— The Megamouth Shark looks worse than it is. An extremely large type of shark characterized by his big head and lips, the Megamouth grows to about 18 feet and was first discovered only in 1976. Since that time, only 39 have been sighted or taken as of 2007.

—Mothman—a winged creature with a human-like body and glowing red eyes–was seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 and 1967. After the appearance of this creature, men in black also are reported to have appeared. There are eyewitnesses who have claimed to have seen Mothman, and a German Shepherd’s death attributed to him. Mothman was so named by a fan of the Batman series following reports of the creature’s appearance, and the name stuck. Some speculate that Mothman was a bird or another natural creature mutated by exposure to chemicals in a town plant.
Mothman was reported to have been seen flying over the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant immediately prior to its collapse in December of 1967; some accordingly say that the beast portends disaster, or has prophetic powers. A movie called The Mothman Prophecies and starring Richard Gere was made in 2002. The Mothman continues to be a cottage industry in Point Plesant, West Virginia where a statue of Mothman has been erected.
