MOTHMAN |
The Mothman is a 7-foot cryptid with moth-like wings and red glowing eyes. Reported to be a portent of disaster, the Mothman was seen by various credible witnesses in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, hovering over the Silver Bridge on several occasions before the bridge collapsed into the Ohio River on December 15, 1967. Thirty-one vehicles fell with the bridge killing forty-six people.
John Keel, UFOlogist, credited the phenomenon to parapsychological manifestations, including precognition by witnesses. Other theories suggest that people were observing Sandhill Cranes that were a problem in the area.
Though the sitings of the Mothman in Point Pleasant was the first recorded in modern times, others have followed. People reported seeing this creature before the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City, the 1986 meltdown in Cherynobl, and in New York City on September 11, 2001.
In the movie, The Mothman Prophecies, someone tells Richard Gere's character: "You noticed them. And they noticed you noticing."
Spooky. I'm gonna remember that when I'm in the backyard at night and I hear a rustling in the brush.

You've officially given me the creeps, Kristal, and I'm off to bed soon so thanks for that! ;-)
It's possible they're real. I've heard of such stories. Demons are meant to destroy things.
Certainly another thing to consider. I am sure we don't know half of the things happening around us.
I didn't notice anything! Honest!!
I'm starting up a 'Critiquing Crusaders' program, where participants in the Second Crusade can find other writers to exchange critiques with or form critiquing circles. If you're interested, come by The Kelworth Files to check it out!
اعتقد ان هذه الاحداث مرتبطة بظاهرة الصحون الطائرة التي ذاع صيتها في شمال الولايات المتحدة وربما هو احد ملائكة السماء او الشيطان بعينه لا احد يعرف حقائق هذا الموضوع لانه خارج عن الطبيعةوالمألوف
