Now that is interesting, because last night I was discussing Mothman with my eighty-four year old mother, who wasn’t very familiar with Mothman. (I had brought my copy of Andrew Colvin’s new book Mothman Speaks! to show her; she found the book interesting and wanted to borrow it!) I told her about an incident I had when watching an episode of Paranormal State about Mothman, which included psychic Chip Coffey. (I had anticipated what Coffey was going to say and felt a strong electrical buzzing sensation… more on that will soon appear on Tim Binnal’s site.) Our conversation included interesting thoughts from mom on the military and paranormal events; including Mothman.

I’ve posted about England’s advertising campaign for a perfume company, that uses the owl as its mascot. A giant walking owl (not really an owl, of course! A person in an owl mask) that hands out coupons, travels the trams, etc. You can also follow the owl’s journeys on Facebook and Twitter. Some find this very cool, others creepy. I’m in the latter camp, finding, as always, Fortean conspiratorial connections everywhere. And I don’t like clowns, or mascots.

Colvin contributes to the L.O.W.F.I. site; you can find him on the Washington L.O.W.F.I. section here. And shameless plug, you can find me on the Oregon L.O.W.F.I. section here.

On November 15, 1966, the World was introduced to the phenomenon that would become known as Mothman. After the first sighting reported by the press 44 years ago in the papers of the day, soon a copyeditor in Ohio, a fan of the “Batman” series then on television, would coin the word “Mothman” because it fit in the headlines better. The sightings of a “Big Bird” had become a “big insect” with one copyeditor’s action.
