	Mothman & the Thunderbird
		According to author John A. Keel (The Mothman Prophecies, 1975) who was on hand investigating the reports during the time of the sightings, the creature was reported to be roughly man-shaped, either grey or brown, and between five and seven feet tall.
		The main difference between the Mothman descriptions and the Thunderbird artifact is that the artifact is crafted with a head, while the Mothman is typically described as having no head.
		The constants between the Mothman and Thunderbird are in the paranormal aspects.

	The Cryptid Zoo: Mothman
		Mothman has been sighted many places in Virginia and West Virginia, but the largest number of sightings happened in or near a place known as "the TNT Area," an abandoned ammunitions dump dating from World War II that is near Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
		Mothman is described as being gray (or possibly brown) in color.
		Since there only seems to be one Mothman instead of a bunch of his kind, and since he seems rather paranormal, these sightings are not of much interest to cryptozoologists.

	Anomalist Feature: Mothman's Eyes
		Mothman's red glowing eyes, set into the "shoulders," (the head was not an outstanding characteristic) seem to have been more terrifying than either the stature of the creature or the ten-foot span of its wings.
		Perhaps the light sensitive eyes of the Mothman were slow to recover from the blinding effects of automobile headlights and other brilliant light sources.
		My point is that the subtle facts recorded by independent witnesses plainly indicated that Mothman had eyes that were more efficient in gathering the available light so that this creature could "see" in the dark.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Mothman Prophecies
		Nobody seems to know if the Mothman is a savior or is the inexplicable force behind the disasters, but those who've seen him come away from the experience shaken (not stirred).
		In The Mothman Prophecies, the disaster occurs on Christmas Eve as a cheap ploy to heighten the impact of the story, but this is a fabrication.
		The Mothman is actually seen once, and Indrid Cole is seen in shadows at another point in the film, but there is no climax regarding the very phenomenon around which the film is based.

	The Mothman Prophecies. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The mothman is believed to be a strange bird-like creature whose presence in 1965 brought chaos to the local community in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
		The Mothman explores the alleged sightings that took place at Pointe Pleasant, West Virginia prior to the collapse of a bridge at Christmas time, which killed a number of residents in the town.
		While The Mothman fell somewhat short for me, it is a film that you will think about, not so much from the perspective of who the Mothman was or is, but from the perspective of how we fight our own individual demons and difficulties.

	The Mothman File
		He chronicled his experiences in a book, The Mothman Prophecies (also published as Visitors From Space: The Astonishing, True Story of the Mothman Prophecies), a headily baroque mixture of the intriguing and the crackpot, in which the author appears to be steadily losing his mind.

	The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
		It appears that many Point Pleasant residents have seen a “mothman” creature similar to the one experienced by Mary, and she begins to actively haunt him.
		Perhaps some of this results from the alleged factual basis of the material; the matters remain unresolved, so the filmmakers might have preferred to do the same with their version.
		The Mothman Prophecies appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 and in a fullscreen version on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		The mothman is commonly referred to as The Mothman of Point Pleasant.

		Mothman was mostly seen near the disused dormant North Power Plant, part of the West Virginia Ordnance Works.
		The difference between The Mothman Prophecies (New York: Tor Books, 2002) and other 'casebooks' of this ilk is illustrated by Keels' good humor (how he kept it I don't know), his modesty, and his apparent realization that he was not in a position to assume an objective role in documenting the goings-on in Point Pleasant.
		A mention of Mothman in this apparently biographical work - interesting, at least: "The government was fooling around with some experimental warfare technologies, testing the effects of various radiations and electromagnetic fields on a guinea pig population in this sleepy [West Virginia] town.

		I say during the ufo era, for while the this winged monstrosity is only occasionally linked with UFO's, many of the most famous sightings to take place happened during a rash of UFO sightings and other strange occurrences, such as Men in Black visitations in the Ohio River Valley in 1966 and 1967.

		Similarly, there were multiple Mothman sightings before and during the Xiaon Te Dam collapse in China in 1926, a 1983 plane disappearance in the Bermuda triangle, a 1978 mine collapse in Germany, and an earthquake in Chicago in 1951--the only earthquake in the city's history.
		Before the disaster, there were more than one hundred reports of Mothman sightings, as well as other anomalies (the usual UFO sightings, green aliens with anal probes, etc.), many of which were reported in the local paper and enough to convince most people there was something funny going on.
