Mothman-Type 'Being' Encountered on Indian Reservation
Recently, Lon Strickler of Phantoms and Monsters received the following communication from someone identifying him/herself as “JB” reporting the sighting of a Mothman-type “being” in Arizona:
I’ve had a sighting of a very large bat creature. I was traveling not far from my home on the reservation where I noticed something flickering in the sky. Then this thing appeared about 200 ft in front of my car, standing about 12 ft. tall with a wingspan of the entire width of the road. It was grayish brown in color and it had red glowing eyes, as bright as a brake light on a car. It looked at us snarling with long knife like teeth. It took one step, didn’t flap its wings and took off into the air. I was glad I had my friend with me because that assured me it was real. I drew a picture of the creature. I can send if you like. I live in Arizona (Gila River Indian Community) and this happened about 4:00 in the morning in Dec. 2017. – JB
Arizona’s Gila River Indian Reservation is located a little more than 10 miles south of downtown Phoenix as the crow flies. The 600-square-mile community is home to the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee-Posh (Maricopa) tribes, who have inhabited the Sonoran Desert since time immemorial.
