Interesting Random Factoid(s)
- Mistletoe means something very unromantic in
German.
- The holiday flora is an ancient symbol of fertility and
virility — and the Druids believed it was an actual aphrodisiac. So
keep that in mind next time someone jokes about meeting you under
the mistletoe. The name itself even has a funny meaning: Mistle
thrush birds eat the plant's berries, digest the seeds, and then
the droppings eventually grow into new plants. So, the Germanic
word for mistletoe literally means "dung on a twig." Romantic,
huh?

Nods to the original, inspired paranormal investigators
and ignores 2016 Version
- Trucker Reports Seven-Foot-Tall 'Person with Wings' near O'Hare
International Airport
- The witness used language as seen in previous sighting reports
from the largely Hispanic neighborhood of Chicago's Little
Village.
Mothman, History, Legend and New Debate
- First up, what’s Mothman?
- In West Virginia folklore, the Mothman is a creature reportedly
seen in the Point Pleasant area from November 12, 1966, to December
15, 1967. The first newspaper report was published in the Point
Pleasant Register dated November 16, 1966, titled "Couples See
Man-Sized Bird ... Creature ... Something".[1] The national press
soon picked up the reports and helped spread the story across the
United States.
The Mothman was introduced to a wider audience by Gray
Barker in 1970 and later popularized by John Keel in his 1975 book
The Mothman Prophecies, claiming that there were supernatural
events related to the sightings, and a connection to the collapse
of the Silver Bridge.
- On November 12, 1966, five men who were digging a grave
at a cemetery near Clendenin, West Virginia, claimed to have seen a
man-like figure fly low from the trees over their heads[6] This is
often identified as the first known sighting of what became known
as the Mothman.
- Shortly thereafter, on November 15, 1966, two young couples
from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary
Mallette, told police they saw a large grey creature whose eyes
"glowed red" when the car's headlights picked it up. They described
it as a "large flying man with ten-foot wings", following their car
while they were driving in an area outside of town known as "the
TNT area", the site of a former World War II munitions
plant.[7][8]
- FINAL NOTE: We found textbook CUTE Factor and stinging ridicule
posing as journalism. Hindsight tells us that the dwindling trickle
of occasional Mothman articles would soon be buried and forgotten
under an avalanche of newspaper accounts dutifully reporting an
invasion of UFO sightings. Thanks to John Keel, the Mothman mystery
would one day begin as flawed folklore. It would evolve into
weapons-grade “balonium” thanks to The Mothman Prophecies
movie.
Our Epic 4 Day Adventure Road Trip: Mothman,
Mothman Museum and the TNT Domes/Igloos.
- Point Pleasant is a pretty town, tiny (only one
McDonalds!).
- The Museum is really cool.
- Gift Shop is free. The original Gift shop has tons of Mothman
stuff
- New Gift Shop Across the Street: “Think Spencers or Archie
McPhee”
- Mothman Statue right next to the museum.
- Museum has all the articles laid out in a cool way:
Chronological and Type.
- Has section for the movie, and a section for Fortnite as well
as all the cultural/TV references.
- Museum is definitely something to go back to. There’s too many
articles and info pieces there.
- Be sure to ask the gift shop for the directions to the TNT
Igloos.
- They don’t do tours anymore, only during the festival.
- The domes are overgrown, count them out in your head.
- Not an area you want to stay too long at.
- Started to get headaches.
- Echoes a lot and sound bounces. Pepper didn’t like it.
- Got “turned around”....Couldn’t figure out where an igloo was,
walked to end, then walked right past Greg, didn’t see him, didn’t
HEAR him.
