POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. (WSAZ) — A powerful explosion rocked the night sky over Mason County early Monday morning — powerful because it was fueled by ammunition.

We’re talking about an underground bunker at what’s commonly known as the old TNT site near Point Pleasant.

That area is famous for another reason — it’s where the legendary Mothman was supposedly spotted. But, while the circumstances surrounding this event are still puzzling, investigators are confident they’ll solve this mystery sooner rather than later.

“It was so bright it turned night into day,” Adam Frazier said. “I didn’t hear an explosion, but I saw the light.”

He said he shot a light about a mile away from his home around 1 a.m. Monday.

“I shot it with my cell phone because I knew no one would believe me,” Frazier said.

An underground storage bunker was the source of the blast. Empty barrels and metal storage boxes were thrown everywhere, some landing as far as 100 feet away in a nearby swamp.

“The steel doors were thrown off, and the ceiling is made of 6-inch concrete that lifted up and then caved in,” Gary Sharp with the Division of Natural Resources said. “The blast was pretty extensive.”

The rest here.

Loren Coleman comments on Cryptomundo.

Last night’s episode had a Mothman like moment; a large bird, following characters around, seemingly the cause of a car accident, and hanging around the town’s annual carnival. Of course there’s a carnival! High up in a tree, the strange bird watches the crowd below. People disappear; strange things afoot.. the bird glides off, looking much like a Thunderbird and making an unearthly, unbirdlike cry. The bird gets a few people’s attention, and is considered a bad omen by some, a sign of things to come for others.

The show didn’t make any references to Mothman but it just reminded me of Mothman in some ways.

Due to some skillful prodding by Vyz, I have done three new interviews on Think or Be Eaten, which delve into my October return trip to the Indian mounds of Ohio. These are some of the more wide-ranging of the shows we have done. The first show (#47) looks at, among other things, my own family history and how it seems to tie directly into the Egyptians via the Pharaoic Montauk “Indians” on Long Island (whom the Colvins married into in the 1700s). In the second hour, we go into Masonic symbolisms – how they evolved from the Moors/Egyptians, and how they undergird the history of America and Europe (apparently 30 of our presidents were related to the Montauks).

In the third show (#48), which turns out to be Vyz’s all-time longest interview, we go further into the evolving 11:11 mystery which, in addition to tying into key symbolisms of ancient Egypt, now includes that synchronistic Mothman sighting in early October, only a week before I left for Ohio. Again, this sighting was only a mile or two away from the 1111 Independence Ave. address I was visiting.

If you don’t have time to listen to the entire two-hour show, make sure you skip to the end so you can hear our new song, “Flying High With the Mothman.” The song, which is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, tells the story of Indrid Cold and Apol, the famous MIBs of the Mothman story. Special thanks to guitarist Neal Mindrum for his help on this song, which was recorded in one take into a laptop – during a freezing wind – at the largest Indian mound in Ohio (at Miamisburg).

I’ve also got a recent blog on the subject, although it isn’t nearly as detailed as the interviews:
