admissions for dog bite injuries," and "aggression among ice hockey players," according to the study.

Still, "research has shown that belief in lunar effects continued to be strong, including among police officers, and tended to be associated with beliefs in other paranormal phenomena," write Schafer and colleagues. Many of the past studies found weak or no effects suffered from defects ranging from limited data, weak statistics, and even disagreement on lunar phases, raising the possibility the cops are just more observant than criminologists give them credit for. "Officers have the benefit of directly observing the aftermath of criminal incidents; their experiences may provide them with unique insights into lunar effects," says the study, "or police culture may simply perpetuate false beliefs about lunar effects."

So, to find out, the study team looked at San Antonio, Tex., from 2001 to 2005, a city of more than a million people for which exhaustive crime data is available. The team crunched nightly crime data, noting rain, daylight, indoor vs. outdoor locations, and other environmental effects unaccounted for in past efforts. Murder happens too rarely in San Antonio to give a statistical signal, so the team looked at assaults, burglary, theft, drugs and vice crimes, traffic crimes, and "other disturbances," totaling about 130,000 incidents a year.

"It is the very error of the moon," wrote Shakespeare in Othello. "She comes more near the earth than she was wont, And makes men mad."

Maybe in Venice, but not in San Antonio, the study concludes. "Substantive lunar effects on crime were not found in the data analyzed here," says the report. "Although popular culture, folklore, and even certain occupational lore suggested the 'freaks' come out during full moons, this phenomenon was not reflected in San Antonio police data as used here."

Instead, weekends and warm weather were linked to crime, as you might expect. Winter and rain decreased crimes, except in the city's Riverwalk entertainment district, home to bars, hotels, convention facilities, shops, and theaters, where the level of crime was the same regardless of conditions. The only slight effects of a full moon were a small increase in burglaries citywide, and a drop in vice arrests in the Riverwalk center, at the same time. Neither was statistically convincing.

But while the crime data don't show any lunar effects, that doesn't mean people aren't weirder during a full moon, the study authors acknowledge, something unlikely to come across in the dry language of a police report.

After all, the belief that the moon affects human behavior is "deeply entrenched in popular belief," write Robert Bartholomew and Hilary Evans in the "Lunar Influences" entry of Outbreak, the Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Social Behavior. The Roman physician Galen, one of the "fathers of medicine," claimed that epileptic fits were triggered by the moon in the 2nd Century. Disturbed patients in London were flogged during the full moon in the 18th century to halt their expected violence.

"Whether or not the lunar effect has any biological basis, the belief in it may be associated with popular practices," concludes the encyclopedia. "The Moon's phases could thus be a contributing or enabling factor in extraordinary social behavior, whether directly, by affecting people en masse, or indirectly, by affecting especially susceptible individuals."

Full Moon Madness - Old Farmer's Almanac

As the full moon shines bright over Earth tomorrow night, people on the planet may go a little crazy, or so some believe. Having long-held mystery and intrigue, the full moon has been blamed for causing a sudden increase in crime, psychotic behaviors, and accidents. Nineteenth-century lawyers in England would even argue their clients were “guilty because of the full moon” and should therefore not be held accountable for their “lunatic” actions.

Is there any truth to this lunar lunatic theory? If you ask a policeman or hospital worker, you will most likely get an answer in the affirmative followed by stories of crowded jails and busy emergency rooms on moonlit nights. One study conducted in Dade County, Florida, even seemed to support the plausibility of this legend, stating their research showed an increase in the murder rate during full moons. However, the study was later proven flawed, and when the data was reanalyzed, no conclusive evidence was found. And this seems to be the pattern for several other studies as well, none of which show any linkage between human behavior and the full moon.

So how you do explain this perpetual myth that so many swear by? Some say it could be simply due to the fact people are looking for a connection. When weird behavior occurs under a full moon, it’s easy to blame it on the moon, whereas when odd things happen throughout the rest of the month, we don’t really think about it.

While there seems to be little scientific evidence to support the full-moon lunacy lore, there will always be those who will argue otherwise. You can decide for yourself as the next full moon rises!

Ohio Deer Hunter SAVED BY 'ANGELS' After Shotgun Accident?

On the opening day of deer hunting season in Ohio, on November 26, 1984, Kyle Maynard was out with his parents, his younger brother (Sam), and a family friend (Joe).

At around 5:26 PM, the friend, a Vietnam veteran, accidentally discharged his 12-gauge shotgun which he thought was unloaded.

“[It] hit me perfectly in the right knee and removed the lower part of my leg from my knee down,” Maynard recalled. Using his belt, he managed to wrap the wound to hinder the flow of blood, while the friend picked him up on his back and carried him to the clearing under the power lines.

"We finally reached the clearing when Joe laid me down and two people walked up and to this day, we don't know who they were or where they came from. The man said he was a doctor and the lady said she was an RN and they just happened to be in the area bird watching when they heard all the yelling. We were 2.5 miles from anything and nobody had permission to be there and nobody in the right mind would be bird-watching during the opening day of gun season in Ohio. Those two people came out of the woods and, believe me, it's not the easiest place to walk in. It's either straight up or straight down with tons of green briers and honeysuckle thickets.”

Maynard believes that what happened next was a miracle. “While laying under that power line, I died. I lost over 5 and a half units of blood and nobody that was there could explain what happened next. They said I stopped breathing and my eyes rolled back in my head. I died I'm not sure what happened or how it happened but I remember looking down and seeing my body and all the commotion. I guess you'd call it an out-of-body experience, I don't know. I can only relay what I remember and what I was told later. Everyone that was on the scene by this time, my parents, Sam, and Joe were all there, and they said that those people put their hands on my chest, and when they did my eyes opened and I started breathing again but they didn't do any chest compressions or any type of CPR and I started breathing.”

The brother and the mother drove to a nearby house where they were about to call for a care-flight helicopter. Maynard always liked to wear a hat and he remembered, despite being gravely wounded, actually raising a fuss about his hat. One of the figures, the doctor, offered him his hat, which Maynard accepted and put on.

To this day, Maynard keeps it locked in a safe in his home. “I spent the next 1.5 years in recovery I have a leg with no knee my right leg is fused straight I have 27 pins and 41 screws and a stainless steel rod from my groin to my ankle and I've had 57 surgeries because of that one accident.”

Looking back, Maynard believes the two beings that assisted him were angels.
