Mothman – A Tribute to West Virginia's Hilarious Legend
My daughter Juniper stumbled upon Mothman on the net and found the legend hilarious. She created this T-Shirt as a tribute to the myth.
A little from the Wikipedia entry on Mothman:
Mothman is the name given to a being or creature reported in the Charleston and Point Pleasant areas of West VirginiaNovember 12, 1966, near Clendenin, and December 1967. Most observers describe the Mothman as a winged man-sized creature with large reflective red eyes and large moth-like wings.
“For thirteen month the entire town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia was gripped by a dark terror that culminated in a tragedy that made headlines all over the world. This is a story that contains all the elements of a modern science fiction movie but every single word is true and fully documented by famed journalist John A. Keel.”
“Homes throughout the little towns were plagued with unearthly noises and ghostly manifestations while mysterious aerial lights traveled silently overhead seemingly on a regular schedule. Winged monsters and frightening apparitions terrified the population as automobiles stalled and telephones and TV sets ran amok. A Red Cross Bloodmobile filled with fresh blood was pursued along a darkened highway by a weird flying machine. Domestic animals were found slaughtered and mutilated in pastoral farm fields. Innocent people lived in surrealistic horror, haunted by the fearsome demonic “Bird” and besieged by legions of strange beings (some of which arrived in ordinary-looking automobiles).”
