Every Archive comes with its own episode of The Midnight Archive, the podcast. Press play.
The Mothman
Point Pleasant, West Virginia, 1966. Two couples on a dark road outside an old explosives plant see a winged shape with glowing red eyes. Thirteen months of sightings follow, a reporter starts getting strange visitors, and then the bridge falls.
Bring a pencil
Your Mothman file is interactive. Hidden inside is a coded transmission and a Field Kit that walks you through cracking it by hand: find five clues in the story, build the cipher key, and decode the message. The five answers are hidden in this episode too. Solve it and you earn Fragment 01 of the Season Cipher.
