- No please!

No, please!

No, no!

- The 15th of December, 1967.

The collapse of the silver

bridge.

46 casualties, two missing

and not found since.

What caused the catastrophe

according to the witnesses

and reports can be seen on the

next slide.

First seen in November of 1966.

Point pleasant, West Virginia.

Near an old explosives factory.

Roger and Linda Scarbury,

Joan and Mary mallet

and their niece.

They said it kept following

them,

even if they tried

shaking it off on road 62.

There were about 100 reports

filed in those two years,

but once the bridge collapsed

just nothing happened.

Whatever is in the photo

it just disappeared,

left the town, never returned.

Where did it go after though?

Another unsolved mystery.

What could it be?

A mythical creature?

A mutation?

Perhaps some kind of military

experiment

or maybe this is the angel

of death trying to warn us

before the catastrophe.

What if I told you that it

has allegedly resurfaced?

In Hungary there were 22

reports in the past two weeks.

I am actually going there next

week

and I will need someone

who can take added footage

so if you would like to join me

just sign up after the lecture.

Thank you for your attention

everyone.

See you in four weeks.

Same time, same place, different

topics.

Have a nice weekend, thank you.

And how long have you been

learning at the university, Adam?

- Actually for two

years, yeah, for two years.

- And what's

at the end of the line?

- If all goes well I'll

be a forensic investigator.

- Wow.

Was it always your dream?

- I think so, yes.

What about you?

- Mine?

- Yeah.

- Actress.

- Okay, two boyfriends.

Oakes.

Journalist.

Oh.

Anyone else?

No.

No luck?

- No.

Can we go?

- Yeah.

- I just don't know what

kind of person they all like.

I just don't get it.

I been to eight auditions this

year now.

- I don't know.

Maybe you could get into school,

you know?

Film school.

To learn all these things.

Maybe... Intonation.

I don't know because

I'm not involved in it

but I guess you have to learn

that too.

- Yeah I know all this stuff.

Actually I took a term.

Unfortunately I just couldn't

finance it.

And my father didn't want to pay

for it.

You know, he wants me to be an

attorney.

- An attorney?

- Useful and productive

member of the society,

not just someone who plays a

role.

My sister, my elder

sister Kathy thinks that

it's just a joke, hobby.

And acting barely beats

prostitution.

You just play a role and

sell yourself for money.

This is my family.

- If you ask me I think

everyone plays a role.

Everyone sells themselves.

Nobody's honest.

It's a good thing this

car was waiting for us.

- Yeah, the owner took

a term at our university

and I gave her an extra room

and when she left she

told me to let her know

if she can repay it somehow.

- And you called

in a favor, I guess.

- Yeah.

- Why are we recording

every single moment?

- Well I hope to turn this

into a great documentary

when we get back.

Or not.

But since we have this

let's just use it, okay?

- Okay.

You think we'll find anything?

- I don't know.

I can't tell.

- Alright.

- Can I ask a

personal question, Adam?

- Depends.

- Where are you from?

I mean I know it's impolite

to ask something like that

but I'm so curious.

- You don't like my accent or

what?

- No, no it's not like that.

Your English is perfect.

It's just you're not English

like.

I think you're as British as

myself.

So?

- Yes.

- Are you Danish?

- Not exactly.

- I'm sorry, I didn't

want to hurt your feelings.

It's not my business, sorry.

- I'm from Sweden.

I moved to England five years

ago

and I've been living

in London for a while.

But I'm not planning to go home.

What about you?

- Hmm?

- You know, you mentioned

that you are...

- yeah yeah yeah.

I'm Ukrainian.

- Really?

Ukrainian?

- Yeah, I was raised there.

- Did you have to escape or

what?

- Escape from what?

- You know.

What's the reason?

- Well there is

no dramatic line here.

I learned English in

elementary and grammar school.

Then I graduated from the

university as an English history

teacher 'cause I also liked

history.

- Yeah.

- And I won a Fulbright

scholarship to the us.

Virginia.

I conducted research there.

I lived there for almost, wow,

two years.

- Two years?

- Yeah, for two years.

And then a good friend of

mine just offered this job

in London at the university

and I accepted it

so here I am, end of story.

- Wow.

You are very...

- very?

- Persistent might be the best

word.

- Well thank you.

Honestly, I didn't think

if anyone would sign up,

but I'm very glad that you're

here.

- Thanks.

I told you I like mysteries.

That's why I'm here.

Actually.

- Actually?

- When I was young my mom used

to get me books about myths.

Greek, Roman myths, stories,

legends, stuff like that,

you know.

And when I read a book I

didn't just want to find

resolution.

- Well mysteries are

waiting to be solved, Adam.

- Yeah.

You solve it and you take

away the whole mystery itself.

But you don't lose a thing.

Everyone just wants to find and

solve.

- Like who or what

the moth man might be.

- That's right.

But if you found out who or what

it is,

the whole mystery would

disappear.

- A lot of

people want to solve it.

- Us included.

- 25 miles and we will

hit our accommodation.

I suggest we should get

up early in the morning

and find anyone who

might have seen anything

suspicious lately.

- Okay.

I'll set the charger up

for the night just in case.

- Good idea, thank you.

- Okay.

- What else?

I booked twin beds if it's good

for you.

- Fine with me, fine by, yeah.

- You know other guys

would have started getting

ideas by now, Adam.

- Others maybe, but I am

not here

to try and bed my teacher.

- Oh god.

Adam it was just a joke.

Are you always this way

in the language of women?

- I just don't think we've been

traveling long enough to

talk about things like that.

Probably I'm a bit old

fashioned but that's how I feel.

Sorry.

- Now let's talk about

whatever you'd like to.

What do you want to talk about?

- Hey hey hey.

- An interview with the

reluctant cameraman.

Stage is all yours.

Come on.

- Really?

- Really.

Why not?

- I have only one

question, ready?

- Yes.

- Why do you want

to be an actress so bad?

Because you want to be an

actress

so why tell me about it?

Stage is yours now.

- Well, I suppose it's

like you and the mysteries.

- What do you mean?

Mysteries?

- If you film or write

something,

you just, you know,

create a whole new world.

I tried writing as well,

more or less successfully,

mostly less successfully,

unfortunately.

Anyway, if you just

conjure a whole new world

you can create whatever you'd

like.

Sad or beautiful things.

It's like for example mysteries.

- I don't think you

should give up your writing.

- I will never give up.

I never give up on anything.
