Do you believe there is a connection between Mothman sightings and the Silver Bridge collapse in 1967?

Question

At 5 PM on 15 December 1967, the Silver Bridge near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, fell into the Ohio River, causing the death of about 43 persons (who had been in cars in a traffic jam on the bridge). After that, the mothman was never seen in the area again. Do you think there is a connection?

Answer 1

hi I've only ever seen the film about it , it intrigued me so much i bought the DVD and have watched it several times since , i don't really know to be honest very strange like an omen, everything was leading up to the moment when the bridge collapsed , very sad and even sadder because it was a true story , strange that it's never been seen since you may have something there xx

Answer 2

John Keel wrote a fairly good book concerning Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant. The movie was based very loosely on the Keel's book. Yes, there is a very definite connection, as is pointed out in both the movie and the book.
