They have been said to have a ominous presents and been reported at sites of major disasters.
The CAPS Team has noted that around the world similar creatures to what we in the US refer to as Mothman also exist, and the similarities are striking. Is it possible that like Bigfoot, who goes by different names such as Sasquatch, Yeti, Yaren, Yowie could Mothman also be one and the same? Lets take a look…

Although this is suppose to be more of a flying dinosaur, a lot of other website group it in with the Moth/Bat/Owl
There is also a lot of legends about the Thunderbird in this same category, however there isn’t much to go on with the whole red glowing eyes, and Thunderbirds are not typically seen perched on the fence in your backyard either, as the Mothman has been seen, as well as neighborhood roofs.
