Mothman in Charleston: Richard West Encounter
![]() |
1588 Lee St. Charleston, WV |
During the height of the 1966-67 Mothman flap in Point Pleasant, West Virginia’s favorite winged humanoid really got around! While seemingly based in Mason County, reports came in from around West Virginia and Ohio, mainly concentrated in towns along or close to the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. The capital city of Charleston, WV was no exception. While on a recent trip to the Gray Barker UFO Files in Clarksburg, I found an article dated 29 November 1966. Unfortunately, it was just a clipping with the name of the newspaper omitted. I’ll add a photo of the clipping, but below is a transcription, followed by some further commentary from yours truly!

29 November 1966 |
It’s interesting that West never refers to the creature as Mothman…only as Batman. It’s possible that West wasn’t familiar with what was going on in Point Pleasant at the time, or didn’t make the connection that the ‘big bird’ (as many articles were referring to it) that was being seen over an hour away could have anything to do with the winged MAN he was seeing on his neighbor’s roof. However, it’s important to note that in September of that year, paperboys in Charleston were being harassed in the early morning hours by some weirdo reported as being dressed up like Batman. West was probably a little more familiar with this story, as it was something of a local sensation of the time. (See my article, Batman in Charleston)
