USA news on Youtube Apr 20 2018

- [Ryan] So we're on our way to Point Pleasant,

West Virginia, home of the Mothman.

I think you're gonna really like this town.

- [Shane] I think we're in the moth nest.

- If we're gonna find a moth man, it's gonna be out here.

- Mothman!

- This goes beyond belief. - Are you scared?

- Sh.

(spooky music)

Mothman!

This week on Buzzfeed Unsolved, we travel to Point Pleasant,

^West Virginia, as we dip our toes

^back into the cryptid pool again

^to search for the famed creature.

The Mothman.

- Oh, very impressive. - Can you see that?

- That's good.

- You'll see firsthand when we travel to West Virginia,

which we're gonna do soon after I.

- What do you need these for?

- Well these are my Mothman gloves.

I use these to catch it, look at the grip.

I grip him by the talons.

- Are you supposed to read the?

- Yeah, let's get into it.

The Mothman is a cryptozoological creature

^that is thought to have made its first appearance in 1966.

^Witnesses have described the creature to be manlike

in stature, often seen walking on its two hind legs.

The Mothman is spotted primarily at night

and its color is tough to discern.

Sometimes, it's described as gray.

Other times, as brown.

However, the gigantic frame of the Mothman

is largely undisputed.

Across all accounts, the Mothman is a physically imposing

specimen ranging from six to eight feet tall.

As its name would suggest, the Mothman is capable of flight,

sporting two enormous wings with a monstrous

eight- to 15-foot wingspan.

One chilling detail that is reported in many sightings

is the Mothman's unforgettable and haunting red eyes,

a red described by woman as, quote,

"Red like you never saw red," end quote.

- [Shane] Moths aren't even scary.

People say Mothman and I don't, I don't shiver.

- [Ryan] I think he's called Mothman not because he looks

like a giant moth, a giant moth would have almost

butterfly-y wings, right?

- [Shane] He doesn't have butterfly wings?

- [Ryan] He looks kinda more like Batman's wings.

- [Shane] Well then they shouldn't call him a Mothman!

- [Ryan] We'll take it up with whoever made it up.

- The Sky Beast. - Sky Beast.

You just literally put together the two things that it's.

- Moon Monster. - That's pretty dumb.

- The Cloud Fiend. - No.

Let's go through some other ones.

- Wanna see my other ones?

- Yeah, what are the other ones you got?

- The Evil Eagle.

Dr. Sky Shadow.

Mr. Wind Biter.

- Mr. Wind Biter.

- You know, he's flying through the air.

(snarls)

- You said it out loud, you're still gonna stand by it?

- Teeth gnashing.

(snarling)

- That's good, but what about like...

No, it's bad. - What do you got?

Just say your bad one.

- It was, I was gonna say Wingatron.

- Wingatron.

- That sounds. - That sounds like a robot.

- Yeah, it's like a robot, yeah.

It was in Point Pleasant, West Virginia,

where the Mothman became famous.

Hence our presence in the town now.

In fact, a statue of the famed creature

sits in the center of town for those seeking

a face-to-face encounter.

Stop number one, Mothman statue.

- [Shane] It looks very ornate.

- [Ryan] You'll be able to stare at it eye to eye.

- [Shane] What's that supposed to mean?

- It means you're eight feet tall, it's a tall joke.

Get it?

Look at its eyes.

- [Shane] Yeah they're a beautiful amber or something.

- I was gonna say they're pure terror.

I could feel it coursing through my veins.

- [Shane] Oh my god, he's got a full six-pack, look at that!

- [Ryan] This guy definitely P90X's.

- He's like a George Clooney Batman.

- Hopefully this isn't our only face-to-face encounter

with the Mothman, maybe we'll find one in the woods

and he'll look nothing like this

and we'll have to contact the Board of West Virginia

and say, you need to change your statue

'cause the boys have solved it.

- Yeah, I certainly don't think he's gonna have

GI Joe armor on.

- You don't think he's gonna have the bat suit on?

The knee pads? - That's a little odd.

See this guy's ass, by the way?

- [Ryan] Oh my god!

The purpose of our pilgrimage to Point Pleasant

is to catch a glimpse of the Mothman,

but if that effort proves to be fruitless,

we can still enjoy the influence of Mothmania

that is ever-present across town.

For starters, there's an annual Mothman Festival

every September and Motham souvenirs sit stocked on shelves,

ready for eager tourists year round.

At the Coffee Grinder, you can order various Mothman treats

including chocolate Mothman droppings,

Mothman coffee, as well as a delightful Mothman cookie

complete with red eyes.

This is the Coffee Grinder, this is one of the many

locations around town where you can pick up

some Mothman treats. Are you excited?

- Yeah, they got a little Mothman lives here.

- He does.

- He's sort of like the funny little mascot of this town.

- Good mascot.

(cheerful music)

Oh man.

This is nice and cozy.

And look at that.

- [Shane] Yeah, feels right.

- You think he'll look this friendly when we see him?

- [Shane] Probably, I don't know if he'll be

smiling like that.

Yeah, that's better.

Stop that.

- What do you think his voice would sound like?

It's me, the Mothman.

It's me, the Mothman. - There you go, yeah.

- You boys from out of town?

(laughs)

(cheerful music)

Shall we eat some droppings?

- Mm, mhmm.

- [Ryan] Okay this feels weird, I don't know.

- Feels right.

Mm.

- Sweet starter and a nutty, a crunchy finish.

We have the adult here and then the baby.

I'm greatly enjoying this moment, this is nice.

- This is really something. - This is good.

- Mm. - Now we take a sip.

This is good, is this what those Worth It boys feel like?

- Not enough gold.

- Finally, at Village Pizza, you can order the delectable

namesake Mothman pizza.

Oh you're going through that door,

I was gonna open the door, alright.

What the, Jesus Christ.

This Mothman pizza honors pedestrian toppings

with the responsibility of mimicking the look

of the famed creature.

The clever arrangement enlists blood-red cherry tomatoes

for eyes, bell peppers for feet,

and spooky mushrooms for wings.

- [Shane] So this is very fun for them.

- [Ryan] He is without a doubt a big part of their commerce

in terms of tourism.

- Huh. - If I'm going

to Point Pleasant, West Virginia,

I would go there for the Mothman.

- Yeah. - And these people

are onboard.

- [Shane] I just like that the town can rally around it.

- [Ryan] Some people have posited that the people

of this town have made Mothman up as a beacon of tourism.

- Oh, Ryan. - Which I don't buy.

- Impossible. - I don't buy for a second.

- Nah, I sniffed for bullshit.

Full proof, passed the Bergara smell test.

- I don't trust that test one bit.

- I do.

Because it's my test.

(laughs)

- Shut up.

(upbeat music)

- Alright, there it is. - Ooh, thank you.

- [Ryan] He's looking at me right now.

- Look at those beady little eyes,

they kinda look like yours.

- [Ryan] Look at me now, Shane.

What do you think of me? - I like this guy.

I like his vibe. - Oh thanks.

We got the wings right here.

Torso, little bell pepper feet.

That's amazing.

- If I saw this in the woods,

I wouldn't necessarily be all that scared.

- Actually, the eyes would be pretty terrifying.

- [Shane] Yeah, those are actually creepy.

- I don't know, I like it, I dig it,

I can't wait to eat his body.

- I call one of the eye pieces.

- There's only two of us here

so I'm gonna obviously get the other one.

- Fine.

(cheerful music)

- It's good.

While at Village Pizza, the manager sat with us

^to share a story of a Mothman sighting.

What's the scariest tale you've heard from someone

in terms of sighting the Mothman?

- Danny Scarborough's mother.

She said that one night she had to fight him off,

she'd come in to get Danny, she was like six months old,

was in her bed, and she had to fight the Mothman off

while she was trying to grab the baby.

- He was trying to steal her baby.

- Yeah, I mean that was her story, but I mean,

she was very convincing and it's sad to say,

she's dead and gone now, but that was a very scary.

- She fought the Mothman.

- Well she didn't. - Oh my god.

- She didn't actually fight him,

but she wrestled and got her baby from him.

- Oh, yikes. - That's her story.

- Well that was educational. - That was good.

- Got my souvenirs, it was good.

(church bells ringing)

It's time.

These two weirdly optimistic pilgrims are ready to embark

on our menacing Mothman mission.

Let's begin at the main sighting that started Mothmania

as we know it.

Alright, so this is the McClintic Wildlife Management Area.

This is the area of the main sighting.

- [Shane] This looks like the kind of area you'd see

a Mothman. - A Mothman, exactly, right.

Sparse.

- Not a lot of people out here.

- Yeah, there's parts that are densely wooded.

- This seems like a good road to be terrified on.

- During World War II, 8000 acres of a wooded area

near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, were employed

to manufacture and house explosives.

The explosives were housed in concrete igloos

dispersed across the land.

After the war, the effort was abandoned

and the area was partially converted into a wildlife

preserve that is now known today

as the McClintic Wildlife Management Area.

In the '80s, it was uncovered that byproducts

of the explosives had critically contaminated the land.

And yet, to this day, the igloos and some of their

hazardous materials remained.

Some speculate that this contamination mutated local birds

into what would eventually become the Mothman.

But that's purely speculation.

- I don't think that's how that stuff works.

- [Shane] I think usually if you come into contact

with maybe something radioactive or something, you die.

- Or, you turn into the Mothman.

I mean, what are the odds of it?

They aint zero.

We'll park here and then we'll make our way out

into the Wildlife Preserve.

It's daytime right now but.

Nightfall's gonna come soon.

And you know I always come prepared.

I mean, there's hunters around here, I don't wanna get shot.

- No I know, we don't want you to get shot.

- So I'm breaking out old faithful.

- No helmet this time? - No,

I don't have any reports of Mothman hitting people

over the head with rocks, so I don't think it's necessary

this time around.

- I guess, you know, in some sense,

you may be making yourself a better target for Mothman

to just fly out of the sky and grab you by his talons.

- Maybe he'll be a lot like Bigfoot and be like,

oh what a colorful vest.

- You think we should try and bro down with Mothman too?

- Oh yeah, I didn't bring a beer for him,

he doesn't strike me as a beer type,

he strikes me more as a wine guy.

- He struck me as like a field mice kinda guy.

- Despite the dangerous materials stored there

^in years past, in 1966, this area, often called the TNT

area, was a popular destination for local youth.

As such, on November 15th, 1966, Steve and Mary Mallette

and Roger and Linda Scarberry were enjoying a leisurely

drive through the TNT area.

Unfortunately, their amusement would come to a screeching

halt when the two women, Linda and Mary,

spotted a figure near the TNT plant.

The figure began to move towards the building's entrance

in a shuffling manner, providing them a fine opportunity

to observe the creature.

While they initially thought it looked a lot like a man,

it clearly did not have arms or a head.

It had massive folded wings high on the back

and perhaps most noteworthy, two beaming red eyes.

So my guess is the couples were somewhere around here,

maybe on that road over there.

And I'm not sure of the exact location

but this is where they saw him stumbling around.

- They just saw him kinda shambling?

- Yeah. - Big shambling man.

- I don't know, maybe he was just taking a walk,

I mean, what's it to you?

- Why would you take a walk if you had wings?

- He's a fucking creature, he can do what he wants.

After being spellbound momentarily by the creature,

the couples came to their senses and took off in their car,

terrified.

Any thoughts on that so far?

(blows raspberry) - [Shane] Nope.

What year is it, '66?

- '66.

- Few teens out there, probably smoking a few

funny cigarettes. - You could say weed,

it's 2018. - Some grass.

- As they made their way towards Highway 62

in Roger Scarberry's 1957 Chevy,

they saw the being appear in front of them

and rise directly up into the sky.

The creature had a gargantuan 10-foot wingspan

and the couples noted that it did not need to flap its wings

as it chased the car at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.

Quote, "Gliding above and behind the vehicle," end quote.

The creature made a noise similar to a quote,

"record played at a high speed or squeak of a mouse,"

end quote.

(laughs)

Not exactly the most terrorizing sound.

And this is why I think maybe these people aren't lying

because if they were lying, that seems like a weird detail

to make up.

You would say, it opened its mouth and the mountains moved

with the force of the roar.

- Yeah. - And they went,

no it squeaked like a little baby mouse.

(laughs)

That's what happened, I was terrified.

- [Shane] It was easy to do the Bigfoot call

at a very loud volume but it's gonna be hard out there.

- Give me your best Mothman squeak.

(clears throat)

- This is the noise you're gonna make

to try and attract another Moth person.

- I'm gonna try two different approaches to this.

- Okay, I can't wait to hear both.

- One's gonna be an exhale

and then one's gonna be an inhale.

So my first one is.

(squeaking)

That's one.

My other one is gonna be a little more high-pitched,

'cause it's gonna be the inhale.

(squeaking shrilly)

- The first one was alright, I'll give you that.

The second one kinda sounded like

you were smothering a dolphin.

Also your eyes kinda rolled back,

it was just a weird performance all around.

- It's a gift.

- I guess I could try one.

- Yeah, try an inhale.

(wheezes)

(squeaks shrilly)

You sounded like a pig giving birth.

- I thought mine was rather good.

Sound off in the comments, whose screech.

- Chime off, let us know.

- Fortunately, the creature stopped chasing the couples

and disappeared as the couples neared

the populated area of town.

Linda Scarberry wanted to report it to the police,

but they were concerned that they would not

be taken seriously.

As a result, in an audacious move,

they decided to return to the place of the sighting

to confirm what they had seen.

To their affirmation-slash-terror,

they once again saw the creature,

this time stumbling around in a dark pasture.

This spurred the couples to head straight

for the Mason County Courthouse to file a report.

First off, by the way, most of the time,

people naturally will just run away

and they'll tell the story.

Very few times have I seen a case where the people

would then return to the sight and try and confirm

that they weren't going crazy and that they actually saw

what they saw, and that's what these four people did.

- Yeah, it's very noble.

- Yeah, and they did that, they saw it,

they're like okay, we confirmed, now let's go to the police.

Deputy Millard Halstead was on hand to take the report.

Due to the size of the town,

Deputy Halstead knew the couples and believed their claims

to be sincere.

The handwritten eye-witness police reports

from the Mallettes and the Scarberrys

is actually on display at the Mothman museum.

The couples claim that the police put all four of them

in separate rooms and asked them each to write down

what happened that night.

All of the accounts match.

- [Shane] I mean, they're gonna, right?

- Okay, I'm gonna ask you to possibly incriminate yourself

a little bit. - Yeah, that's fine.

- Think of any time you've partaken in the smoking

of the ganja. - Yeah.

- Yeah? - Don't do drugs.

- Don't do drugs, first off, whatever.

- Legalize it. - I mean,

now it's legal so you can do whatever you want.

In California, it is, at least.

Anyways, think if you are smoking

with three of your buddies. - Yeah.

- And now imagine that you are so out of it

that you imagined a giant Moth creature.

- Mhmm. - And then after that,

you go to the police, one of the worst things

you could possibly do when you're high,

and then you all tell the same details of a story.

The only way I feel like you could tell something

with concrete details that match everybody else's story

is if it in fact happened,

at least when you're under the influence.

- That's true.

Okay, I'll give it to you.

This is a point for Mothman.

Understand, I want to believe in Mothman.

- Is this the part where when I made a good argument,

you're just gonna be like, well I believed it anyway.

- I said at the top of the show.

- You did say that. - Yeah.

- Watch yourself. - You watch yourself.

- You watch yourself.

- Why don't you write down some more names?

- The Gliding.

- Just cut it off, you don't want that.

- Gliding is a little too pleasant.

- [Ryan] Eventually, the couples and Deputy Millard Halstead

made their way back to the sighting area,

where they heard strange noises, saw strange shadows,

and an unexplained dust cloud.

A hooflike footprint was also found in the sand

around the area.

Linda Scarberry was treated for shock following the events

and reportedly experienced some unnerving phone calls

as well as visits by the men in black,

who would intimidate her.

- [Shane] I like those guys.

- Yeah. - Our old pals.

- [Ryan] Will Smith and Tommy Lee are back.

- What are you doing there? - You hear that?

You made a cameo in this one.

- Nothing to say about this one, huh?

- It's weird, he only moves when he wants to.

The morning after the Mothman sighting,

the Mason County Sheriff, George Johnson,

held a press conference, and from there,

the story started trending in local and national news.

Eventually, the creature was dubbed Mothman by the press,

inspired by the Batman series.

People actually thought he looked very much like Batman.

I read a report where a guy said,

"There's Batman on my neighbor's roof,

"he flew up into the sky."

- [Shane] He have a utility belt?

- [Ryan] I don't know if he had a utility belt.

But I will say, if I was a kid and I saw what I thought

was Batman on my neighbor's roof, I wouldn't be scared,

I would try and go get an autograph.

- Yeah, you'd be like, Batman, you're my favorite superhero

and he'd go. (squeaking)

(laughs) Never mind.

- Looking out, this is actually pretty serene

and beautiful in the daytime, but nightfall's almost upon us

and then that's when.

- That's when the boys come out.

- That's when the Mothman will come out.

And then we'll have him.

Sightings of the Mothman began to pile up.

Police estimated that over 1000 people were looking

for the Mothman each night until midnight.

And tonight, history, as it so often does,

will repeat itself as we attempt to find

the creature ourselves.

- [Shane] You genuinely believe

that there is a Mothman out here?

- I'm not so sure I'm sold on the Mothman

and here we are, but I will say, we're in the area

where the main sighting happened,

where a lot of the sightings happened.

If we're gonna find a Mothman, it's gonna be out here.

After the Scarberry-slash-Mallette sightings,

a Point Pleasant woman named Marcella Bennett,

her three-year-old daughter, her brother Raymond,

and her brother's wife encountered the Mothman

while visiting family friends.

Marcella explained in an interview with researcher

and author Andy Colvin, quote, "He was shaped like a male.

"The huge wings, the way he was standing,

"the head like a bird.

"I'll never forget the way he was standing.

"It was like he was just relaxing,

"like he was just waiting for that moment

"for me to walk up.

"The neck looked like it went down in, like a bird,

"way down in the neck.

"To me, it wasn't of this world," end quote.

Like Linda Scarberry, Marcella suffered side effects

after the incident, including anxiety,

paranoia, and nightmares.

- If I'm the Mothman, and I am not.

- I don't think anyone was saying that.

- I am not going to make people feel paranoid and afraid,

I'm gonna make them think, yeah, love that Mothman.

I'm gonna walk out into the woods naked

and serve myself up to the Mothman

so he can have a little feast.

Assuming the Mothman eats people.

- I mean, I don't know if that's what his game is.

- Oh. - But all I'm saying

is that what you need to gather from this

is that he has an effect on people's psyche.

- This Mothman's a complicated character.

- What does he sound like?

- He sounds like the Blood Bird.

Flappy Spookster.

- That's, come on.

- The Winged Wretch.

Did I already say that?

- This just says Fright Terror.

- You know, just call him a Batman, why is that hard?

- [Ryan] After encountering the Mothman,

Marcella Bennett also said that she could often feel

Mothman's unnerving presence and like other witnesses,

developed the ability to have premonitions

and psychic visions.

- [Shane] This is vaguely what I remember about that stupid

Richard Gere movie.

- [Ryan] Forget about the Richard Gere movie for a second.

- I will never. - And just think about this.

The Mothman is apparently able, he affects people's psyche

in a way where they start to wig out a bit.

Paranormal events follow this thing

so it makes you start to wonder what the hell

this thing actually is.

It may not just be a cryptid.

It may be, I don't know, an alien.

Linda Scarberry, the witness from the first Mothman

encounter, claimed to hear disembodied noises

and see items moving by themselves,

which she attributed to a poltergeist.

Simultaneously, other strange phenomena occurred

around the time of the sightings.

Interrupted police dispatches, malfunctioning electrical

appliances, doors mysteriously opening and shutting,

an increase in UFO sightings, and malfunctioning cars

with no apparent explanation.

- [Shane] Seems like they're just kinda

lumping it all in though, right?

- [Ryan] Or if he is like an inter-dimensional being,

he would obviously bring with him maybe chaos.

- [Shane] If you're an inter-dimensional being,

are you gonna make a scene like this?

- [Ryan] If you can jump between dimensions,

why not fuck around a little bit?

- [Shane] Oh he can jump back and forth?

- [Ryan] Yeah, kinda like a Cheshire cat.

- Or Q from Star Trek. - Or Rick and Morty.

If you could jump between dimensions,

why wouldn't you have a little fun?

It's gonna have any effect on your dimension.

- I'm coming around to this guy now.

This guy kinda cracks me up.

- He's in the cave somewhere, he has like a local antenna

set up, just watching the news.

Doors open and close in the neighborhood,

UFO sightings. (snickers)

(squeals)

He's sitting there, he's loving it.

Oh my god.

He's throwing popcorn.

(squealing)

(clears throat)

Holy shit, look at how red his face is.

Oh my god.

I thought I was gonna have to give you the Heimlich.

- Ooh, okay.

- [Ryan] So right now, I think we're about to come up

on one of those hidden igloos,

the ones that would hold explosives back in the day.

- [Shane] What kind of explosives did they hold in there?

- [Ryan] TNT.

Aren't you excited to go into one of these little bunkers?

It's a World War II bunker.

- [Shane] It is pretty neat.

How much action did Ohio see in World War II?

- [Ryan] Oh my.

- [Shane] Okay, well.

- [Ryan] Is it all good?

- [Shane] Definitely... an echo.

- Oh it's very icy. - Yeah.

Hello, ooh. - It's slippery.

I could see losing your mind in here.

What's this string right here?

- I don't know, pull it. - No I'm not gonna pull it.

You pull it. What if it's a trap?

What if the Mothman's sitting up there

just rubbing his palms together,

hoping that we pull his little string.

- [Shane] I was thinking like a grocery bag full of shit.

- [Ryan] Oh like he's Kevin McCallister from Home Alone?

- Here, hold something. - I'll hold your flashlight.

I have the camera in one hand.

Pretty confident there's no heat signatures in here.

Oh god, I'm actually scared.

- It's just a, snuff.

- That's where we die. - We explode.

- [Ryan] Skipping forward to modern times, in 2016,

a man who would not provide his name

claimed to have taken a photo of Mothman in West Virginia.

The photo shows a two-legged winged creature

flying over the trees.

However, most did not believe this is Mothman.

- I'm not terribly impressed.

That could just as easily be like a hawk.

- I don't think it's a hawk, I don't think it's an owl.

I do think it's a hoax.

- What year was it? - 2016.

- Shopped!

I gotta hand it to ya, these are some woods.

Look at this, you know what this is?

This is a giant nest.

(laughs)

I think we're in the moth nest.

- Man, if we just saw a silhouette fly over our heads

right now. - That'd be thrilling.

- Alright, I'm scanning the trees right now.

I guess that's what you would do, right?

(squeaking shrilly)

It's that Mothman hospitality, huh?

- I mean, has it responded to calls?

- Well we know what it sounds like, you would think,

logic would say if you make the noise,

maybe he'll be deceived.

Let's go deeper into the woods.

- [Shane] Okay.

- Strangely, an outbreak of sightings occurred in 2017

in Chicago.

According to the Chicago Tribune,

there were over 20 reports of a, quote, "winged humanoid,"

endquote, between April 7th, 2017,

and July 29th, 2017, alone.

The Tribune reports that the sightings are almost

always at night and near a body of water.

For those who don't believe, some have offered

alternative explanations for Mothman sightings.

Some believe that Mothman witnesses had seen

Sandhill Cranes, a species of bird that could have

a wingspan of 10 feet.

Though, a Sandhill Crane had never been officially spotted

in West Virginia at the time.

Although, some unofficial reports had been made.

- I see those a lot. - Sandhill Cranes?

- There's a lot in Illinois. - Do they sound like

a little mousey? - It sounds kinda like.

(cooing)

- [Ryan] Maybe Sandhill Cranes

are what the people in Chicago saw.

But there's none of those in West Virginia, officially.

- [Shane] Sandhill Cranes, look them up.

Fascinating bird, I'm gonna own one someday.

A taxidermied one, and it will be in my room.

- Some have pointed out that some birds' eyes,

such as owls, appear red when hit with light

from a flashlight or a car at night.

The McClintic Wildlife Management Area,

which surrounds the TNT area, is a bird sanctuary

that contains owls.

- Owls aren't that big. - No.

- [Shane] I can see someone maybe mistaking an owl

for something else or seeing an owl

and being confused by it. - One thing I will point out

and I don't know if this is confirmed

but I've seen it in a couple sources,

that Linda Scarberry, when she saw the Mothman,

she did claim that the eyes were only red

when she shined the light at it.

- It would make sense. - Either way,

she also did say this thing chased them in their car.

So pretty sure it's not an owl.

- [Shane] We should bring a gun.

(laughs)

It's not a joke.

- You know what?

This is a perfect time for us

to cut back to us investigating.

- Let's see where we are.

(laughs)

(exclaims)

- I thought I was getting carried up into the trees.

(laughs)

- Did you really? - As predicted,

this is fucking horrifying at nighttime.

Mothman, I guess he wouldn't respond to that, would he?

He doesn't even know his name is Mothman.

- [Shane] I mean, I don't know how intelligent it is,

if it can communicate things to people.

- Oh yeah, maybe.

Alright, are you gonna do your little?

- That's not a bad idea.

- You go first, I'll go second, how about that?

- Okay. - Yeah I'll get you here.

(squeaking shrilly)

Let's try it again.

(squeaking shrilly)

- That's record being played quickly.

- I guess.

Here, here we go. - You look like a nun.

- Do I? - A little bit,

in this view, yeah.

(laughs)

You really do.

- Is it in focus? - Yeah.

(squeaks shrilly)

- You look like a rave nun. - Shh.

(howling)

What the fuck. - Well those are coyotes

or dogs.

Or a large pack of something.

- Holy shit.

- Just coyotes.

- Are you not fucking alarmed right now?

- Are you scared?

- Dude, what are you?

This goes beyond belief, that was a pack of,

whatever the fuck that was.

- It was coyotes. - Is that our cue to leave?

I think maybe.

We've been out here for quite a bit.

- Yeah, I don't know if we're gonna find anything tonight.

- I don't wanna be in the mouth of some coyote later,

that's not how I want the picture wrap

on old Bergara to be.

- Alright well, another good cryptid hunt.

We're oh for two, but I think next time.

- The odds were stacked against us on this one,

there's no way to catch this thing.

We're giving up!

- You win this time, Mothman.

But I'll be back.

- Okay, you know what's funny though?

- Yeah. - Is our Mothman call

actually attracted the coyotes, so it worked for something.

- You think that was us? - I think the call,

it proved it, it wasn't all for show, it had value.

- [Shane] Both of us are masters of the Mothman call.

- Yeah we're basically, we should be on Animal Planet.

- We should. - I'm just gonna pause here

for a second. - Yeah.

- [Ryan] Give him one last go, how about that?

(squeaking)

Last chance!

- [Shane] I think you've offended the Mothman.

- In the end, nobody truly knows what the Mothman is,

let alone if he actually exists.

Some have suggested that Mothman could be of demonic

or angelic origin.

Others believe that Mothman could actually be

an extra-terrestrial, connecting Mothman with bright lights

seen in the sky.

Some even believe Mothman could be an ultra-terrestrial,

a creature from another dimension.

As for me, I'm not quite sure what I believe

but I do find the voluminous docket of sightings

to be curious for something that is not real.

Nonetheless, as our efforts have proved today,

the existence of Mothman continues to elude us

and will remain, for now, unsolved.

Hakosuka Engine Trouble FIXED and Stance Widened!! Nissan Skyline KGC10 in USA Steve's POV - Duration: 12:08.

Hi Everyone! I'm Steve with Steve's POV!

The Hakosuka Skyline hasn't been out of the garage in a long time.

Some of you may remember the episode when I broke down on the freeway...

It suddenly lost power...

and we nearly got hit by a U-haul!

I managed to get it started again and made it home...

but I haven't driven it at all since then.

I have figured out the cause of my troubles that day!

Let me show you!

I mentioned at that time I thought it was fuel related.

I knew it had to be fuel related but I haven't had time to look into it any further...

Until the other day, when I went to start the car and I figured out the problem.

These two units are the fuel pumps (2).

These pumps have been on this car ever since I bought it.

I always thought it was kind of strange to have 2 pumps.

The way the fuel lines and wires are routed are a bit of a mess.

I really need to clean this all up one day...

But it's been running well and there hasn't been a need to mess with it.

When you turn the key on...

That is the sound of the fuel pumps working...

The pumps are sucking fuel from the gas tank up to the engine

This is the sound these pumps normally make...

Below the pumps are the wiring that powers them.

This blue/green connector is where they appear to be powered.

I think our problem resides in this "well" wrapped connection!!

What the heck is wrapped up inside here!?!?

But this is definitely where the problem is...

Inside this connector is where the connection is being lost.

This is what needs fixing.

A fuel pump not working means no fuel getting to the engine....

No gas in the engine means the engine will stall.

This should be a quick fix!

You can see the connector now without the tape.

We have these quick connectors in the USA as well... apparently they are used in Japan too.

These work but aren't the best over time...

This connection is failing and that is why I stalled on the freeway...

I'm simply gonna remove this connector and use a crimp type to put it back together.

This whole set up isn't very good...

but the issue is localized here and is easily fixable.

I've been pondering something for the past few months...

I like my wheels and tires a lot, but...

with these overfenders on the car, there shouldn't be a big gap between the tire and fender like this...

it's bothering me a bit...

I'd like to fill in this gap by widening the stance.

I'm gonna need wheel spacers to achieve this.

I have a couple (2) spacers here but they really aren't for this set up...

I'm not sure if they will work on the front or back...

Look at the gap back here!

I have to widen this stance for sure!

Let's see if the spacers I happen to have will work.

This is what I have....

these things are really big!

I don't think they are going to work...

Maybe I can use these and just order a couple of smaller ones for the front??

There's no harm in trying... Let's put these on the car!

Don't you agree?? It needs to be a bit wider!

I haven't measured anything! I just happen to have 2 spacers that I'm gonna try.

Just for fun... let's try these spacers on!

I wonder how it will look??

Probably gonna be too wide...

definitely too wide!! lol

no way this is gonna work!

but I've came this far and may as well try it..

I better let the car down slowly...

I wonder what it's gonna look like??

Its sticking out a lot!!

I hope it doesn't hit!

Now this is wide!!!!!

It's still gonna drop lower than this...

I'm not sure this is gonna work....

Definitely too wide... need about half that thickness spacer for a perfect fit.

Man... but it sure does look GOOD!!!!

Totally different than this side!

So Cool!!!!

Now this front looks really strange...

The difference is huge!

There is a DIY way of measuring for the correct size wheel spacer...

But I just happen to have 2 spacers and just playing around today!!

I'm gonna bolt this fatty on the front too!

Ohhh... check out these rotors!!

They don't look very good do they?!?!

I'm gonna need to work on these brakes soon...

I know it's gonna be too wide, but who cares...

this is fun!!

who knows... maybe it will work!?!?!

Let's put the car down and check it out!

The front may actually work.... it might tuck in when I let the car down.

maybe...?!?!?!?

slowly...

I hate when jacks stick right at this point!

slowly... slowly...

Oh my god...

wow, oh my god!!

wow!!!

That looks so COOL!!!

This looks so good!!!

But it may not be practical!

The car is still gonna settle down too...

This is gonna rub really bad!!

But it sure does look good!!!

I love it!!

It looks awesome!

Oh my god...

What do you think??

The front looks so good!!

Not that this looks bad but...

this doesn't look bad at all, but...

wide definitely wins!

Today I just threw a couple spacers I happened to have on...

By moving the car a couple times forward and back will settle the suspension down...

It's still likely to drop a bit more than this over time..

It looks so good....

Incredible!!

Let me straighten the steering wheel...

It looks great but if I try to drive it I am asking for trouble for sure!

But just sitting here it looks SOOOOOO good!!

Big Thumb's Up for sure!!

I gotta make a plan now... let me hear your ideas too!

Obama's Army Is Alive & Well, Chaplain Faces Death Of Career Because Of His Faith - Duration: 5:32.

Obama's Army Is Alive & Well, Chaplain Faces Death Of Career Because Of His Faith.

Former President Barack Obama's work to destroy the U.S. Army continues.

A respected and long-service Army chaplain faces the end of his career.

The Army is about to punish him, for simply standing up for his religious beliefs.

Over the course of his time in office, Obama worked to destroy the military.

He used whatever liberal cause imaginable to change it from a fighting force to a political

cesspool.

Instead of training men for war, the military became a place of activism.

Instead of defending our rights, the Army became ground zero of their destruction.

It comes as no surprise that Obama's policies specifically target Christians and Christian

beliefs.

Many of the left's "causes" just happen to undermine the tried-and-true virtues of

the Bible.

They claim that they only want non-believers to enjoy the same freedom as everyone else,

even in the military.

The reality is much different.

We've seen how often liberals attack Christians.

Obama himself fought to give certain groups more rights than everyone else.

If you dare disagree with these liberal pets, they will drag you through the mud.

For liberals, the rights of certain people are more important than the rights of others.

That's just what's happening now in the Army.

A chaplain that has served for years, providing spiritual guidance to many soldiers, faces

a career-ending punishment.

An investigation is trying to brand him as some kind of bigot and villain.

Why?

Because he refused to conduct a marriage retreat for a lesbian couple.

A military investigation at Fort Bragg in North Carolina determined, that Chaplain Scott

Squires should be disciplined for his failure to include a lesbian couple in Strong Bonds,

a marriage retreat sponsored by the Army.

The investigation determined that the chaplain, who is endorsed by the Southern Baptist Convention's

North American Mission Board (NAMB), had discriminated against the soldier based on her sexual orientation…

When Squires realized he could not participate, he rescheduled the event to accommodate the

lesbian couple with a chaplain who could oversee the retreat.

But apparently that was not good enough.

[Source: Fox News] "The Army EO policy states that no service

will be denied to any member of the Armed Service regardless of race, color, national

origin, gender, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation," read a report from

the investigator.

"CH Squires should be reprimanded for his failure to include (name deleted) in the initial

Strong Bonds Retreat."

During Barack Obama's time in office, the military was weighed down with gay and transgender

drama.

It continues today.

But you have to realize, this has been the LGBT agenda all along: to give their members

(a shockingly small minority in the U.S.) greater rights than everyone else.

They even prioritize their rights over the First Amendment, which forbids the government

from violating a person's religious faith.

Let me ask you something, should the Army EO policy overrule the Constitution?

Of course not.

This Army chaplain believes the Bible's teaching on homosexuality.

It would be a violation of his faith to condone a gay wedding.

Yet the Army is putting the "rights" of this gay couple before the rights of millions

of Christians.

They are saying the right for lesbians to get married is more important than a person's

sacred faith.

Keep in mind, this chaplain was not discriminating against this couple.

He did nothing to persecute, ostracize, or belittle them.

He didn't even try to stop them from getting married.

He arranged for another chaplain to officiate.

But that's not good enough for the LGBT agenda.

Everyone must obey their demands, or face utter destruction.

The Army's investigation determined the chaplain should've followed military protocol

instead of the rules of the Southern Baptists…

Investigators also ruled the chaplain had committed discrimination by explaining to

the offended soldier that his religious beliefs prevented him from participating in the retreat.

[Source: Fox News] It's official: freedom of religion is dead

in the U.S. Army.

This ruling states the chaplain had to follow military protocol, even though it violated

his religious beliefs.

The First Amendment doesn't matter anymore.

Gays have more rights than Christians.

Let that sink in.

The investigator said Squires' explanation was "unnecessary" and "created a situation

where he unintentionally violated Army EO policy."

"That would mean a chaplain can't even talk about their religious beliefs without

being accused of discrimination.

That would strip thousands of chaplains across our military of their most basic freedoms

under the First Amendment," First Liberty Institute attorney Mike Berry said.

[Source: Fox News] Pay attention to this: the Army is claiming

the chaplain was not allowed to explain to the lesbians what he believed.

Had he not done so, he would not be in trouble.

Essentially, they're saying that you can be religious, but you can't tell anyone

about it.

They are violating both freedom of speech and freedom of religion in one blow.

This is our Armed Forces in 2018.

Thanks to Obama's years of liberal manipulation, men of faith cannot practice their religion.

Gays and lesbians have the power to destroy a person's career.

48 million people in the U.S. get food poisoning each year; new report reveals - Duration: 5:08.

48 million people in the U.S. get food poisoning each year; new report reveals the most common

germs making us sick

by: Zoey Sky

No matter where you bought your food, be it a street vendor or a classy restaurant, if

it wasn�t prepared properly you can get food poisoning.

Millions of food poisoning cases are reported in the U.S. yearly and a report has rounded

up some of the most common germs that caused food poisoning in 2017.

The report, which was published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

examined information from a database that traced food poisoning cases at 10 labs all

over the U.S.

As per the CDC, at least 48 million people in the country get food poisoning every year.

The new report did not take into account rates of norovirus infection, which causes about

20 million cases of illness annually.

The CDC�s report encompassed 49 million people, and a team of researchers examined

nine pathogens that were usually transmitted by food such as two types of parasites and

seven types of bacteria.

According to the report, the most common foodborne illness germ was Campylobacter, a bacterium

often found in raw poultry.

In 2017, there were at least 19 Campylobacter infections per 100,000 people.

The second most reported germ was Salmonella, which caused about 16 infections per 100,000

people.

Next was by Shigella and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) (STEC), which both

caused at least four infections per 100,000 people.

(Related: 9 Home Remedies You Can Try When You Have Food Poisoning.)

Compared to 2014 to 2016, the report determined a 10 percent increase in the rate of Campylobacter

infections and a 28 percent increase in the rate of STEC infections in 2017.

But the researchers posited that some of these increases could have been because of a relatively

new type of lab test that they used called a culture-independent diagnostic test.

The new lab test allowed researchers to test for foodborne pathogens by scanning for proteins

or genetic material tied to the pathogens instead of painstakingly growing germs in

lab dishes.

The culture-independent diagnostic test is more effective at looking for bacteria and

other pathogens, unlike the older tests.

The researchers also noted a 35 percent decrease in infections with E. coli O157, a type of

STEC, in 2017 compared with 2006 to 2008.

This decrease reflected a drop in E. coli O157 germs detected in ground beef for the

same period.

In general, while the rate of Salmonella infections was similar for 2017 and in the 2014 to 2016

period, there was a decrease in the rate of infections for two strains of Salmonella:

S. typhimurium and S. Heidelberg.

These could have been because of the steps taken to vaccinate chickens against these

strains of Salmonella, along with other measures that helped to prevent the contamination of

meat products.

The researchers suggested that enforcing more control measures, introducing new or revising

current meat and poultry performance standards, and improving training and guidance for industry

and inspection personnel can help prevent foodborne illness.

Tips to prevent food poisoning To prevent foodborne illness, follow the tips

below:

Cook food properly � Cook food to the right internal temperature to eliminate any harmful

bacteria.

Use a food thermometer if you�re not sure about the required temperature.

Maintain cleanliness � Always wash your hands and keep work surfaces clean.

Germs can survive in the nooks and crannies in your kitchen such as countertops, cutting

boards, utensils, and even your hands so scrub everything before you cook and eat.

Store foods separately � Make sure that you store eggs, poultry, raw meat, ready-to-eat

foods and seafood separately in your shopping cart, refrigerator, and meal preparation area.
