What happens

The Mothman Legacy is a 2020 American documentary film about the Mothman, a purported humanoid creature known for allegedly being sighted in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the 1960s. Directed and edited by Seth Breedlove, the film is a direct sequel to the 2017 documentary The Mothman of Point Pleasant and a follow-up to the 2019 documentary Terror in the Skies, both of which were also directed by Breedlove. All three films are produced by Breedlove's production company Small Town Monsters. The Mothman Legacy explores reported sightings of the Mothman—dating from the 1960s to 2019—beyond Point Pleasant, featuring accounts from supposed witnesses elsewhere in West Virginia, as well as Kentucky and the greater Appalachian region. The film was initially scheduled to premiere at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant on September 18, 2020, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was released on October 20, 2020, by 1091 Pictures, on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and other digital streaming platforms. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
