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
before the catastrophe.
What if I told you that it
has allegedly resurfaced?
reports in the past two weeks.
I am actually going there next

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?

years, yeah, for two years.

Maybe you could get into school,
you know?
Film school.
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

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.
myself.
So?
- Yes.

But I'm not planning to go home.
What about you?
- Hmm?

I'm Ukrainian.

I lived there for almost, wow,
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
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
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,
disappear.
- A lot of
people want to solve it.
- Us included.
- 25 miles and we will
hit our accommodation.
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
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.
more or less successfully,
mostly less successfully,
unfortunately.
Anyway, if you just
conjure a whole new world

Sad or beautiful things.
It's like for example mysteries.
