A Cicero, Illinois resident was walking past her son's bedroom when a huge dark entity with demon-like wings and a brief flash of bright red color. Was this sighting related to the Chicago Mothman?
I recently received the following account:
"I'm not even sure if I'm explaining this right because I don't have the right words but I am gonna try. I have 3 kids, and they're pretty active. It was a summer evening in 2020. The boys asked to go outside into the yard so I said yes and they headed into the back. I had to go to the bathroom so I had to walk passed my boy's room to get there. They had left the dresser light on which was against the wall shared with the bathroom wall. When I walked passed the door, something huge flew passed the light making a shadow that had wings. Not like bird wings or insects but like those cartoons or drawings of demons where they have like pointy edges in the flaps? It also saw a brief flash of bright red color for a second.
It literally scared me so much that I jumped back and hesitated walking by the door, but I heard some toys shift and the dresser being closed. But, there is no one else inside the house. My kids are outside with my husband and I'm alone (or was I, so I thought?) So what the hell would make that shadow? I walked into the room and everything was normal looking except my son's Gundams, which are these Japanese build-your-self toys of giant robots that vary in size. The one that normally is up on the shelf, too high for my kids to reach, was down on the dresser away from the other 3 that are on the shelf above.
Now normally I would just assume that my son was fixing it or something but it just didn't add up as I had been inside doing laundry, putting clothes in that same dresser just a few minutes before. My son hadn't been in his room, and my other son could not reach them and would break them if he grabbed them.
When I went outside I asked everyone if they had been moving the Gundams or fixing them and instantly my oldest was concerned someone broke it and had to go check, saying he hadn't touched it since we put them on the shelf. Now, when he returned from their room, he was annoyed asking me why I was making stuff up about the Gundams because they're all in their places. I asked about the one on the dresser and he said, "No, you put it back just fine, thank you for being gentle." I cannot reach the shelf without a chair or step ladder and neither of those things are in their room, so whatever moved that thing made me look crazy or like I was playing some prank.
So what was in the room and how was it big enough to cast a shadow that darkened the whole room? Maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on itself. But my dog hasn't gone into the boy's room since and both of my boys slept in the living room last night, saying they kept hearing scraping and scratches in the wall behind the dresser." C
NOTE: The witness got back to me by email and told me that they live in Cicero, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. I mentioned the winged humanoid sightings in the Chicagoland region. She was not aware of the phenomenon. Was it the Mothman? A winged humanoid? A brief flash of bright red and bat-like wings? She refused to give me her address, only that they live a few blocks north of Chicago Midway International Airport. Hopefully, she will eventually allow me to talk to her by telephone. Lon
