What are your top 5 bucket list locations that you would love to investigate at, being paranormal what kind of location is it, the ghosties, extra terrestrial, or cryptid?

A few days late but here is this weeks' discussion, which is the urban legend of The Mothman. What is 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗻? The Mothman is a mysterious creature first seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966 and 1967. Several reports described a winged human-like figure with glowing red eyes, causing both fear and curiosity. The sightings happened around the time of a big infrastructure accident, leading to ongoing arguments about whether the creature was a warning, a mistaken animal, or something unknown. On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette, told police they saw a large black creature with eyes that "glowed red" standing by the road near "the TNT area," a former World War II munitions plant. Linda Scarberry said it looked like a slim, strong man about seven feet tall with white wings. She couldn’t see its face because its eyes seemed to have a hypnotic power. The scared witnesses drove away fast and said the creature flew after their car, making a screeching sound. It followed them all the way to the edge of Point Pleasant. In the next few days, more people said they saw something like it after local newspapers shared the story. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸: - The creature reportedly flew at high speeds, even keeping up with cars - Witnesses described an overwhelming sense of dread or being watched - Sightings continued for over a year, involving dozens of locals On December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed tragically killing 46 people. Many believe Mothman sightings stopped immediately after the collapse. Some interpret Mothman as a harbinger of disaster, not the cause, while others argue it’s a case of retrospective pattern-making—linking unrelated events after the fact. This “omen theory” is one of the most debated aspects in paranormal circles.

So many new faces this month in the community! Welcome to all of you. There will NOT be any weekly discussion this week or next week, as many of us from the community are getting ready to head to Waverly Hills sanitarium this weekend and I have a busy week preparing and traveling. But we will definitely be posting our experiences and evidence as soon as we can. Maybe I will do a video call so we all can talk about our investigation and some of the evidence we captured and you all can ask questions. I will pop in when I can but in the meanwhile, feel free to keep the community going, jumping into old discussions, or checking out the classroom. As we roll into May, I hope to have more conversations with you all as we discuss the paranormal.

This week let’s talk about spirits and portals. Do you believe spirits are tied to a location or can they move to different locations? Possibly through portals? Is their energy tied to one specific location or can a spirit “haunt” more than one location? What are your thoughts?
