Hundreds of reports of sightings of a large, winged creature with glowing red eyes in Chicago have cropped up in the last decade .
The Mothman legend originated in Point Pleasant , Virginia , in the mid-1960s and has since spread across the country and around the world.
In most cases, Chicago 's urban wildlife might offer a simpler explanation.
"A lot of people just may be completely unaware of how much mammalian diversity we have throughout Chicago ," an ecologist said.
"Everybody's got their own perception of what they're looking at," said Strickler .
"It is not necessarily invalidating to hear a prosaic explanation for your sighting, as long as it is presented in a way that doesn't invalidate the experience itself," Wayland said.
Fidino studies animals, not people, but he has a theory as to why humans might be more open to the idea of elusive monsters.
