The Mothman Museum is a small museum located in Point Pleasant, West Virginia (the town where the famous sightings began) and is dedicated to the legend of the Mothman. The museum opened in the mid-2000s and is considered the world’s only museum focused entirely on the Mothman legend.

Inside the museum you will find such treasures as: handwritten eyewitness accounts from the night of November 15, 1966, original newspaper articles and press clippings about the sightings, police reports and photographs from the investigation, props from the film ‘The Mothman Prophecies’, and information about the Silver Bridge collapse, which many people associate with the sightings. There’s also a life-sized replica of Mothman waiting to greet you as you enter the museum.

Of course, no museum is complete without a gift shop to stock up on your cryptid merchandise like shirts, books, and souvenirs

Just outside the museum is a Mothman statute. People from all over the world travel to Point Pleasant to get a selfie with the famous Mothman Statue. You can even watch folks interact with the statue on the Mothman Statue Cam, a live 24/7 stream. I’ve watched some of this and based on how people interact with the statue I can confidently say we are doomed as a species.
