Mothman Flutterings

Mothman on Lulu

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?

BlogTalk Radio: Andrew Colvin, Adam Gorightly

Here’s an interview on BlogTalk Radio with Andrew Colvin, on Adam Gorightly’s podcast. It’s from December of 2006.

Andrew Colvin: Newsletter

This is Andrew Colvin’s newsletter; he has very kindly allowed me to repost it here:
Mothventurers:

As you may recall, “Beyond The Grassy Knoll” has risen - like a phoenix - from the ashes. Vyz has been kind enough to keep the Mothy ball rolling. Mothman interviews 28 and 29 (which run together) are now up here:
http://gstreaming.com/vb.html

These shows cover conspiratorial events in recent weeks, revealing how mass mind control works, and how the Mothman phenomenon aims to counter that process. They will be totally downloadable in one week. Speaking of which, you can download interviews 26 and 27 here:
http://www.beyondthegrassyknoll.com/audio.html

Click in the “April 13th” section for those, and in the “March 21st” section for interview 25. FYI, Moth-friend Harriet Plumbrook has an interview in the “March 30th” section where she discusses our elementary school in Mound, WV.

Another friend, Regan Lee, has started an interesting blog on Mothman, where she discusses how reading my Mothman’s Photographer II book triggered a series of Mothman dreams and synchronicities:

Don’t forget to check my blog occasionally, as I have begun posting again after a year layoff (to edit Mothman III). What could be more
fun than exposing shills for the guvmint’s mil-oil-tary!

Lastly, my article in Paranoia Magazine #47 has finally hit the stands, forcing said mil-shills to rat-a-tat on their computer keys in an attempt to spin Mothman as “evil.”

Yours in feathers,

P.S. Just for kicks, here’s a couple of photos from a local school that adjoins a Catholic church built on sacred ground. The first one is of tilework - in progress - showing a Middle Eastern birdman much like the one that appeared when we were creating the DVD cover art for The Mothman’s Photographer reality series. The second one is a statue that looks very much like the ancient Hindu statues of the Garuda carrying Vishnu (see example).

Hurricanes in the Valley of the Dolls

Another “Mothman’ dream, even though Mothman didn’t appear in this dream in any way. There was no mention of Mothman in the dream of any kind. And yet, throughout the dream there was a sense of Mothman’s presence.

On the surface, the dream sounds terrible; horrible hurricanes keep coming, destroying property, knocking out power, hurting and killing people, etc. Lots of water and flooding.

As usual with my dreams, I am often one of the “characters” sometimes switching back and forth between characters, and then I’m in the “audience” watching the dream. Last night’s dream was like this.

The dream itself: I get premonitions of a coming storm, or hurricanes. The time frame for these events is roughly anywhere from 24 hours before the storm or hurricane, to a just a few hours before. I do what I can to alleviate and protect; I board up windows, move furniture, make sure kids and pets are safe, make sure there’s food, etc.

We watch these storms, and they’re beautiful. Something about the thunder and lightening and the power of the wind; the power of the water, is fantastic. At the same time, we, at least I, know the danger that goes with it. But I’m not afraid, just very cautious and practical.

While the dangers of these storms are real, the Mothman sense is real, there’s also a feeling of almost silliness in the melodrama. I mention to someone in the dream, in the midst of a hurricane, as we’re taking cover behind furniture and boarded up windows, that “this movie” (meaning the dream) “is one of the cheesiest movies to be made.” (I remember looking at one of the people in the dream, in the room we’re all in, behind a turned over sofa up against a window. She had jet black, piled high Valley of the Dolls hair.) It’s a move that’s so bad it’s good, sort of. A real campy movie, destined to be a classic, alongside Plan 9 From Outer Space. Okay, maybe not that bad. er, good. I mean, who can resist that movie? Remember the shot of the flying, mooing cow in the movie Twister? I love that one little shot; it’s so silly and campy, such an obvious big thriller block buster ploy. There was a sense of campy Towering Inferno melodrama in the midst of the beauty and power of the storms — and their dangers — as well as the very serious, non-melodrama (meaning, don’t be trifling around) of Mothman, even though he was unseen.

(Note: I just noticed something; after I had written this, and was proofing it, I saw the connection between my mentioning Valley of the Dolls and Sharon Tate. Sharon Tate, one of the actresses in Valley of the Dolls, was, of course, murdered by Charles Manson. (Actually, she wasn’t murdered by Manson himself; but that’s another issue.) Colvin, in his book Mothman’s Photographer II, mentions Manson, and the strange and uncomfortable associations with Manson, West Virginia, close proximity to Mothman and Colvin himself, mind control, and so much more. All those threads, connections and synchronicities we know to expect in this realm.

Like the dream itself, Mothman’s presence is about even if not overtly stated.)

Linda Scarberry is interviewed briefly in this ten minute clip. Neat old footage. From Weird USA.
