Introduction to "Fact or Fiction?"

Are you interested in conspiracy theories, unsolved mysteries, and/or the paranormal? If so, this blog might interest you, as I will be researching these topics and providing you with the information to take your own stance on whether or not they are true or if there is a reasonable conclusion you can come to. I will also be providing my own opinion on the subject.

To give you a little taste about what this blog is about, I am going to be talking about a cryptid today. This cryptid is called the Mothman. The story originated in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in November of 1966. Numerous sightings of a creature that looked like a large flying man with 10 foot wings were reported with multiple witnesses. The sheriff of Mason County explained that the sightings were most likely unusually large heron, while a wildlife biologist said that it was likely a sandhill crane that was out of route of its migration path.

The next year in the same location as the Mothman sightings, Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people. Many people connect the collapse with the Mothman and think that when the Mothman shows up, he warns of a terrible event that is soon to come. They claim that he is a curse.

Nowadays, the Mothman attracts tourists from all over the country to Point Pleasant, West Virgina. There is even a museum and statue erected in his honor. I am unsure if this one is real or not. While there was a lot of anecdotal evidence supporting his existence, it is not all reliable. However, I do believe some sort of creature was in the Point Pleasant area in the mid 1960s. Whether or not the creature was the Mothman is a different story.

The Giwoggle

The Giwoggle is a very unknown cryptid, but one that is close to home. The Giwoggle is the alleged cryptid from Clinton County. The creature is described as being 6 feet tall, having the legs of a horse, the claws of a bird, and the body of a wolf. In 1909, when terrors of the Jersey Devil were at an all time high, the Giwoggle was thought to be spotted on rooftops in downtown Lock Haven. Fun fact: The Giwoggle is actually Clinton County's official monster. Whether you believe in the Giwoggle or not, it is very interesting to have such a wild creature supposedly live where you do. I personally think it didn't actually exist and it was just a rumor that spread and people believed it at the time.

The Moon Landing...Did it Happen?

Image
This is a very popular conspiracy theory, but also a very interesting and plausible one. Did humans actually walk on the moon? During the moon landings, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were high and they were in a cold war. Both countries were racing to make it to the moon first because it would be seen as a worldwide technological advancement. However, making it to the moon was expensive and difficult for the United States. That is one reason people think that the moon landing may have been a hoax. This claim is refuted by hoax debunkers saying that soviets were going to claim foul play if the U.S.A. made it to the moon first and that would be a huge propaganda win for them. Another big reason people think the moon landing may have been faked is that NASA wanted to avoid embarrassment and continue to receive government funding. The $30 billion raised by NASA is thought to be used to pay people off, according to conspiracy theorists. Also, there was no video...
