MULDER: That's interesting.
SCULLY: Why is that interesting?
MULDER: 30 years ago, the, uh, the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia was terrorized for over
a year by something - killing livestock and terrorizing the people. Witnesses described them as
primitive looking men with red piercing eyes. Became know as the "mothmen". I've got an X-file
dating back to 1952 on it.
SCULLY: What would that be filed next to - "The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati?"
MULDER: No, "The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati" is in the C's. "Mothmen's" over in the M's.
