Curse of the Mothman

A few weeks ago the man and I watched a documentary on netflix called Eyes of the Mothman. It was about strange happenings in Pt. Pleasant, WV, and the collapse of the Silver Bridge. I really enjoyed it and had interest in seeing this town and bridge. Lucky for me, recently we passed right by the town and over the rebuilt bridge.

I commented to the man and woman that I hoped the Mothman wouldn't curse us with the bridge falling while we drove over it. Big mistake.

Phew, we made it over


Soon after passing over the bridge, we smelled something funny, and the service engine light came on in the truck. No joke. I was terrified the Mothman was out to get us.

The man got out to check under the hood. Thank goodness, the problem was only the air filter coming loose. He screwed it back in, and in about 15 minutes we were on our way again. Sorry you didn't get us this time Mr. Mothman, better luck another time. I did learn an important lesson--do not provoke nor taunt the mothman.
