Canton, NC, October 10, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Mothman is recorded as first being sighted by Lonnie Sutton on November 12, 1966 near Clendenin, West Virginia but wasn't reported until later. 3 days later, 2 couples witnessed the Mothman about 7 miles north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. They claimed that the creature chased them while they sped away at speeds in excess of 100mph. Many sightings have been reported ever since with alarmingly similar descriptions of the creature.
