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 report:
"I saw something similar to the Mothman across the street from my home on Labor Day Weekend in 2022. We had a cookout at my home, and we were cleaning up around 9 pm. My brother-in-law and I was sitting on my carport talking. I saw someone standing at my neighbor's basement door. I knew he wasn't home at that time, so I stood to see what this individual was going to do, and I said 'Hey!' This is when wings unfolded and this thing glided to the top of the house and walked away from that side of the house. When I went to the direction this thing headed in it moved further away, and I couldn't find it again. I haven't seen anything since, but I saw that Mothman was sighted on Rt. 840 which is about 25 miles north of my house." Garland B.
I contacted Garland B. by email. He later telephoned me:
This sighting occurred in Columbia, Tennessee on September 4, 2022, on the 800 block of Iron Bridge Rd. After having a family cookout, the witness and his brother-in-law were sitting in the carport talking at around 9 PM local time.
Garland noticed movement at his neighbor's basement door and saw a human-like figure standing there. He yelled out 'Hey!.' The humanoid then unfurled a pair of massive feathered wings and slowly ascended to the roof of the neighbor's house. As he watches this winged humanoid, he was able to see that the dark figure had feathers covering the entire body, from its head down to its legs.
The winged humanoid stood on the roof of the house, then started to move across it. He could hear rustling and scuffling sounds as it moved, eventually out of sight. Garland walked toward the house but didn't see it again.
Garland told me that within a year after his sighting, his mother, aunt, and the neighbor all passed away.
The witness expressed emotion during the conversation, hoping to understand what he observed and to get answers as to why it appeared. After watching the Unsolved Mysteries episode, he felt compelled to contact the show.
NOTE: Even though I'm not convinced that the Mothman is a harbinger of death or bad times, this witness seems to believe that this winged humanoid was a portent in this case. Was this a Mothman, or another form of winged humanoid? Lon
