Mothman On The Brain

I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, and had planned on posting it at The Orange Orb blog.

Too lazy to read or work on writing, and too late to do anything around the house, I turned on A&E last night and caught the last 20 minutes of Paranormal State. I usually don’t watch that show; I just don’t care for it. Not much substance, although I like the psychic Chip. The episode I caught was the one on Mothman. I found the whole thing irritating, because there was no there there. They had gone to Point Pleasant, interviewed witnesses, and yet, the whole thing seemed empty. Over forty years of research by some very excellent people in the field, and they’re going to step in and discover something new? Feh. Anyway.

Off they go, in the wee hours, to the TNT area where Mothman was first seen so many years ago. Chip, the psychic (who I find credible) sent chills through me. He was affected by what he picked up, which was, he said, something he had never experienced before. It wasn’t spirit, or a ghost, it was “intelligence.” Non-human, intelligence, and when he said that, something went through me; it made sense and I “felt” that it was right. Chip went on to say — and he implied there was more than one Mothman — Mothman wasn’t responible for the Silver Bridge collapse or other misfortunes, he/it/they were trying to warn everyone about it. That goes along with what I’ve read about Mothman. I’m no Mothman expert, not by any means, but I’ve been intrigued by Mothman since almost the beginning, and try to read everything I can on Mothman.

One thing I’m pretty convinced of about Mothman is that there is some combination of both psy-op covert stuff going on, as well as paranormal, or supernatural, events. I think the former is manipulating the latter.

Currently, I’m reading Colvin’s book Mothman’s Photographer II. He talks about a lot of things; one thing he writes about are the bird like and mothman like images he comes across, and the role they play in regards to messages and synchronicities. A couple of weeks ago, after reading that, I passed by a building I pass by a few times a week, and up ahead, I see what looked like the Mothman statue in Point Pleasant! As I drove closer to the thing, I saw that it was a large sculpture of a bird with its wings outstretched. It didn’t make much sense; the sculpture didn’t seem to have anything to do with the business it was in front of.

Last night I had a dream about Mothman. He came to visit me. It was uncomfortable, almost scary, and yet, it wasn’t. He wasn’t scary, or had ill intent, but .. . there was a vague, scary feeling associated with his appearance. He had something to tell me. But, as usual with dreams, I forgot what it was. This wasn’t any earth shattering or even vivid dream, just interesting I have Mothman on the brain so much these days.
