I have noticed that there were a few posts on the Mothman. I happen to live in the infamous Mothman-ville! (Point Pleasant, WV). A few weekends ago, we had the Mothman Festival, which was a blast! I have several different pictures, as well as some web-links that you can visit.

I've read a lot about the Mothman. It's one of the more interesting cryptozoology/ paranormal cases out there. The festival sounds cool.

I've heard of the movie (but have never seen it). I didn't know it was based on something. Thanks for the link truthseeker it was very interesting!

i watched about the moth man on the show weird travels and it was like saying that the moth man flew around this bridge one night and then the next day the bridge fell down did the moth man cause it or was it trying to warn people

Haha, When I was a kid my life goal was to catch mothman and fight him. Me and some other kids had a whole group dedicated to it and everything. It was some really fun times. Never could get him though...

The Mothman has always interested me ever since I watched the movie. I own a few books about sightings of the mothman. It's always intrigued me.

I bought John Keel's book some years ago and didn't get very far into it. I found it to be dry as dust, which considering the subject material is quite surprising.
There are some topics here on GV that you can find if you do a search, and here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mothman:

I have seen the Mothman Prophecy (Richard Gere), and watched it only because it seemed like an interesting story telling. That being said, I was mesmerized in a way that I cannot explain. I have a really hard time believing in giant Moth men telling us the future, though I do believe in the para-normal, especially spirits, but in the sense that they are the essence of each of our individual being that simply has shed its shell and moves on to a different plane of existence. In my many years of (I am 50) being 'visited' by any otherworldly entities, I had a very remote memory, virtually forgotten, pop into my head. I was between moves when a child and was staying in my grandmother's house in the Northwest on the family homestead, rather far up in the woods. My grandmother was uncanny in her 'abilities' - knowing when people were stopping by, understanding the earth/nature and being the family medicine woman, as it were. Well, along with all the usual magical things that occur in an enchanted place like the deep redwoods, I only recently remembered waking up in the middle of night and seeing (and at 6 being terrified into paralization) what I recall describing to my father as a 'giant moth' - the moth part was very specific. I heard speech of some sort, but honestly don't remember anything specifically 'said' to me. Anyone else have a specific 'Moth' manifestation? What should I have expected to experience?

My wack theory- an Alien watched Superman and decided becoming a super hero would be the best way to introduce himself to humans. Unfortunatley the publics reaction to him was not like in the movies; so he got really depressed and never comes out of his room anymore.

Too much "fact" to be an "urban legend" but still not really believeable; guess it depends on what book(s) you have read or movie(s) you have seen. I think it is real but then I believe in ghosts so what do I know?
