MOTHMAN FLUTTERINGS

Colvin has a blog, which I just discovered. Der. Here it is.

Here’s the latest Mothman newsletter from Andrew Colvin (author of Mothman’s Photographer) As always, thanks to Andrew for allowing me to repost his news . . .

Mothramanics:

I will be a guest tomorrow, Wed., on the new and improved “live call-
in” version of Beyond the Grassy Knoll, which is starting to soar
with heavy hitting guests from the superspectrum. I have no idea what
we are going to talk about, which should make it interesting. Starts
at noon PST…

Below is a photo of some “Mothman” leaf masks by a guy I am writing a
book with, the amazing Bruce Bickford, who once did claymation for
Frank Zappa.

I remember reading in an issue of FATE magazine many years ago something about a Russian Mothman. Andrew Colvin and other Mothman researchers have commented that Mothman has been seen in other countries. And, Mothman encounters have been reported in other places in the U.S. other than Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

If the above is true — that Mothman is global and not restricted to a specific region, like West Virginia — then the theory that Mothman is a government psy ops creation doesn’t hold up. It’s possible the government, in a dark rogue shadow mind control kind of way, has something to do with it; but responsible for Mothman? Probably not likely.

I came across this article on Pravda about Russian groups who study Mothman: Mothman phenomenon: I want to believe

Yes, it was on Pravda, so keep that in mind!

In John A. Keel’s Mothman Prophecies, he writes about a Russian encounter in 1908. (The year of the Tunguska event.) Writer V.K. Arsenyev found a man’s footprint while hiking. He had his dog, Alpha, with him, when he encountered an “unknown animal.”

I head the beating of wings. Something large and dark emerged from the fog and flew over the river. A moment later it disappeared into the dense mist. My dog, badly frightened, pressed itself to my feet.”

Arsenyev told his story to the people in the area, who:

“broke into a vividd story about a man who could fly in the air. Hunters often saw his tracks, tracks that appeared suddenly and vanished suddenly, in such a way that they could only be possible if the “man” alighted on the ground, then took off again into the air. (The Mothman Prophecies, John A. Keel, p28)

There are many more stories of winged human like beings from all over the world. Maybe it’s a mistake to think of Mothman as just a singular entity that is personnel to West Virginia.

A test to test a Technorati feature. Just ignore. . .

I found a few things on Mothman over at Lulu.com, on-line publishing site. (Where I’ll be offering some items soon, though not on Mothman.) I found this: The Mothman Legacy by Andrew Norman.

From the blurb on LuLu:

An audio diary of Andrew Norman’s experiences at the 2005 Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Includes detailed summaries of the guest speakers and a creepy hayride around the TNT area where the Mothman was seen. Roam through downtown Point Pleasant with the author as he visits the Mothman and River Museums. An eerie electronic score by Paul Bishop adds an extra dimension to the 36-minute-long narration.

Lesley, blogging queen (Debris Field, Beyond the Dial, Machine Elf, and so many more) recently received her copy of Andrew Colvin’s Mothman Photographer II. Maybe Lesley will write something as a guest blogger here about her responses to the book.

Speaking of Andrews, are we to be concerned about the synchronicty of two Andrews pontificating on Mothman?
