As with the Loch Des Monster, Bigfoot and the Chupacabra, you don't need to have any real interest in strange creatures to know of the Mothman. The controversy began on November 12, 1966. Although Mothman is so deeply tied to the city of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the first encounter, on November 12, 1966, actually occurred in a graveyard near Clendon in West Virginia, which is around 80 miles from Point Pleasant. The creature was described as being winged, brown in color and humanoid. But not all witnesses have identified the monster in such a fashion. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird Darkness. Welcome, Weirdos. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird Darkness. Here you'll find stories of the paranormal, supernatural, legends, lore, the strange and bizarre, crime, conspiracy, mysterious, macabre, unsolved and unexplained. Coming up in this episode. Its first sighting was described as half-man and half-beast, standing about 5 feet 6 inches with a tall, pointed head. Whatever it was that he had seen, he was convinced it was neither a bear nor a monkey. We take a look at the mysterious creature, the Yeti. On May 16, 1929, Al Capone was arrested in Philadelphia on gun-carrying charges. But it was a put-up job that unfortunately led to a year in prison and Capone's first encounters with the ghost that he believed haunted him to the grave. Seeing an intruder while in the shower might sound cliche for the movies, but not so much what it happens in real life. Multiple women have disappeared without a trace from what has become known as Ireland's vanishing triangle. Their fates still remain a mystery. When you see something out of the corner of your eye, simply to turn and not see anything there, is it your imagination or is something else at work? But first, the ancient pterodactyl, the legendary thunderbird, the cryptid known as the Mothman, could they all be one and the same? We begin there. If you're new here, welcome to the show.

Now, bolt your doors, lock your windows, turn off your lights, and come with me into the Weird Darkness. Point Pleasant, West Virginia is a city of around four and a half thousand people. In 1774, the city became the site of a violent confrontation between the forces of Colonel Andrew Lewis and Native Americans from the Shawnee and Mego groups and overseen by Shawnee Chief Cornstock. It was a bloody battle. Three nights after the Bizarre Affair at Clendon, the roughly seven foot tall monster turned up at Point Pleasant, its large wings and red eyes prominent. The witnesses were Linda and Roger Scarberry and Stephen Mary Millette. The specific place was the West Virginia Ordinance Works. Today it's called the McClintic Wildlife Management Area. It's not surprising the friends hit the road at high speed and raced to tell the local cops of what had just gone down. The beast was soon seen again. One of the witnesses was a man named Thomas Urie. At the time, he was driving along the city's Route 62, whereas some witnesses described Mothman taking to the skies in conventional fashion, in other words by flapping its wings. Others, including Urie, said the monster just opened its wings and then rose vertically into the skies above and in a fashion very much like that of a helicopter. The wings apparently played no role at all in getting the creature off the ground. Whereas Urie said the creature was gray in color, the grave diggers at Clendon were sure Mothman was brown. Regular sightings continued all around Point Pleasant until practically the end of 1967. On December 15, the city's Silver Bridge collapsed into the waters of the Ohio River, killing dozens of local people. It's not surprising that many within Point Pleasant felt that Mothman had something to do with the terrible tragedy. Some saw Mothman as the cause of the disaster. Others suspected that Mothman was an entity that warned of rather than caused death in Mayhem. People have claimed that sightings of Mothman came to a complete end after the collapse of the Silver Bridge, but that's not so. There are numerous post-1967 reports, but they are far less in number. One such report came from a woman who saw what she believed to have been Mothman in 1988 and on the fringes of the city. She, however, described something that very much resembled the legendary Thunderbird of Native American culture, a huge bird with brightly colored feathers. Another told of an encounter in 1971. What she was absolutely sure was nothing less than a living, flying pterodactyl, a creature that lived from the Triassic to the Cretaceous period, which spanned millions of years. The location was extremely close to the encounter of the Scarberries and the Mallets in 1967. So what have we here? It's a creature that's described as variously having a gray color, a brown color, and bright colored feathers. Some describe it as using its wings to take to the skies. Others said it bizarrely just opened its wings and rose into the sky with no effort at all. Some say it was a humanoid in nature. Others say it was eagle-like or something akin to a pterodactyl. In light of all this weirdness, I'll leave you with a controversial question to ponder upon. Is Mothman a shapeshifter? The first disappearance was in March 1993. A young American woman from New York, 26 years old, named Annie McCarrick, she was living in Dublin sharing an apartment with two young women and trying to learn about her Irish heritage. The last sighting of her was in a pub called Johnny Foxes. Her mother and father flew to Ireland in hopes of finding their daughter. They remained in the country for six months before returning home in despair. No trace of their daughter was ever found. It might have remained an isolated tragedy, but four months later another young woman disappeared, Eva Brennan, 36. She too had last been seen in a pub. Over the next five years, more women disappeared. Some media outlets cite eight total disappearances while others connect six names to the case. It became clear that all the vanishings happened within a geographical triangle surrounding Dublin. So was born the name vanishing triangle. Dubliners began to fear they had an active serial killer in their midst. Then, as abruptly as the disappearances began, they ended. The last was in 1998, Deirdre Jacob, an 18-year-old university student home for the summer. Her disappearance was the most mysterious. She was seen moments before she vanished, in broad daylight, just 200 yards from her parents' front door as she returned to the house. Over the years, suspicion has fallen on several known and suspected killers in connection with the rash of disappearances. But without bodies or crime scenes, police had little to work with. One of the chief suspects in the case was a 36-year-old carpenter named Larry Murphy. At the time of the disappearances, he did not have a criminal record. But in February 2000, he was convicted of a brutal rape. He had been stalking a young office worker. As she walked by his car, he hit her in the face and forced her into his trunk. He drove her to a secluded spot and raped her. Murphy was apparently startled by two men and fled. His victim survived. She had been abducted inside the area known as the Vanishing Triangle. But there has been no conclusive evidence that Murphy was responsible for the eight earlier disappearances, and all remain unsolved. Although convicted for the rape and attempted murder of the office worker, Murphy was released in 2010, serving only 10 years. Many Irish citizens were alarmed by this, and due to the uproar, Murphy fled the country. He spent years in Spain, but is reportedly living in Cork today. And since then, there have been no mysterious vanishings attributed to the Triangle. A couple of months ago, I had a possible haunting at my workplace. And ever since then, I have begun to notice some strange activity at home as well. One Saturday, I had woke up in the morning and went downstairs to have breakfast. Everything was normal. After breakfast, I went back upstairs and found that a nightlight that's in the upstairs hallway was laying on the floor a couple feet away from the outlet that it was plugged into. I hadn't seen that earlier, so I know I didn't knock it out of the outlet by accident. But initially, I just assumed it wasn't plugged in all the way or something, and maybe it just fell out when I shut a door or some other logical explanation. After that, I started to see things in my house. The sort of stuff where you think you see someone out of the corner of your eye, but by the time you actually look that direction, there's nothing there. Besides that, I would be in my living room, and I could swear I heard someone walking upstairs, like actual footsteps, not just random pops and creaks. But again, I would go to investigate it, and as soon as I would start up the stairs, it would stop. One night, I was sleeping in my bedroom, and I woke up to some noises in the hallway outside my bedroom. It sounded like someone was sneaking down the hallway. I was quite startled, so I grabbed a gun that I keep in a safe under my bed and went to investigate. And again, found nothing and no sign that anyone was there. I feel that I should also mention that roughly six months ago, I purchased one of those canary security cameras that connects to your phone that detects movement inside the house. The only time I ever got notifications was occasionally when the camera would switch from IR to non-IR in the morning, and even then it wouldn't actually notify me it would just save the clip. And when a car's headlights would shine through the window at night. That was until this morning. I left my house around 7am to go to work, and about 20 minutes later I got a notification saying that activity had been detected. I pulled over and opened my app to watch the video. Initially when I watched it, I thought it was just dust blowing through the house. But then I started to question it, especially since it's never been set off by dust particles before. As I looked closer at the object, I also realized it was leaving a trail behind it as it moved through the room which seemed unusual. It's a 12MP camera, so it's not like it's an extremely grainy video or anything like that. But being the skeptic I am, I'm still not 100% convinced it's paranormal, but it did strike me as a bit strange. I was doing some research online and found that most people say dust particles are typically symmetrical and a true paranormal orb is usually in odd shape. After zooming in on the object in my video, I found that it is not symmetrical at all. Again, not saying it's an actual orb, because orbs always made me roll my eyes and say that it was just dust. But it does have me wondering if maybe there is more to the orb situation than I always thought. Fingers crossed that it's just dust. Up next, Al Capone's crimes lead to him being haunted by a ghost that follows him the rest of his life. Plus, seeing an intruder while in the shower might sound cliche for the movies, but not so much when it happens to you. And its first sighting was described as half-man and half-beast, standing about 5 feet 6 inches, with a tall, pointed head. Whatever it was he had seen, he was convinced it was neither a bear nor a monkey. We take a look at the mysterious creature, the Yeti, coming up on Weird Darkness.

On May 16, 1929, Al Capone was arrested in Philadelphia on gun-carrying charges. But it was a put-up job that unfortunately led to a year in prison and Capone's first encounter with the ghost that he believed haunted him to his grave. Capone left Chicago a week before, allegedly to attend a prize fight in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The real reason for the trip was to attend a meeting between racketeers from all over the country who planned to form a commission to resolve disputes among its members in a peaceful business-like fashion. At least this was the stated reason for the gathering. As Capone would discover over the course of the next few days, there was a hidden agenda, to strip him of his power and profits because of the publicity and heat that had been generated by what newspapers had called the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. The guests of this gathering included Capone, Jake Guzik, Frank Rio and Frank Needy from Chicago, Buhu Hoff and Nick Rosen from Philadelphia, Abe Bernstein from the Purple Gang in Detroit, Leo Berkowitz and Mo Dallitz from Cleveland, Joe Lazia from Kansas City, Longy Zulman from New Jersey and Daniel Walsh from Rhode Island. The New York contingent was the most formidable and the angriest at Capone. It was made up of Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz, Charles Lucky Luciano, Albert Anastasia, Louis Pechaltor, Ben Siegel, Joe Adonis and Frank Costello. They also brought with them Johnny Torrio. All of them were upset with Capone for killing Frankie Yale without permission and for having the gall to do it on their home territory. The delegates talked for three days, often walking on the beach where they could be far away from prying ears. They adopted a series of resolutions, some designed to cut Capone down to size and others to lay a groundwork for organized crime after prohibition. The delegates also formed a commission with retired Torrio as the head, which would deal with all the disagreements between members. Capone managed to maintain his power in Chicago. In fact, the small North and South Side gangs were to be merged under his leadership. He did have to agree to some concessions though, namely that there would be no more killing and that the new head of the Chicago Unionist Leona would be Capone's enemy, Joe Aiello. It was also decided that it would be a good idea for Capone to go to jail. Not only would it allow the heat from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre to continue to cool, but it might be just the thing to save Capone's life. George Moran had not attended the Atlantic City Conference. He, along with a few scattered remnants of his gang, was still plotting to kill Capone. Also, as Capone knew, a number of Chicago Sicilians had sworn to avenge Scalise, Anselmi and Guta, who had been murdered just days before Capone left town. Threatened by killers and harassed by other members of the New Syndicate, Capone decided on the same course that Torrio had taken when he was in fear of his life from O'Banion and his North Side gang. He had himself jailed. Capone had become friendly at the Hialeah race track the year before with a Philadelphia detective named James Shuey Malone. So as soon as the conference ended, on May 16th, he telephoned a friend in Philadelphia and asked him to get a message to Malone. He and Frank Rio then drove to the city and decided to go to the movies at a theater on Market Street. When they came out around 9 p.m., Malone and another detective, John Creighton, were waiting for them. You're all Capone, aren't you? Malone asked. My name is Al Brown, Capone replied, but you can call me Capone if you want to. Who are you? The detectives flashed their badges. Ah, bulls, eh? Here's my gun. He handed over a .38 caliber revolver, thereby establishing the grounds to arrest and convict him for carrying a concealed weapon. He elbowed Rio, who also handed over his revolver. The police magistrate before whom they were arraigned shortly after midnight fixed bail at $35,000 each. They only had a few thousand bucks between them and the two lawyers that Capone had sent for, Bernard L. Lemish and Cornelius Hagerty Jr. accused the police of railroading their clients into jail. Capone just smiled. Railroading was exactly what he wanted. The judge imposed the maximum sentence of one year. As Capone was led off with the unlucky Frank Rio to Philadelphia's Holmesburg County Prison, he took a diamond ring from his finger and handed it to his attorney, instructing him to get it to his brother Ralph. Between arrest and imprisonment, only 16 hours had passed. Holmesburg, with more than 1,700 prisoners jammed into cells built to hold only 600, was one of the country's worst county jails. A few weeks before Capone entered it, the prisoners rioting over bad food and brutal guards set fire to their mattresses. The word went out from Chicago that a $50,000 fee awaited any attorney that could get Capone out of Holmesburg. None succeeded. The same fee was offered to the district attorney in Philadelphia, John Monaghan, as a bribe to procure Capone's release, but he turned it down. Luckily for Capone, he was transferred in August to the city's larger and more orderly eastern state penitentiary. There, Warren Herbert B. Smith made him more comfortable, giving him a private cell and letting him furnish it with rugs, pictures, a chest of drawers, double bed, bookshelf lamps, and a $500 radio console. As his work assignment, he drew the comfortable job of library file clerk. Capone continued to conduct business from prison. He was allowed to make long-distance telephone calls from the warden's office and to meet with his lawyers and with Frank Needy, Jake Gusek, and his brother Ralph, all of whom made frequent trips to Philadelphia. For ordinary inmates, visiting hours were limited to Sunday, but Capone's family and friends could come any day. He also met often with reporters who kept their readers up-to-date on Capone's schedule, daily life, and reading habits. He bought $1,000 worth of arts and crafts made by his fellow inmates and mailed them to friends as Christmas presents. He donated $1,200 to a Philadelphia orphanage. Such seemingly good-hearted deeds aroused a great deal of sympathy for Capone. Civil engineer from Chicago, a total stranger to Capone, coming to Philadelphia on business, got permission to visit him, warmly shook his hand and told him, Al, we're with you. Shortly after arriving at Eastern State, Capone had to have his tonsils out. The surgeon who performed the operation, Dr. Herman Goddard of the Pennsylvania State Board of Prison Inspections, could barely contain the admiration that he felt for his infamous patient. In my seven years' experience, he said, I have never seen a prisoner so kind, so cheery, and accommodating. But Capone was not always cheery and accommodating at Eastern State, especially at night, after the lights had gone out. It was at Eastern State Penitentiary during those dark nights when a terrifying memory of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre came back to visit Al Capone. That memory's name was James Clark. It was while he was incarcerated at Eastern State that Capone first began to be haunted by the ghost of James Clark, a member of the North Side Gang and one of the men killed during the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. While in prison, other inmates reported that they could hear Capone screaming in a cell, begging Jimmy to go away and leave him alone. No one had any idea what he was talking about. Capone was alone in his cell. During the daylight hours, he refused to speak about it. Later, that would change. After his return to Chicago, Capone would speak often about the ghost and about the curse that haunted his life. He even went so far as to hire a spirit medium to try and convince the ghost to leave. Was the ghost real? Did Capone imagine the whole thing, or was he already showing signs of the psychosis that would haunt him after his release from Alcatraz years later? Capone certainly believed the ghost was real, and over the course of the next few years, the haunting would become more and more intense, reaching a point when Capone was not the only person to encounter the vengeful spirit of James Clark. This happened when I was in high school and I was ticking my nightly showers before bed. In the shower there's a small sliding window that was built high. I could just barely reach the bottom part of the window unless I tiptoed. I always felt paranoid about that window, thinking someone could be looking inside, so I'm always watching it. Not that it ever happened in all the years I've lived there. That night it was different. A hand suddenly appeared on the window. The tip of the fingers from thumb to pinky pressed against the glass. The fingers didn't look normal. It reminded me of E.T.'s fingers, those rounded, strange tips. My heart raced, fearing a face would appear, but I kept my eyes on it until I quickly got out of the shower, wrapped myself in a towel, and screamed out of the bathroom. My mother came out of the kitchen where she was washing the dishes. My father came out of the bedroom where he was getting ready for bed, and my two brothers showed up from the living room wondering what had happened. There's something outside, I said, trembling. I could still feel the chills on my skin from when it happened. Quickly my older brother and father took a machete and walked outside to the back to catch the guy. I explained to my mom about the hand appearing as she tried to calm me. My brother and father came back and said that they couldn't find the person, and that it'd be impossible for anybody to reach that window. You see the cemented base of my house against my 4'10' height was as high as my hips. When you travel to the back of the house or the shower window faced, the ground goes lower so the base would be around my chest area. I knew that there was a water pipe that wrapped around the house and I said that maybe he was standing on that. The hand on the window didn't look like it was reaching but was casually placed there like the person had the perfect height for the window. My brother says that it was still impossible for anyone to reach it as he goes back outside and kept watch. The next morning I checked that area and knew that my brother was right. If a person should ever stand on that pipe, he or she would be 7 feet tall or more. I'm 27 now. I still don't know what that was that night. Could it be those neighbor boys trying to take a peek at me or could it be just something else? My parents still live in that house and whenever I go back home for vacation, I'm always still looking out that window. It was in August 1951 the renowned mountain climber Eric Shipton embarked upon his fifth expedition to Mount Everest along with climbers Sir Edmund and Hillary, Earl Riddiford, Mike Ward, Sherpa Santensing and several others. As the expedition neared its end and while the team explored an area to the southwest of Everest, mysterious footprints were found and photographed. Shipton stated it was one of the glaciers of the Menlong Basin at a height of about 19,000 feet that late one afternoon we came across those curious footprints in the snow. He continued, I have in the past found many sets of these curious footprints and have tried to follow them but have always lost them. Santensing, who had no doubt whatever that the creatures for there had been at least two that had made the tracks were yetis or wild men, told me that two years before he and a number of other Sherpas had seen one of them at a distance of about 25 yards at Thayingbosch. Shipton added that he, Tensing, described it as half man and half beast, standing about five feet six inches with a tall pointed head. Whatever it was that he had seen, he was convinced that it was neither a bear nor a monkey. And the idea that the prints were made by the famous Yeti was bolstered in the minds of Shipton, his colleagues, and the media of the day as a direct result of the startling fact that they were an impressive 13 inches long and eight inches wide. Not everyone was convinced, however. Dr. T.C.S. Morrison Scott of the Natural History Department of the British Museum was certain that Shipton had been fooled by nothing stranger than the tracks of a langur monkey, an animal that is common to the Himalayas, that's not unlike the creatures reportedly seen by Sherpa Tensing. The flaw in his theory, however, was that the langur is five-toed and generally walks on all fours, whereas the creature that made the prints in the Shipton photographs was clearly four-toed, massive, and appeared to walk exclusively on two feet. Indeed, Shipton himself recognized the problems with the langur theory when he stated in the Six Mountain Travel Books, of the various theories that have been advanced to account for these tracks, the only one which is in any way plausible is that they were made by a langur monkey, and even this is very far from convincing as I believe those who have suggested it would be the first to admit. Perhaps not surprisingly, the controversy was never firmly resolved to anyone's satisfaction and as a result has rumbled on at a steady pace in monster-hunting circles ever since. Moving on from the Shipton photographs, further intriguing evidence exists that leads many modern-day Yeti seekers to conclude that the abominable snowman is far more than just the stuff of legend, fantasy, and misidentification. The creature has a long history in both Nepal and Tibet, and tales of encounters with the hairy animal have been reported for centuries. As far back as 1832, for example, explorer B. H. Hodgson reported in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal that the existence of a large ape-like creature of the Himalayas had long been known to the people of Nepal. Similarly, in 1889, in the pages of Among the Himalayas, writer and adventurer L. A. Waddle recorded that he had heard countless stories of the legendary giant ape from those who lived among the mountains. Most feared of all by the locals of Tibet and Nepal centuries ago was the Nyalmo, a fierce and gigantic beast said to be related to the Yeti that reputedly inhabited the mountaintops and supposedly grew to an astonishing height of 15 feet. The Yeti takes its name from the ancient Tibetan word Yate, which literally translates as rock bear. For many Tibetans, however, the Yeti is not a physical animal. Rather, it is perceived as being a paranormal creature, a spectral animal that is most successfully seen while the witness is in a trance-like altered state. The far more evocative term of abominable snowman originated in 1921 with Henry Newman, a writer for the Calcutta India-based statesman newspaper. It was in 1921 that Britain's Royal Geographical Society launched an expedition to the Himalayas that was led by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Howard Burie. During the course of the expedition, Howard Burie came across unusual footprints that the local Sherpa Guides claimed originated with what they called the Mehto Kongme, or the Man Bear Snowman. When the story was told to Henry Newman of the statesman, however, Newman mistakenly interpreted the word Mehto as to mean filthy. And while the term filthy snowman sounded merely amusing, Newman eventually came up with the far more headline-grabbing and ominous name of the Abominable Snowman. And thus, the monster of the Himalayas quickly became a household word, and sightings of the beast abounded. In 1925, a Greek photographer N. A. Tombini claimed to have seen a yeti high on the Himalayas. Unquestionably, the figure in outline was exactly like a human being, walking upright and stopping to uproot or pull up at some dwarf Rotodendron bushes, he said, adding, it showed up dark against the snow and as far as I could make out wore no clothes. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary reported finding large, unknown footprints while he climbed Mount Everest. And in 1970, British mountain climber Don Willens watched through binoculars as a hairy, ape-like animal apparently searched for food a short distance from his camp on Annapurna, a series of 55-kilometer-long peaks in the Himalayas. In January 1987, a small yeti was said to have attacked a young boy in Northern Kashmir who reportedly proceeded to hit the creature on the head with a pot until it released him. 2000, a woman claimed to have seen a giant, hairy, man-like animal roaming her land in Medog County, which could be found in Southeast Tibet. Since then, sightings have dramatically declined. You can email me anytime with your questions or comments at darron at WeirdDarkness.com. Darron is D-A-R-R-E-N.
