    Mystery Chernobyl staff ‘saw infamous Mothman flying over reactor’ just before deadly explosion

    Lucy Domachowski - The Daily Star




    CHERNOBYL workers claim they saw a terrifying and hideous creature with giant wings, a black headless body and red glowing eyes sending a message of doom just before the deadly explosion.

    In the days leading up to the Chernobyl disaster, several of the workers in the control room of the nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine claimed to have seen the creature known as the Black bird of Chernobyl.

    The supernatural creature they described as having a striking resemblance to Mothman, is said to have risen above the horizon of Chernobyl and Pripyat before the explosion.

    Those unlucky enough to see the creature were said to be plagued with terrifying dreams and threatening phone calls.

    Some believe the black bird of Chernobyl was a form of the creature known as Moth Man whose presence only ever meant one thing: a catastrophic event would soon follow.

    The Mothman legend is a cryptid that lives in the area around of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

    It is described as being a human-bird hybrid larger than a normal man, with a wing span of 10 feet, grey in colour with red “glowing” eyes.

    The Mothman was seen during a period from November 1966 to December 1967, culminating in the collapse of the Silver Bridge, a disaster that killed 46 people.

    Last month marked 33 years since the Chernobyl tragedy and it seems the further time moves away from the event, the stories, folklore and legends continue to captivate and grow.

    Archaeologist Robert Maxwell, who has completed two field excursions at the exclusion zone, told news.com.au that the legend of the Black bird of Chernobyl was something he heard about when he was in Chernobyl.





    "The legend states in the days leading up to April 26, 1986, that a supernatural creature was sighted in the sky over Chernobyl by many of the men in the control room. They also claimed to have seen this terrifying creature just before the explosion," Maxwell said.

    "According to the legend, rumours went through the ranks of Chernobyl, that five employees had seen a large, dark headless creature with gigantic wings and fire red eyes.

    “Chernobyl employees began sharing strangely similar experiences, some had horrifying nightmares, while others received threatening phone calls," Maxwell said.

    "The second account I've heard of this story comes from 2007 which says that people in and around the power plant began to experience a series of strange events revolving around sightings of a mysterious creature — also described as a large dark and mutated creature with large wings and piercing red eyes.

    "People affected by the phenomena also experienced nightmares and had first-hand encounters with the winged beast.



    "Some of the workers reported their bizarre experiences to supervisors of the facility but there was very little these officials could do even if they'd been willing to take action. Then, in April, disaster struck."

    Reactor number four of the nuclear power plant exploded on April 26 and, two days later, the entire city of Pripyat was evacuated.

    But was several years later that the stories of the black bird began to spread.

    "Because the workers apparently described the Bback bird as a headless, large-winged black creature with no head, but with fire red eyes — which most people take to mean the eyes appear in the torso, it sounded very similar to the Mothman sightings in the west.



    "Many people believe the Mothman, like the black bird of Chernobyl, are the harbingers of doom, in the same way the banshee was a herald of doom and death to many Celtic societies.

    "Now it's become one of those fables that's difficult to track because it relies on the accounts of people who died due to radioactive contamination.

    "The black bird has also become one of those fairly safe legends where, if you try to look for proof, it might not be available because the workers are dead, or maybe the sightings were never officially recorded.

    "So, for people trying to check the voracity of these claims, of course, you've got to take them on face value because there's not a lot of history or archaeology to go on.

    "But the stories persist, even to this day."

    Occam's Razor dude....Occam's Razor. The Mothman is way more plausible, or do you believe all the American propaganda that a nuclear reactor can just 'explode'?

    The first thing I would do if I created a time machine would be to go back in time and murder Julius and Ethel Rosenberg before they started spying for the USSR.
