Yes, it does look like a claw on the back of the foot. The witness also reported that the creature's hands also resembled claws.
Thanks for your story. Very creepy. Did you hear anything?


I'm not trying be a jerk, but I have to say it was probably just a guy wanting attention. The problem with people reporting these huge, thick, muscular humanoids with wings, is that the size of the wings compared to the body would need to be gigantic.

I am curious if this sighting is near coal grounds? I have had a few encounters since 1993, with a creature I call screech. My first encounter was within 50 feet, and was at night. I have had a few encounters since, in multiple locations, all around active coal mines. I believe there are more than one, but I give them the same name due to the loud crying screech they make. I visited Point Pleasant for the first time last year, and saw a statue of what they call Mothman, and it is a very close recreation. The eyes, the physical structure, and the height are very close to screech, including the feet, which have a rear spur. The wings resemble a bat, not a moth, that is the major difference. Screech also has tan hair on its shoulders, upper arms, thighs, and below abdominal area. I know these creatures do not bleed, so they must not die. They fly fast, and wings are stonger than tree tops. So far they have not killed anyone I know of, but one guy did get shoved from behind. I believe they are here for a reason, but I am still yet to figure out why. Go out and look for them, they seem to stay around open surface mines. It will stay with you for the rest of your life, literally.
