Most observers describe the
Mothman as a winged man-sized creature with
large reflective red eyes and large moth-like
wings. The creature was sometimes reported as
having no head, with its eyes set into its
chest.
However, there
are other creatures that have been reported
with similar characteristics. Of
course, remember that eye witnesses do not
always describe the same thing in the same
way, or use the same terms. An
analysis is needed of the primary
characteristics common to all, to determine
is another creature might be a misidentified
Mothman.
Mothman Common Criteria:
Large -
much taller than an adult man.
Dark -
black, pitch, jet, or very dark gray.
No
highlighted features - no glossy
surfaces or light colored parts.
Red
Glowing Eyes - eyes that reflect light
or emit light.
Rustling
Wing Sound - making a sound with its
wings or cloak.
Rarely
speaks - infrequently speaks in human
language, with a non human sounding
voice.
Leaves
behind incidental harm - does not seem
to purposefully harm humans, but leaves
humans contacted with mild to severe
injury or illness.
Does not
appear to kill - though humans may die
indirectly, or deaths attributed
incorrectly.
Associated
with mayhem - found before, during and
after, disasters, plagues, and large
numbers of deaths.
The
following are reported creatures that
might be Mothmen, based upon the
Mothmen's ability to shift their shape,
or caused by the witnesses own
difficulty comprehending what they have
seen.
Are
Australian Aboriginal Cave Paintings of
mythical creatures or deities, or what
we now call Mothmen? What about
Anasazi?
Unusual Cave Paintings
Anasazi Mothmen?
Aboriginal Australian Mothmen?
Aboriginal Australian Mothmen?
Aboriginal Australian Mothmen?
North American Saharan Mothman?
Nyika Malawi Africa Mothmen?
When
looking at cave paintings such as
these, it is easy to imagine many
things. But if Mothman have
been with us always, could they be
the inspiration for such drawings?
