The Mothman - 100+ eyewitnesses can't be wrong!

[Scepcop]

The Mothman sightings in West Virginia 1967.

A hundred plus witnesses can't be all lying or deluded. One of the best cases for the paranormal ever.

I saw the film with Richard Gere. It was very spooky.

Here is a 5 part longer documentary about the Mothman. It is very convincing and scary.

Very convincing! 100+ eyewitnesses can't be wrong, especially since many sightings were by MULTIPLE PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME!

Pseudoskeptics have no way to dispute this one!

[ciscop]

yes
they can all be wrong

there is a case very famous
of a bear that went missing in germany (netherlands?)
in the newspapers they printed out the story of the missing bear
there were over 2000 people that saw the bear everywhere

the thing is that the bear died really close to the zoo the same day they printed out the story

so yes..100people can be wrong
wether you accept it, you like it or not
you just like to deceive yourself

I thought that years ago, this was determined to have been a Sandhill Crane?

[ciscop]

the first eyes witnesses were the ones that made everybody else scared

this is the mothman


one of the eyewitnesses on the videos you provided
called it a LARGE BIRD

I have always found the stories about 'Mothman' very interesting. As far as logical explanations for some of the sightings I will tell you that a barred owl can fit the description quite well. Those suckers are huge and when they take off in flight they can seem almost human sized. But I still believe there is something unexplained out there for all of those stories and sightings to have been started.

[ciscop]

not really
like i said
in this case you only needed one couple making a mistake and telling everybody the monster they saw
to start the paraedolia and mass hallucinations
as simple as that

here in my city a cop on duty saw a witch flying in a broom
2 days later a couple of kids saw her too..
you only need one to start a fire
thats it

And don't forget the Argentinian Gnome!

A sandhill crane! LOL Well, that settles it, then.

Wag, you never disappoint, but that's only because I expect you to say something very stupid.

The "moth-man" didn't resemble a moth or butterfly in any way other than having wings. The name "moth-man" came from an episode of "BATMAN" that aired around the same time as the sightings.
