321: Skeptics vs. Believers: The Terrifying Mothman Seen By Thousands Yet Some Still Defy His Existence

Rural America has been full of folklore, tall tales, and cryptids since its beginning. Whether attributed, falsely sometimes, to Indigenous stories of strange creatures and giant animals, or sometimes the result of new animals unfamiliar to early settlers, or tales of jackalopes, snipes, and hundreds of other odd creatures that were in the stories of early settlers around their campfires. However, many of these stories don’t just exist in the historical tales of early America; some have the staying power to exist even today. The Jersey Devil still haunts the meadowlands; Bigfoot is somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, and, most famously, Mothman still chases down drivers to this day.
