cool article although I thought the mothman was strictly a US thing, makes me wonder if there is some sort of new thing that they are seeing.

yeah I thought kind the same thing about it being something else, cuz I always thought that the first sighting was in point pleasant back in the 60's that vid made me go recheck my info lol :roll:

interesting stuff, spirits. this is what i read in that article:

"New research has revealed that there is a strong possibility that this assumption was incorrect and that the Mothman did not simply disappear. There is evidence that the Mothman case bears striking similarities to a lengthy investigation carried out in London which dealt with a supernatural phenomena dubbed by the British media ‘The Highgate Vampire’."

my thought is that if it's similar, who is to say the "Mothman" experience in the US is simply just a US thing? perhaps it's more worldwide, but no experiences have been reported until now? mmm.. so curious about this!

This is interesting. A few months ago I was planning on visiting Highgate Cemetary, however, this being England, the weather was awful, so I never went.

However, in anticipation of the visit I did a little bit of research into the Highgate Vampire, and a lot of people seem to suggest that it was started by one or two vague accounts. Two investigators set out to try and find what was going on, and an intense rivalry began between them. Some claim the coverage and claims were fabricated by each investigator in an attempt to "out do" the other.

Personally, due to the circumstances in which the stories and information were collected, I think it's hard to take too many of the claims seriously.

Also, in Victorian England, there were many reports of "Spring-Heeled Jack" which I read about first when I was very young, and when I first heard of the Mothman, I was reminded of this story.
