MOTH balls?

Mothman is alive and well and living in Tucson, Arizona. Which is odd, because he’s from West Virginia. A photo of the winged creature – half-man, half-bird – was uploaded to Facebook by Tucson resident Richard Christianson earlier this year and has been shared thousands of times. But Mothman became linked to the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where 46 people died. In The Mothman Prophecies, author John Keel said Mothman was a supernatural demon that was a predictor of the bridge tragedy. Now he’s reappeared, people say it’s a sign of the end of times. Others say it’s a palm tree. Christianson hasn’t offered any clues about the photo’s origins and is fed up with the whole thing. He’s probably not going to Point Pleasant’s 16th Annual Festival Mothman this September… so will miss out on the Mothman hayride.
