A woman recalls her experience with a large, red-eyed winged humanoid in her bedroom in Killeen, Texas. Over 50 years later, she still feels fear associated with the encounter.
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. I am from Waterville, Maine. Back in the late Summer, or early Fall of 1971, I was newly married and living in Killeen, Texas with my husband who was in the army. We had a small duplex apartment in Killeen. One night he had duty and I was home alone in bed around 3 am in the morning. I woke up suddenly and saw a black figure standing at the bottom of my bed. It was 8 or 9 feet tall and had huge big black wings and red eyes. I closed my eyes and opened them again and it had moved closer to me on the right side of my bed. I couldn’t scream. It was as if I was frozen in fear. I covered my head in the blankets. I was so afraid! About 5 minutes later I looked and it was gone. It gave me a horrible feeling and I prayed never to see it again.
Shortly after this event, I came back to Maine as I was way too frightened to ever stay alone at night when he had duty. I told my mom I had seen a huge black angel that night and she was glad I came home as that didn’t sound good. I had never heard of the Mothman but a few years later I came across an article and a drawing of one. Even before I read the article I said "Wow, that is exactly what I saw in Texas!" It didn’t have a noticeable neck and its face was like hooded, its wings tucked in on its side but you could tell they were very large. It was totally black except for the eyes were round, large, and red. Lon, I still think of this thing with fear. Personally, do you have any idea what it is? I'm in my 70s now and I am still searching for an answer.
P.S. - The apartment I lived in had a well in the entranceway that always gave me the creeps, a cistern I believe it is called. Just a flat rock covered it and it still had water in it. I couldn’t see the water but I heard the plop when I dropped a rock in it. This probably has nothing to do with any of this but felt I should tell you anyway." K
