First off I'd like to mention that I don't believe in the Mothman and have no reason to believe that this entity in question has any connection with the Mothman, despite what "the spirit" claimed.

My cousin had a little bit of a scruffle. Was afraid to tell me what was going on with him. Eventually he opened up to the bizzarre things that were going on around his apartment. Spoke of visions of murdering people he loved. He could even feel his arm going out and slashing these people. Disturbing to say the least.

A few nights later he calls me up, mumbles a few words and let's me go. Very strange behavior, even for him. I came over there to see what was going on with him. I brought with him a handcrafted Ouija board I myself constructed. It had on it the tetragrammaton and angelic, and biblical godnames I felt were suitable for protection.

When we got there we noticed him in the corner of his living room, curled up, lights out. He claimed the Mothman was there, and has been visiting him. This would have easily been brushed off if his actions weren't so strange. He was afraid to go in his bedroom. He said that is where it was. Infact it was very cold in his bedroom.

He turned his head to look at me, we made eye contact. He screamed that his eyes were burning. I looked at him again in the eyes and same thing. His eyes were strangely glossed over. Call it the Mothman, or Santa Claus. Something was clearly wrong with this guy.

My girlfriend and I jumped on the Ouija board I had constructed so to try to make contact. We asked for whatever it was that was messing around with my cousin. We got an immediate response.

The planchete moved incredibly fast, about as fast as I'd ever seen one move. It identified itself as the Mothman. I laughed naturally. This angered him. Immediately told me to stop laughing. I inquired what it wants with my cousin. "DIE" came up. "KILL HIM", It's motivations were clear.

I personally wasn't threatened by this - whatever it was. But it's insistance on killing my cousin certainly bothered me. Throughout the night I had my cousin look me in the eyes as much as possible no matter how much it burned. This is a form a exorcism that I hoped would serve it's use. We stayed with him throughout the night until we felt fairly comfortable to leave. It was about 4AM and out in a small batch of woods next to the parking lot where my car was we heard dogs growling, as if they were fighting. 4AM, who let's their dogs out at 4AM?

I decided it maybe wasn't in my best interest to go driving. Who knows, maybe this thing would grab the steering wheel or something. (Probably more of a product of watching too many scary movies when I was younger). Either way I decided to take a brief walk around the block and come back and check on my cousin.

I returned to his apatment and knocked on the door. No answer. Banged on the windows. Nothing. He's an insomniac, so there's no way he would have fallen asleep so easily. I got worried. The threat of suicide was made earlier, so that he wouldn't harm anyone else of the family. I was concerned that he had killed himself.

The police were called and arrived soon after. I informed them that I was concerned that he might have killed himself. They knocked on the door, and flashed their lights in his windows. Eventually he came to the door. My cousin claimed that he was asleep and that's why he wasn't answering the door. Who knows what really went on with him. He had no recollection of his possession from earlier. When he seemed to kind of come out of it he asked us what we were doing in his apartment. We explained the strange story to him. Thank God he is okay. I pray that this never happens to him ever again.
