Stories of unexplained disappearances began to spread in the area. Mostly, family pets and farm animals were reported missing. Eventually, though, children started coming up missing. Naturally, the citizens of the community claimed that the mystery creature was responsible for the strange events occurring within the town and general area. Unfortunately, the livelihood of the community became jeopardized because of the missing animals, shortage of fish in the New Jersey Barrens waters, and the resources being invested in seeking out the children that disappeared in the area. The fear in the community spread so rapidly that even adult men were not willing to venture outside their protective shelters in the cover of night.

In 1740, a priest that specialized in exorcisms performed this ritual with the community. The effects of this were expected to last a full century. Unfortunately, it has been established that the Jersey Devil has returned to the area at least two different occasions after this occurred and prior to one hundred years passing. Witness accounts from a Commodore Stephen Decatur, and from Joseph Bonaparte who was the brother to the popular Napoleon confirmed this. However, in the year 1840, the mystery creature returned to the area. Individuals in the area would often hang a lantern on the outside of their homes in order to deter the Jersey Devil. In 1909, the mystery creature became such a nuisance that people refused to leave their homes.

Until the 29th day of July in 2008, the mysterious creature was referred to as “The Hound of Bonacvilleâ€. However, a popular Cryptozoologist by the name of Loren Coleman gave it a new name. It was then identified as the “Montauk Monsterâ€. Many scientists and researchers have studied this mystery creature. Many believe that the creature could be a raccoon. However, there are many that believe that it could be a turtle that actually became detached from its shell. There are some, though, that believe it could be a result of an experiment from a testing facility that uses animals that is owned by the government that is near to where it was found, which is called the “Plum Island Animal Disease Centerâ€.

The Montauk monster mystery creature has been evaluated time and time again. For each animal that it is associated with, there is an issue in confirmation. There is an issue in it being a raccoon because the legs are too long. While it could have been a turtle that detached from its shell, these animals do not have teeth. It has been compared to a rodent, but lacks the incisor teeth that are curved which are characteristic to rodents. It has been compared to a type of canine. Unfortunately, the eye structure and the feet are not an appropriate match. Many have considered the fact that it could be a chicken or even some type of sheep – but, there again – those animals do not have the teeth that this mystery creature has.

In the year of 1966, several men were working in a cemetery near the city of Clendenin which is located in the State of West Virginia. They were simply making preparations for an upcoming burial service. While in the cemetery, they developed an odd feeling of being watched. However, there were no other individuals present. They continued working, shaking off the feeling with the notion that it was simply related to the whole cemetery enigma. A few short minutes later, they were absolutely startled to hear a sound in a tree near them. As they looked to observe the culprit of the commotion, they observed a figure that looked much like a man flying from one of the branches. This is believed to be the first Mothman sighting.

Just three short days later, on the 15th day of November in 1966, a group of two couples were passing an industrial plant near the city of Point Pleasant. They witnessed the supposed Mothman. It started with identifying the eerie red glow of the eyes of the creature. They then observed that it was relatively large, reflected the same build as a man, and had extensive wings. Given the fact that the sighting frightened them, they continued traveling. Just a short time passed and they observed the mysterious creature on the side of the road on top of a small hill. Things got really intense at that point because the creature actually followed their car! Despite the fact that they were traveling as quickly as they could, it was able to maintain the same speed as the car. This occurred on the highway identified as "62". Later that day, several other people witnessed the unusual creature.

Later in the evening of November 15th, a highly reputed building contractor experienced his first sighting. The man's name was Newell Partridge. He was simply enjoying a quiet evening of television when the unit began to act up. He observed interference and heard a large number of sounds. Suddenly, the set went out completely and he realized that the strange and mysterious noises were coming from outside of the home. It was then that his beloved dog, Bandit, began to bark and howl in an unusual fashion. He walked outside and faced his flashlight on the area where the dog was located. It was then that he saw the ominous red glowing eyes of the Mothman. The dog chased after the creature. While Partridge attempted to stop him, he was unsuccessful. Later reports would indicate that a dog's body had been found in the area, but Partridge was never able to locate his beloved pet.

Deputy Halstead elected to hold a conference for the community and the press on November 16th. He had no doubt that the citizens of the area were telling the truth.
