I don't know why, but I long for some modern day Mothman sightings. I mean the 60's was a long time ago for alot of people living in the here and now. Without as many consistent sightings as there are with Bigfoot, I think people would believe less in Mothman because he was just a one time deal. I'm not saying I'd believe in that estimation but alot of non-believers could debunk credible eyewitness testimony by asking the question of why there hasn't been any frequent Mothman sightings leading up to current day.

[edit on 6-4-2005 by Reptilian_Queen]

I hate to say it but I think that in many unexplained cryptozoological cases I am guilty of passing off the evidence or sighting as a hoax or misunderstanding if it was an isolated incident. It is just more difficult to believe in something that either happened a great deal of time ago or was witnessed by very few people.

As for the mothman sightings, I am not very well versed on this particular case, but it does seem odd that the cases were so frequent and then simply died down. This reminds me a lot of the Lizardman of Bishopville, South Carolina where the sightings became extremely frequent and then simply died down completely. Interestingly enough the mothman case has not faded like many of these one time sightings do, perhaps it is because cases this unique don’t come around everyday.

If the witnesses of the mothman were telling the truth about what they saw and were not simply clouded by public hysteria then it begs the question as to why we have not seen any recent sightings. Perhaps the creature was an extreme mutation or simply died off or maybe it was intelligent to see the effect of its contact with humans and has learned from these instances? These possibilities all seem like long shots to me no matter how objectively I attempt to consider them. I simply think there is a logical explanation for this one that has been lost in an amazing story.

The sitings have and still continue around the world. During periodic and almost random times of crisis the mothman seems to appear. This is strange too as i was just thinking about the mothman before i seen this thread. If you read the book, watched the movie, or read up on this particular phenomenon than you will have invariably come across this one fact: that the mothman chooses to incarnate around the strangest places at the strangest times. Almost never does the mothman appear for some random reason.

If you remember the part in the movie when the Richard Geers (don't know if thats the right spelling) was talking to the writter (of that book about the mothman) he asked, "Why doesn't the mothman simply reveal what it is that he wants", and the writter replied, " Have you ever tried to explain yourself to a cockroach?".

It would appear then that these creatures are further evolved beyond that of the "normal" Homo sapien line. Do you remember the story of the Ark of the Covenant? If you manage to look inside you will see the face of God, and this would invariably destroy you as a finite creature cannot comprehend an infinite subject.

This goes in conjunction with the crazed character, in the movie, that ended up killing himself. Remember he was the only one who had seen the face of the mothman (Indrid Cold), and from that point his life went down hill. The writter, Richard's character was talking to, also explained that, "We are not meant to know thier intentions (mothmen)", and "The mothman appears to each individual differently when it decides to confront any human face to face."

To some it appears as an angel, to others a demon, or vagualy human, in a one-on-one appearence. When randomly spotted it appears as a "mothman" with huge red eyes, red or brown skin, and a huge wing span that doesn't flap when it flies. Some people report common symptoms when encounterd with one as well: swelling and irritation of the eyes, intense heat, and a destructive voice or hum beyond that of human understanding.

The mothman isn't some sort of "60's fad" either. If you watch the bonus stuff of the DVD it states that the mothman has appeared all over the world and even back in time in cave paintings as far back as the human has recorded. As far as 'why' those particular entities have choosen the guise of a 'moth' relates to the symbolizm the moth had to those prehistoric tribes that first noted them. To them the moth was the symbol for the underworld or the realm of death as it were.

Now to make sense of the 'silver bridge insident'. If it is true that the mothmen have agendas beyond that of our comprehension, then perhaps their reason for their involvement in that particular insident was to "save" someone. Mabey that person wasn't the real issue. Perhaps that person carries the lineage of a person in the future who might change the world some day. Who knows.

I have always been enormously attracted to the lore of the mothman ever since i have stummbled upon it. In fact i didn't know untill recently that my dad grew up in Gallapolice, Ohio (which is right across the ohio river to Point Pleasant) when that insident happended. what irony.

I am actually writting a story about the mothman now. The idea of the story goes like this: We (human, and alien) entities were not the first beings to be created in "His image". Actually God creates the first beings as high ranking angels in His image, only to ban them away to a 'waste land of nothingness' because He created them with too powerfull a potential (power). Now to avenge their mystic falling they try to escape from this 'realm of the dead' and help humankind, God's second creation in His image, to escape the reality He has created for them, so they may take contol of thier own destiny as well. The fallen angels (mothmen) go about dropping hints about God's true nature and His true destiney for mankind... what ever that may be... Along the way we learn that what we know as "good" may not be as clear as light.

If the above scenerio is true than perhaps this is where the conception of 'demons' and 'fallen angels' have come from.
