Mothman pics (Indras Cold)

Only assuming that scientific explanations are the only explanations there are. In the field of parapsychology this isn't always the case. It becomes practical as a matter of continuing research to explain many paranormal phenomena in terms of spirits, telepathy, ghost lights, residual events, or even alien beings from another planet. None of these are scientific and yet they serve to explain the phenomena well without explaining it away.

Awww..Don't worry dearie. You'll be alright. Just repeat after me over and over: "Mothman isn't real. Mothman isn't real..."

Maybe it had something to do with causing the "Little Ice Age" which lasted from about 1500 to 1850.

Might indeed have contributed to the intensification. "...that summer cold and ice growth began abruptly between AD 1275 and 1300, followed by 'a substantial intensification' from 1430 to 1455 AD."

 

Magical Realist,
Why are you so, so adamant Mothman is "real"? Have You seen it?
Again I have heard of it. And like I said at night many people do get there sizes "wrong".
There is a show called Monster Quest. And there was a Mothman episode (very interesting)... Did you or anyone else see it?

 

I think these people saw something strange--strange enough to scare the crap out of them. Call me naive, but I give people the benefit of the doubt, particularly when enough of them report seeing the same thing in the same area. I never saw the Monsterquest episode on it. I DID see the Mothman Prophecies. Oops..There's goes my credibility..

 

Definitely. A lot of people get the crap scared out of them on dark nights. Heck, some people are afraid of the dark.

That they saw something that scared them? Definitely. That they saw a flying half-man half-moth with glowing red eyes that ate German shepherds and ruined TV reception? And that was related to the bridge collapse in 1967? That's imagination.

 

That's what they all saw. I take their word for it.

 

A lot more people have seen Santa Claus than "Mothman." Do you take their words for it?

 

You are naive.

Your credibility was gone long before that comment.

What? People are claiming to have seen the real Santa Claus? Where did you hear this?

 

From my eight year old nephew. Who did not claim to see the "real" Santa; he just saw Santa Claus, like millions of children and adults have.

How many people have seen Mothman?

 

LOL! Oh.. from little kids who saw dept store imposters of Santa. I see..Take your meds yet?

Mothman and his side kick Butterflyboy. They are sure to win out against evil and save mankind; unless someone leaves an outside light on, in which case they will just fly in circles around the light while evil escapes.

 

Got anything else outside of Youtube documentaries, blurry pictures, and eyewitness accounts of seeing something odd? Oh, wait, it's paranormal, so you wouldn't have anything more than that. I'm open minded to more evidence, but when I get more of the same, I lose interest in the subject.

 

Short of making Mothman appear before you in the flesh, photos and eyewitness accounts are what we are limited to. But even then see you could always dismiss it as a man in a costume like they do with the really good Bigfoot videos. Let's be honest here, there is no evidence that could ever satisfy you because you've already made up your mind on this matter. Such a phenomena is totally impossible in your conceived universe. For you over 100 eyewitnesses of the same creature are either all delusional fools or else all lying con artists just trying to make their economically-struggling small town attractive to tourists. Be honest now. What would it REALLY take to convince you?

 

As I said earlier...

I've read reviews of the MonsterQuest show on Mothman, from both sides, I wouldn't waste time on it. It's more of the usual and actually doesn't do a great job of covering the history and full speculation that's out there. Basically, a ratings show, nothing more.

Face it, there's not enough to convince skeptics of this thing. I don't doubt people see things. I just don't think it could be what they think it is. The claim is on them and yourself to bring good data to the table, and if that isn't possible, then we're right where we started.

 

This "Mothman"... Does he answer to the name of Arthur? Is he usually in the company of a rather large dude in a blue suit?

 

I'm getting a kick out of this.

So Mothman, a dog-eating half moth/half man who knocks down bridges that no one has gotten a good picture of, is real. The only problem is convincing closed-minded people of it.

But wingsuits did not exist in the 1960's. Even though I can show you one, they made a movie about them and I can introduce you to the people who jumped them in the 1960's. There's just no evidence that they existed (in your mind.)
