the mothman

the saga of the mothman began on nov 12 1966 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. two men were in a cementry preparing a burial when they saw that like "a brown human being" later two couples at a abandoned tnt factory. this factory became a focus point for the mothman. they were probarly doing like young people in love do;>) when they sighted a two large eyes on to a pair of wings . more sightings occured and finally a press confrence was held the young couples repeated their story. a batman villian was popular he was called the mothman and thus the moinker stuck. attempts to find the mothman were hampered by the fact that the tnt factory was honeycombed with tunnels and a wildlife sanctuary was nearby giving the "mothman many places to hide . john keel, a writer claimed in his bestselling book and later turned into a movie the mothman propheries calmied that the mothman could be tied into ufo's sightings, MIB (men in black) and cattle mutilations. all of which will explained in later columns. most scary of all a mothlike creature was sighted on the sliver bridge which later that day collapsed and killed 46 people! and a group of 12 lights were sighted later that night on the day of collapse. and MIB sightings were reported and even strangely a legend of a curse was borned, as people attached to the mothman sightings started to die. for a full list go to www.lorencoleman.com , interstingly the mothman has became a tourist attraciton in point pleasant, west virginia and you buy t-shirt and beanies and more and a festival has gone on. the mothman will live on. what was the mothman, many sightings were atributed to sandhill cranes , a mutant owl or a alien or a freak of nature many theories were put forth. but the story is not over on september 11 a amateur photographer clamied that a picture he has taked of the first or second tower collapse has a small moth like figure flying away. maybe the mothman is a demon or angel of death that is attracted to death and suffering which would explained his proxmity to the sliver bridge and the world trade center attacks, like much in the world we may never know...
