MOTHMAN FLUTTERINGS

Inspired by a childhood experience Andrew Colvin comments on in Mothman Photographer III, I wrote this: Mothman, Puppet Wolves and the Nunahee, for UFO Digest.

Regan Lee is very pleased to announce she is a member of Nick Redfern’s “Crypto Squad USA”, joining other bloggers and researchers across the USA in their search for Fortean, weird, and mysterious creatures.

I think this will develop into something more in depth later on, but right now I’m just commenting on the pull Mothman seems to have for so many people, including myself. I’ve been intrigued by the Mothman story since I first heard about it years ago, and yet, I’ve never been back east. (Only briefly for a few days in N. Carolina.)

I had given someone at work my links to blogs, etc. and he comes up to me a few days later, asking me: “What the f*** is Mothman?” He had never heard of it. Hard to explain, or do any of the story justice, in a minute or two while at work. I did my best. I mentioned how West Virginia has a haunted, weird, Fortean history going back hundreds of years. He told me he’s been to that area, and that there is something very weird there, a general “vibe” of weirdness. He also told me he’s fascinated by Mothman and wants to know more.

Colvin mentions this pull in his books as well. A lot of layers to this idea, and that’s why I say this line of thinking will no doubt be developed further.

Speaking of Colvin’s books, I highly recommend them.

I wrote about two odd things that I observed the other day on my Orange Orb blog, after putting out the intent to have something appear of an esoteric nature. Blame it on something I read in Mothman’s Photographer III.

A thank you to Nick Redfern, who alerted me to the news that Amazon.com now has Andrew Colvin’s book, The Mothman’s Photographer III available. (Nick Redfern wrote the forward for the book.) Yea! I just ordered it, and can’t wait to read it.

Well, almost. You can find Andrew Colvin’s Mothman’s Photographer III, with a forward by Nick Redfern, on Amazon.com. At this time, if you go there, they’ll tell you it isn’t available yet — but hold on, it will be any day now! Be sure to order a copy; I can’t wait to get mine.
