Does the mothman have any facts?

none but theres like a 99 percent chance he was real in some places there are statues of him and he was seen in a bridge collapsing he was thought dead after that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

idiot, there is no proof he exists. just pecause there are statues doesn't

mean he is alive. I have never seen him and I can color a picture. If anything

the statues prove he doesnt exist, because they all look different, but based

off of the same idea. They create him to what the IMAGINE he would look like

not what they had "seen". I know the bridge u are talking about, and no one

thought they saw him there, unless they were hyped up on drugs. that bridge

collapse was a natural disaster caused by natural things, there is evidence of that, so dont get confused the facts with fantasy.
