Unknown to many people, the deaths attributed to The Mothman far exceed just the forty-six lost during the bridge collapse in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Some of the events sighted in this list seem a bit of a stretch but others are very peculiar, and there is enough of the latter to suggest that maybe many of these events are more than just coincidence.
