The Mothman Legacy seeks to uncover the American legend about a red-eyed creature seen in 1960s rural West Virginia. Sightings of a winged beast have been documented for years. Some believers think that Mothman only appears before a tragedy, due to an uptick of sighting around the Silver Bridge collapse in 1967. However, this documentary seeks to uncover the origins of the omen.
In a statement to Deadline, Jim Martin, VP of 1091 Media stated “Seth, and SmallTown Monsters have brought one of the greatest mysteries to life with The Mothman Legacy. The film gives a fresh take on the terrifying legend of The Mothman creature and the encounters that plagued Point Pleasant VA.”
