Mothman Festival 2023! Full Festival and Hay Ride! I Finally Made it Back!

[@Lockbar]

I think its safe to say 75% of the visitors to this event know who Jacob is.....some day there will be a Carpetbagger Festival somewhere.

[@BigChrisfilm]

We met him at the Electric Chair. There were def alot of people who knew who he was.

[@alexgeorge501]

I'll gladly fly out to attend that!

[@RamblingVlogger]

[@wonderingdave2487]

[@marciamarier8726]

You are so right someday there should be a meet-up a carpetbagger Festival something Go Jacob go 0:31

[@PaulieEsther]

[@greggseiter1412]

Jacob recognized as a celebrity on the hay ride ! YES !!!

[@mcwatersd]

I can't believe how the Mothman festival has grown . It seems to be a real going concern . Looked awesome and the hay ride seemed like a lot of fun . Thanks for taking us along . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@windowone]

Just finished the build for my own mothman costume, super excited for this year's festival

[@jennycat0592]

This is a very late comment, but I was there, walking down the street through the crowd, I stop to look around and boom, I spotted you. I wish I’d said hi, I was too nervous. I just stood there awestruck saying “That’s him! It’s the carpetbagger!” I’ve been watching you since 2015, it was awesome.

[@jennycat0592]

Specifically at 12:13, I’m just out of frame on the left is when I spotted you. 😱

[@cindylifestyleandmore]

Thank you for sharing your Mothman festival. Fun event to visit one day!👍😊

[@ShelleeGraham]

5:28 Thank you for helping us learn the origins of the MOTHMAN. Very interesting 🧐 indeed.

[@larryrose20]

Jacob, glad to see you back in my home state of WV. Glad you didn't have a heart attack after getting shocked in the electric chair. You look like you had a great time in Point Pleasant, Your videos are awesome!

[@DebHoeft]

Love your excitement. Also love how humble you are when you are recognized. Keep doing what you do.

[@amyallen5854]

Awesome video!! It was so cool getting to meet you yesterday! Thank you for taking the time to stop and get a pic with me and my kiddos. ❤

[@Jillian.B]

The pure excitement on the first ladies face when she saw Jacob was so heartfelt. Her costume was also amazing!

[@ConRodsAndRustedBods]

The peoples reaction in the background while you were screaming and scabbing in the electric chair was absolutely hilarious. 🤣

[@karenstone4805]

Thank you Jacob for the wonderful video as always,it was great to see you again and also thanks for filming our Mothman tie dyesy husband's original design

[@ViewpointProd]

16:14 YO JOE! 34:45 I was not expecting a fursuit! Seeing that, in the thumbnail, I had to check it out! Sooooo cute, moth fursuits are always really cute

[@CedarCryptid]

thank you so much!! >w

[@Znynpuvgr]

@@CedarCryptidholy shit its him

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Thank you so much for sharing your day at Mothman with us! 🤗 I have been looking so forward to this video. I hope to make it there one year! 😊

[@goldengirl54]

Thanks for taking us along! 🩷

[@grtomost1993]

This was lovely! I hope I may go one day. I was particularly tickled by the duo of Nameless Ghouls taking a picture with Mothman.

[@Thecorgially]

They really go out for Moth Man. Lots of fun.

[@167thSpartan]

I've been trying to plan a good Halloween themed vacation this year. Did Salem and Savannah the last few years, so this one seems cool so close to October. I didn't realize the festival revolved around cryptids. That really makes me want to go

[@HyprFoci]

Thank you for your donations for a worthy cause, and for taking more shots at the Snow Trooper and not me 😂😂

[@TurinJawn]

Shoutout to the gem of the lady giving you the bird in the raggedy pickup truck lol. Seems like a treat of a person

[@suemoo22]

What a great lady on the hayride, she was good!

[@brittanysayre779]

That’s me! Thank you so much!!

[@alliekuma4234]

I love all the clapping that happened when you touched the hiney lol Definitely love all the art there. ❤

[@danielwestbrook6407]

Your face when she turned on the electric chair thought you’d have a accident so funny

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I almost did, did not realize it would actually electrocute me

[@dansp91]

I believe that the Trading Post and Bunker 304 are both owned by the same folks who own the Mothman Museum. We visited in April and loved those stores!! Cryptid lovers dream stores - so much great stuff!!

[@dianneC1979]

What a great time. Hope you made it ok through everything. Some cool merch. 😊 Thanks for taking us along. Some of us would never be able to get out to see things like this. We appreciate you, Carpetbagger. 🎉

[@Katherine.Rhiannon]

I was sooooo excited to meet you! Thank you for letting me get a picture with you!

[@lizinacan151]

I would love to attend this one day as a guardian of Mothman! Also that Mothman fursuit was soooo cute

[@risjenkins1467]

I wasn’t able to make it to the fest this year so THANK YOU for this video. It really brightened my heart to watch you attend

[@RickC8080]

Great to meet you Saturday.

[@lnterpolantics]

So nice to see Papa let the Ghouls go on a little vacation to see Mothman

[@Retromicky82]

Wow the event is getting huge .

[@SandyWolf-]

What a great time I went a few years ago loved it!

[@keithtiger1641]

This actually looked like a fun festival to attend. I enjoyed this one a whole lot. 😊

[@bluegold1026]

34:45 I know that moff! It's CedarCryptid! Met 'em in person at Anthrocon this summer!

[@adamcummins9345]

I had such a good time and it was great to meet you!!

[@monsterologist_]

Thanks again for featuring the Monsterologist artist tent on your channel! Great video of the Mothman Festival 2023!

[@lisag.8458]

Thanks, Jacob! That was fun!🎉

[@MikeWeiner]

SUMMER OF CRYPTIDS!!! How's that for Summer 2024? I love when you go to cryptid festivals! The taste of small town America is never stronger than when you're in such events. :)

[@ShelleeGraham]

15:02 When you touched the “shiny hiney” of the silver Mothman statue, the surprise 👏 applause was awesome!

[@lowercaseandall4651]

Cedar crypt in the thumbnail! Love them!

[@CedarCryptid]

💜

[@TheUnforgiven-iq5gu]

My sister and stepdad went there yesterday, watching this since i couldnt go because of work and just to see if they are in the background somewhere lol

[@kathyevans3251]

It was really fun event

[@johnfrick9995]

I have been flying the Mothman over the hayride for 19 years. It is great to finally see it from the perspective of the hayride! Thanks for posting this video!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Great to see him fly! Thank you for your work!

[@ratbones620]

I went to Point Pleasant over the Summer to see the Mothman Statue and Museum. It was super cool but I hope one day to go to the Mothman festival!

[@discoonelove]

Always 🎉appreciate all the content sir.

[@MrJohnnyCash1932]

Thank you Mr Carpetbagger 😊

[@ballyraven_folklore]

It was so cool to meet you - made it our best Mothman Festival yet! We love your videos and enjoy all the fun places you find

[@laurag-oe9xo]

You definitely got your steps in. 👍 Seemed much more fun than sitting in a booth. Good call.

[@pbryan1079]

It was So nice meeting you today . Love you videos

[@katiecollum9135]

Boooooo to the blue truck in the beginning while you’re walking the bridge! Yay moth man festival!!!!! Amazing as always 😊 love this

[@RapierIsRowdy]

Didn't get to say hi but it was cool to see you walk by at 40 minutes (I was the goofball in pink)

[@codyward5791]

I remember bumping into you at the shirts lol, videos are awesome man

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Awesome festival!

[@stoshie1017]

I was there and missed you!!! I even talked to Mark Muncy about hoping to meet you. I ❤your videos and the family is back on the way home through Asheville to South Carolina. Maybe one day...

[@janicericciuti9035]

Thanks we love your shows

[@emilyt3377]

My great grandmother was from point pleasant

[@krisqo]

Thanks for coming to visit us. It would be nice to see it moved out to our fairgrounds there is way more room. But we just enjoy everyone in town so much

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I kind of like being able to experience the town during the festival

[@Ron-ni8uu]

Yes town the statue and museum

[@SQWAUKSQWAUK]

The 3 fursuiters were so cool an the mothman suit was adorable. This entire event looks amazing! I also wanna try that pepperoni roll thing.

[@FurryEskimo]

34:50 Mothman furry was really cute,😊

[@wendicaudill2139]

I saw you last night, i was on my way to work, you were walking over the bridge....wish i could have stopped and said HI

[@unicorn063]

Thankyou for taking us Jacob that was fun ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tikinkss]

Loved the electric chair 😮 and the idea of a Carpetbagger roadside attraction is perfect. I can imagine how cool that would be!

[@RamblingVlogger]

This is a huge bucket list for me! I love cryptids and the mothman is my favorite cryptid story. I often tell people of my encounter with slender man in Putnam county NY many years ago which sparked my interest into cryptids and the paranormal. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ashleybreckheimer1387]

Seen the live first. This maybe my favorite. 💚😂❤❤

[@thrasher2753]

Need to attend this someday. I've been playing Fallout 76 and they have a ton of mothman love in the game. Even his statue in-game, since its based in west virginia.

[@HyprFoci]

My son and I did a 2 day trip in WV going to as many of the IRL locations from Fallout 76. It was a great time

[@mrstacyj9496]

Imagine all these good vibes and creativity focused on a REAL issue! Just think the solutions that might be identified. Thanks for sharing.

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

Thanks for visiting the Mothman Festival Jacob! Hope you had an awesome time. Gotta try some Pepperoni rolls when you have a chance and you should also stop and have a meal at a Tudor’s Biscuit World sometime. Good stuff! Great video 👍

[@createdbykimi6380]

Loved this video. Thank you.

[@frankbingham53]

Love this video carpetbagger and you work very hard on your videos keep it up Jacob and I love it when you say hay you carpetbagger here and this one is in the bag.

[@bg199083]

Glad that you made it to the Mothman Festival Jake! Can’t wait for Haunt Season to begin!

[@allenpedrick6502]

Jacob getting shocked in the electric chair had me laughing so hard.

[@IliaDolenz]

I look forward to your video at Mothman Festival, the Chili Cook-Off, and Transworld every year!

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

Jacob, you're going to get a little bit of culture here but the suit you took a picture with is part of the furry community. They are really well known for that beautiful moth suit. I actually had an run in with them a while back at a convention in Pittsburgh It's good to know that you actually ran into somebody I know lol😊

[@XaviHaunts]

NOOOOOO-

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

@@XaviHaunts mmmmmmm someone knows mmmmmm* rubs chin

[@suemoo22]

Thanks!

[@cherylreynolds1869]

I met you in 2018. One of the best days of my life. I scared you by yell "Carpetbagger"!!!!

[@johneggers1400]

It's really crazy to see how much this festival has grown. Growing up in ohio right across that bridge I've heard about mothman for as far back as I can remember.

[@tommywalker742]

Fun festival!

[@history_leisure]

you could say the Mothman statue is the pleasantest point in the town

[@nataliecrow6533]

When you said you were coming all these people are waiting to see you, that is why it is so backed up 😉

[@marystewart1125]

We went on a quiet weekday and the city was awesome. Just go see it whenever you can. Marietta, Ohio is close by and very cute to visit.

[@mjdarkcreations]

"here is the biggest creep in the festival" That person first took that personaly hahaha and then realized why he said that

[@Jarvel5]

Fun Video. Yes Last year it was super busy. looked a little more light this year, but still busy

[@stephanieg3325]

I cannot believe someone would give the finger when you walked past the blue and gray two tone truck!!! How disgusting!!!

[@briancoxinspector]

Punk kids being punk kids! He’s in a old ford truck as Jacob crossing the bridge.

[@pbg624]

Ok good I was hoping someone said something in the comments. I don’t understand why people do that in the background of peoples photos and videos.

[@deborahnodd9414]

Hey! While you were walking on the bridge some Dude was flipping you off from a small truck! What a jerk!

[@alexgeorge501]

I love me some good-fashioned fun with Cryptids and local Monsters, especally with one month away from the month of Halloween!

[@MissouriPenny]

Jacob the funnest adult i lnow ..you make wierd and nerdy 🤓 so cool .

[@saratf]

I'm from Brazil and I live in Idaho. I've been to some of the places Jacob went and I must say I love this part of American culture! Side road attractions are the best here!!! Definitely adding Mothman Festival to the list of things I want to do!!!

[@gillygillyyt55]

Excellent Sir 👏 a little hint of maybe your own little museum ???? Thank you 🇬🇧

[@amyandtony]

Looks so fun! Would be so cool if you opened a paranormal attraction here in Western NC.

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY,.... JACOB...WOW That's so crazy How many people Are at the MOTHMAN Festival that you Had to walk Across the Bridge But looks like It Was worth the Walk lot's of Fun And bunch of Awesome mothpeople Around to see Well ok take care stay safe and will see you on the next video

[@EsmeGrubb]
