The story goes that in 1966 and 1967, residents of Point Pleasant claimed to have seen a human-like, winged insect creature with glowing red eyes about town. It was dubbed the "Mothman."

... to some creative reinterpretations of what the creature is said to have looked like.

There are also newspaper clippings and written first-hand accounts from people who said they've seen the creature on display.

The museum also claims to have the world's largest collection of props used in the 2002 film "The Mothman Prophecies" starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney, based on the events surrounding the events in the late 1960s.

According to one TripAdvisor review, it's a "hokey, albeit interesting and absurd, little museum in an out of the way place."

Who knows? Maybe you'll even catch a glimpse of the creature, though maybe not with the same fright factor as the 2002 film's depiction seen below. Museum admission costs $4 for adults and $1 for kids under 10.

About 45 minutes outside of Madison, Wisconsin, sits Dr. Evermor's Sculpture Park in North Freedom, Wisconsin.

It's the brainchild of Tom Every, a retired industrial wrecker who invented the alter ego Dr. Evermor, an English Victorian creator, and constructed his sculpture collection as a means to ascend "into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam."

The lifelong "professional destroyer" wanted to spend the rest of his life doing the opposite, according to Atlas Obscura.

The sculptures are made of recycled industrial relics, according to PBS Independent Lens.

TripAdvisor reviews say visiting is like taking a "trip into another world" and is like "Dr. Suess come to life!"

But something stressed in many of the reviews is how difficult it can be to find the sculptures. Reviewers advise that a small sign off of Highway 12 leads you to what looks like an abandoned dirt road, but you're in the right place. Just keep going.
