Inherited Hauntings

In November of 1966, a sleepy town in West Virginia became ground zero for one of the most bizarre paranormal outbreaks in American history. Over the course of thirteen months, more than 100 people reported sightings of a red-eyed, winged creature stalking the skies around Point Pleasant. Dubbed the Mothman by the press, this cryptid wasn't just creepy... He may have been trying to warn us.

In this episode of Inherited Hauntings, mother-daughter duo Nancy and Lindsey dig into one of the creepiest cryptid cases on record—and somehow manage to make it hilarious. From the original 1966 Point Pleasant sightings to creepy Men in Black visits, prophetic dreams, and that tragic Silver Bridge collapse, this story has everything: ominous flying creatures, UFOs, and an entire town losing its collective mind.

We’ll also talk about:

• Eyewitness reports (some terrifying, some wildly bizarre)
• The absolute weirdness of the TNT Area
• Whether Mothman is a misunderstood harbinger… or just terrible at making friends
• Global sightings from Chernobyl to Chicago
• And of course, a few theories that range from science to straight-up sci-fi

Is he a bird? A moth? A cosmic red flag with feathers? Tune in to find out why this cryptid still haunts pop culture... and maybe your nightmares.

👀 Spoiler alert: It’s spooky. But it’s also weirdly funny.

Lindsey shares disturbing stories of Black-Eyed Children and mimics, those eerie beings that look like us, sound like us, but are definitely not us.

THE SCARIEST STORIES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TRUE.

Real ghosts. A real family. No exaggeration.

We’re sharing some of the most bone-chilling, unexplained encounters our family has ever experienced, and trust us, these aren’t your average ghost stories.

We’re talking three haunted houses across Massachusetts, a colonial-era ghost boy, a menacing fireman spirit repeatedly seen, a creature crawling across the bedroom wall, and even a balloon with a mind of its own. There’s paranormal texting, disappearing baby monitors, and something that tried to lure one of us off a fourth-story balcony.

These are the kinds of stories that stick with you. They make you sleep with the light on. They make you wonder just how thin the veil between the living and the dead really is.

This is a deeply personal episode of Inherited Hauntings, our mother-daughter podcast where we explore the strange, the spooky, and the inherited weirdness that runs in the family. Join us if you dare... as our other daughter Kenna joins the show to share her true and terrifying encounters.
