SPEAKER_01 0:52

Let's do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:13

Welcome everybody to Comedyville Horror Podcast. We are your host. I'm Russ. I'm Tosh. And this week we're talking about Mothman or Butterfly Man.

SPEAKER_04 1:23

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 1:24

Or no, I guess it's mostly it's mostly nighttime. And are butterflies out at night?

SPEAKER_01 1:30

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

Yeah. Just moth.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

I think they go to sleep.

SPEAKER_02 1:35

Do they?

SPEAKER_01 1:36

I don't know. Do butterflies sleep?

SPEAKER_04 1:38

Do insects in general sleep? Do they need to? Maybe not. I don't I don't know. Well, hmm. We'll find out.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

Uh yeah, so uh why don't we Yeah, what do you got?

SPEAKER_01 1:54

Tell me tell me a little bit about the history.

SPEAKER_02 1:58

So it it started November 15th of 1966.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Two young couples in Point Pleasant uh told police that they'd seen a large creature whose eyes glowed red.

SPEAKER_04 2:16

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 2:18

Uh and that that's a key thing for all of the side. It's always red glowing eyes.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:24

Um they uh they were on this side of the road at the town, and they described it as a slender, muscular man about seven feet tall with white wings. However, they were unable to discern its face because of the hypnotic effect of its eyes. This sounds like a bunch of fucking hippies that are high out of their gourd or tripping or something.

unknown 2:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

Um, so they they sped away and reported that the the creature flew after their car, making a screeching sound, and pursued them as far as the city limits.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Sounds like a bat. Just a very large bat. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

But then over the next few days, more people reported similar sightings.

SPEAKER_01 3:22

And then that would be terrifying.

SPEAKER_02 3:24

So then, and then this is where so the local newspaper covered it.

SPEAKER_04 3:30

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

And then this is where like it just starts. Because otherwise, if the newspaper doesn't like destroy it, well, just make sensationalize a story, then it just dies. Right. Right. This just gets into more, more of the sightings. And people people losing their fucking dogs and claiming that it was the fucking moth man.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Yeah, well, I mean moth that eats a dog.

SPEAKER_02 4:02

It's kind of yeah, so wild. And then it it kind of like for what did I say, November 15th? So like just over a year after that. So in December 15th, 1967, a bridge collapsed. Uh, and 46 people died. And then this is where for some reason people started connecting the bridge collapsing with the Mothman.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Right. Like because weren't there weren't like the survivors saying that there were sightings or something?

SPEAKER_02 4:38

Because then it it kind of just stopped after that.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:42

Like once the bridge collapsed, then nobody saw it again. Uh, but like a lot of people just think it's a fucking sandhill crane, which we have those here.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

We do.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Uh we're one of the stops. You've seen them fly.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_02 5:01

It sounds they look like like a human, because they have long legs that you can see.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

They are super have you ever like gone to the actual, like when they do the migration, the sandhill crane migration?

SPEAKER_02 5:17

Oh, by Carney?

SPEAKER_01 5:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

Yeah. Well, I drive out there all the time for work and they sound like pterodactyls. And it's crazy because you see so many people along the interstate pulled over and taking pictures. Yeah. And it's like, geez, fuck. Like, this is how accidents fucking happen.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

I will say though, if you've never actually gone to like see the group of them and like like getting up in the morning and then when they take off from their roost, it's wild. Yeah. Like there's so many of them in the track.

SPEAKER_02 5:47

They're big. They are they're huge birds.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

They're they're pretty big.

SPEAKER_02 5:51

Fucking ribeye in the sky. That's what they call it. Like you can't you can't shoot them here, but in Texas, where you can shoot anything.

SPEAKER_01 5:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

Uh everyone claims that they're delicious.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

Well, they eat corn.

SPEAKER_02 6:06

Is that all they eat?

SPEAKER_01 6:07

I mean, I think.

SPEAKER_02 6:08

Just like a big fucking gullet.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

They could like they're not eating. Yeah, but then it would taste fishy. The meat would taste gross. Uh maybe they do eat fish. Oh. I thought they just roosted like But they're always by water. Well, they roost in the water.

SPEAKER_04 6:28

Yeah. So I bet I bet they do eat fish.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

Maybe.

SPEAKER_02 6:34

I bet they do.

SPEAKER_01 6:36

Yeah, but their eyes aren't gonna glow red at night.

SPEAKER_02 6:38

Because that's that's why they have the super long legs. Like when they're in the shallow water, they're always like Oh, you're probably right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

I mean, I guess like the herons eat fish.

SPEAKER_02 6:51

What what is it? The fucking flamingo? A flamingo is pink because of like the shit that it eats?

SPEAKER_01 6:58

Yeah, the shrimp.

SPEAKER_04 7:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

It eats shrimp. Isn't that weird? It's kind of like how a Dalmatian is born white doesn't have spots until it's older.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

Is it?

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

I did not know that. Really?

unknown 7:13

Really?

SPEAKER_01 7:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

What so what about cows? Do cows get fucking spots later?

SPEAKER_01 7:20

Have you ever seen a baby like a calf?

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:23

With spots?

SPEAKER_02 7:25

See, around here though.

SPEAKER_01 7:27

No, but like a dairy cow is is born with spots.

SPEAKER_02 7:30

Isn't it? Because I don't you don't see a whole lot of dairy cows out and about.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

Not here.

SPEAKER_02 7:36

It's mostly just Wisconsin, they're brown or all white. Like well, because there's not many spotted ones.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

Because here it's for the meat. Yeah. You know? But meat. Uh I don't know. I don't believe that it's a fucking crane. See. The reason being is where are we coming up with these red eyes?

SPEAKER_02 7:57

So, and that's the thing too. Apparently.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

Yes, a crane does have a red circle around its eyes.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Yeah. And at night, like if you shine a light, uh like you know, like most animals, like you shine a light on them and then their eyes like glow. Uh but yeah, the the cranes have a red glow to them.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 8:19

Which I did not know.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

SPEAKER_02 8:29

Oh, I know, and then it scares the fuck out of you because they're huge.

SPEAKER_01 8:32

They're huge, but they're like the noise, like it's so prehistoric sounding.

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Um you know, I have a feeling that wait, when when did Mothra uh you know Godzilla?

SPEAKER_04 23:22

Like Godzilla. I just remember Mothman Prophecies.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

Do you remember that movie?

SPEAKER_04 23:34

No. That was kind of wild. Yeah, see, so Mothra uh first appeared in 1961.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

Do you remember like Godzilla fought the giant fucking Mothman? Mothra. I bet it's fucking people that saw that fucking movie. And then they're like, it's a fucking Mothman, you know?

SPEAKER_04 24:03

Oh, I was gonna look up.

SPEAKER_01 24:06

Maybe if my phones Good night. Oh, no.

SPEAKER_02 24:13

My my wife's phone like will not work for some reason. And it's it's crazy because like uh she like literally just paid the phone off. You know?

SPEAKER_01 24:28

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 24:29

Like this month. And then immediately after it's paid off, it fucking she can't like make calls.

unknown 24:36

Oh what?

SPEAKER_02 24:38

I'm like, dude, this fucking this country's such a fucking scam.

SPEAKER_01 24:42

It's so dumb. Um Mothman Prophecies was in 2002.

SPEAKER_04 24:48

Is it a movie?

SPEAKER_01 24:49

Yeah, you never saw that?

SPEAKER_04 24:50

No.

SPEAKER_01 24:51

It's got um Willem Defoe.

SPEAKER_04 24:54

Richard Gere. What? Yeah. Richard Gere. It's it's a horror movie.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Laura Linney with Deborah Messings in it.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

Oh my god, what?

SPEAKER_01 25:07

Yeah, it's uh supernatural horror film starring Richard Gere as a journalist investigating strange sightings of a wind creature in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. I mean, but West Virginia. Isn't that also where white underbelly what's the what's the Whitakers?

SPEAKER_04 25:27

The Whitakers, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

I mean, so let's see what they're seeing. Um so it's based on John Keel's book. It blends real life events with a fictional narrative.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

Yeah. The book is what took this like nationwide. Uh I think it came out in 1970.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Yeah, I think so. I don't know. I mean, do you believe that there could be some sort of No, not at all. Of course you don't.

SPEAKER_02 26:02

I mean it well, it I don't know. It's I wanna say because it happens at night, it makes it more plausible.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

But why couldn't it be a humanoid creature?

SPEAKER_02 26:16

Like what like a fucking like a guy that like fucked a moth I mean, yeah, you're probably right. I mean, I'm not soars through the skies. I'm not a hundred percent sure on anatomy, but I I don't think a moth and a human can fuck.

SPEAKER_01 26:37

Well, I think the the idea of it being this like weird humanoid creature was because the areas that it's been seen is around where they did like test sites for World War II and shit.

SPEAKER_02 26:51

Yeah, like the munitions plan. So, I mean Yeah, but that's like fucking everywhere, like in like by Vegas. There's like fucking chupacabras or whatever from all the bombs and shit.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

Oh, I saw a chupacabra.

SPEAKER_02 27:09

No, you didn't.

SPEAKER_01 27:10

Yes, I did. Could have just been uh coyote with mange, but whatever. I mean, um, but so the omen of doom is kind of like if you see it, like something terrible's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_02 27:23

Yeah, that's like the the bridge connection where like Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

That it's a you're gonna see it prior to a catastrophic event, right?

SPEAKER_02 27:33

Which it took fucking over a year.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

So it's like I mean that fast. Some some people think it was an owl. I'm like, mm, don't owls eyes glow like yellow?

SPEAKER_02 27:46

I think so.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:48

Did I tell you I fucking I hit an owl and killed it? Like this was years ago, and I felt so bad. Uh, because I was driving to work and it's dark, and I was I was on a country road, because I was just the fastest way.

SPEAKER_01 28:08

Was it like a big, like one of those barn barred owls?

SPEAKER_02 28:12

Is that it was big because so like I came over a hill and it was like it was just on the other side of the hill, and I could see it like hopping.

SPEAKER_01 28:21

Oh shoot.

SPEAKER_02 28:23

And they're like, if I would have jerked, I would have You would have died. Yeah. And so I fucking ran it over, and I was like, fuck, I bet that was an owl.

unknown 28:32

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 28:33

And so after work, I stopped and it it was an owl. I felt so bad. So bad. I think it's like bad luck.

SPEAKER_01 28:42

I think so. I also hit a cat.

SPEAKER_02 28:44

Well, if that's good.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

There was nothing I could have done. Like it was a two-lane highway, and it just came out of the cornfield like a fucking wrecking wrecking ball.

SPEAKER_02 28:55

And I like a fucking deer. Like I hate like when you see deer on the side of the road, like for some reason, they have to fucking jump out in front of you. And it's like, God damn it, just fucking stay where you are.

SPEAKER_01 29:08

It's so weird though. Like, so I remember going, you know, when dad died or whatever, there were so many deer on the side of the road that didn't even fucking move. When I go and do my girls' trip in the Ozarks, again, deer everywhere. Like, we'll take the golf carts out, and I'm like, oh look, deer, deer, deer. And they're just like, just looking at you, not jumping out.

SPEAKER_02 29:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

Here, they're dumb as fuck. Oh, I know. It's literally like it's in the middle of the day, and you're like, where the fuck did that come from?

SPEAKER_02 29:42

Yeah. Deer scare me all the time. Whenever I'm uh riding my bike, because you you don't see them, like you're just focused on the trail, you know, and yeah. And then like I had that happen once. Just fucking run and you shit your pants.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

Oh my god. I had four jump out, like this was years ago, um, over by one of the lakes that I used to live by and was riding my bike, and fucking four of them just yeah, I don't even know how I didn't fucking fly over the goddamn handlebars.

SPEAKER_02 30:14

Speaking of shitting your pants, uh I got a fucking story that happened.

SPEAKER_01 30:20

Uh Did you shit your pants again?

SPEAKER_02 30:22

Friday, no. So I uh I was driving for work and so I stopped at at a gas station and I was like, I'll just get like a protein bar. Like I'm not hungry.

SPEAKER_03 30:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:35

But like I fucking have to have something, you know. So I got one, and you know, like gas station uh options are usually like garbage. Yeah. So I was looking and I was like, oh, this one has like no carbs, but a bunch of protein. I didn't look at how much sugar alcohol was in it. Uh it had a fuck ton.

SPEAKER_04 31:00

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 31:01

So I ate it and so now I'm like outside of the city, like where the towns are pretty far from each other, right? And I'm like, oh god, I'm gonna shit myself. So I'm doing like fucking 90 to get to the next town. And you know, so it only has one gas station.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

And you're just like, you're sweating. You're like trying to like get off of the fucking I have to like think of something else.

SPEAKER_02 31:34

Like maybe if I sit like it's deeper or I'm fucking sweating with the AC on full fucking feeling.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

Like, oh god, please just stay in there.

SPEAKER_02 31:44

And so I I get to this town, and you know, it's a one gas station town, right? And so there's signs all over, you know, of like no public restrooms uh for customers only or whatever. Yeah. And I run to the bathroom, and it's it's also like their store, it's like uh, you know, like a male-female, like it's only one bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 32:09

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Uh and but it's like their storage, like that's where they put all their cups and shit. I'm like, that's fucking gross.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

Isn't it so gross?

SPEAKER_02 32:17

Yeah, these little uh so I'm in there, like I'm shitting, I could fill a five-gallon bucket.

SPEAKER_01 32:26

So sick.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

And so, you know, it's a really small gas station, right? And I can hear uh like the owner of the gas station like arguing with a lady, because I think he he kept like giving her like cigarettes, and she kept saying that she would pay him back, sort of thing.

SPEAKER_04 32:47

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:48

And so he's like, I'm not giving you any more fucking cigarettes. And I'm in the bathroom, like, you know, when it hurts so much, you're like, oh like they can hear me clear as day because it's just you're just every every time I do it, they pause.

SPEAKER_01 33:09

You're just destroying the bathroom.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

Yeah, I'm I'm like, oh fucking hey.

SPEAKER_01 33:14

And then you gotta walk out.

SPEAKER_02 33:16

Yeah, exactly. And there were there was like two guys waiting. I'm like, fuck.

SPEAKER_01 33:22

You just want to apologize beforehand.

SPEAKER_02 33:25

And so then I got like a bottled soda because I ain't fucking using their fountain.

SPEAKER_01 33:31

Ew, no. But I need to rehydrate after that shit.

SPEAKER_02 33:36

That that was awful.

SPEAKER_01 33:38

Oh my god. That's the worst feeling. You know, when I worked in the small towns and had to like go check on patients, and I would literally be going from one to the next. I'm like, oh god, oh no, I can't go to that place anymore. There was one time the only thing that was in this town, like the only like restaurant, because there was 1,000 people at the tiny gas station. And so my other option was a subway. I go into the subway, and there is a small like high school kid mopping the floor in the ladies' bathroom. And I was like, I can't. I go, ah, and I look and the men's is open. And I'm like, sorry. And I literally just went in, fucking locked the door and just fucking oh, oh my god, this poor kid. Because I'm sure that was like his next duty. Like fuck duty, but it was so embarrassing, and I was like, just the walk of shame. Like, I got I'm just scared.

SPEAKER_02 34:39

Where it's like everybody knows that you just destroyed it.

SPEAKER_01 34:41

Yep. So then anytime I went through that town again, I was like, I cannot go there.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

Uh there's no way. It's funny at work. So we don't have any female employees there. So the women's bathroom is our shittin' bathroom.

SPEAKER_04 34:57

Oh god. Rose.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

Because I mean, why only dirty one when you could dirty two bathrooms?

SPEAKER_01 35:08

And it's all guy. I mean, so you guys know if somebody's in the ladies' bathroom, you're taking a shit.

SPEAKER_02 35:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

And like nobody cares. Like women, we would never be like, well, we don't have any men that work here, so that's the poop bathroom. Like, we're not gonna ever claim that. Like, mm-ha.

SPEAKER_02 35:24

Well, and that's we're always like, we can't hire a woman because then that's gonna just ruin our whole shitting bathroom thing.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

I you guys are on a schedule. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 35:37

But let's see. What other fun little facts about the old mothman?

SPEAKER_01 35:45

I don't really know enough about it.

SPEAKER_02 35:47

I mean, I mean, it's just like so, and that's the thing too with like a lot of cryptid things. So it's always sightings, it's never actual fucking evidence. Right.

SPEAKER_01 35:57

Like, could you get like a piece of a wing?

SPEAKER_02 35:59

Yeah, like a fucking feather.

SPEAKER_01 36:00

How about a feather, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:02

SPEAKER_01 36:24

Oh, that is true. You know, with skinny little legs.

SPEAKER_02 36:27

SPEAKER_01 36:27

I'll give it that. I just think people when when bad shit happens, people look for something like an excuse. Well, yeah, and like, oh, well, they must have seen the Mothman, and that's why this happened. Not like the train derailed, the bridge collapsed like you know what I mean? Like clearly there was some sort of structural problem with the bridge, or yeah, because it was built in 1805. Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 37:02

Let's yeah, it was made out of straw and mud.

SPEAKER_01 37:05

SPEAKER_02 37:35

It literally breaks your back because you're fucking like getting jarred around.

SPEAKER_01 37:41

The last time I was there, I went on one where you sit with like it's four people.

SPEAKER_02 37:47

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 37:49

And it's like right when you walk it spins. And it spins as it takes you around. No.

SPEAKER_02 37:54

Oh, I think they changed the name because I believe that was called the Oriental Express.

SPEAKER_01 37:59

No, that was the original roller coaster, was the Oriental Express, and I think they had to change it. But then this one was like the something typhoon or I don't know. Yeah. Because that it was fairly new 15 years ago, maybe. I don't know. But I just I don't like that shit.

SPEAKER_02 38:17

Yeah. I mean, I I like roller coasters and shit, but like I have to ease into it. I can't just go like fucking balls deep straight into one. I have to like get on like a kitty ride first.

SPEAKER_01 38:29

You know, get I know get my bearings. Hey, let me like work myself up to this. Yeah. Uh-huh.

And it was like he was freaking out way more than any of us. Oh, well, this must have been super great. Yeah, this must have been like his first day or like the first time it's ever stopped. You know, he's like, everybody, just please calm down. We're gonna get the ride going as soon as we can, but just please don't leave your seats. And we're all just sitting there, like, we're fine. We're just hot as fuck.

SPEAKER_01 39:48

You know, you're just like, like, oh my god, I just had to sit in this fucking thing. Yeah. Exactly. No, thank you. Did you ever go on one of those detonator things? Where just go straight up and yeah, like your legs are dangling.

SPEAKER_01 40:48

Oh my god, what a waste.

SPEAKER_02 40:49

And so then we just went over to like the the water park part of it. And we're like, we're just gonna fucking stay here the rest of the day.

SPEAKER_01 40:59

Seriously. If you put me in water and it's hot, like I'm good. I don't need me, I don't want to go on a fucking ride where like somebody's big sweaty ass has already just been like soaking in the fucking sweaty coochie smell. And then you like get off because they're all like plastic or like that fiberglass shit. Oh, your skin's left behind.

SPEAKER_02 41:22

Yeah. Well, but so the the water park, it had a like a swim up bar, you know?

SPEAKER_01 41:29

SPEAKER_01 41:44

Oh yeah, yeah. They're letting their kids fuck around.

Right.

SPEAKER_01 42:24

Remember when people would lie and they're like, if you pee in there, it turns water blue. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

I think that's just to stop kids from like pissing all over. Yeah, just uh freely pissing the whole time.

SPEAKER_01 42:37

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 42:38

But it is fun though, peeing in water. Like when you're in water peeing.
