You seem to go out of your way to look for statements concerning West Virginians being inferior that simply aren’t there.

Also the mothman legend is about a moth like man/creature flying down to earth. I hate to break it to you but ANY TIME you have a story like that there will always be skeptics. I don’t care if it happened in West Virginia, Nevada, California, or New York. It has nothing to do with where it happened and everything to do with the fact people are claiming they saw a MOTHMAN! Its human nature. Most people want proof before they will put all their faith in such claims. Get over yourself.

It should also be noted that a good number of Point Pleasant residents disbelieve or doubt the mothman legend. So I find it hard to accept your theory that the rest of the world is ganging up on you guys when so many residents doubt it as well. You’re simply trying to represent yourself as a victim in the hopes you can turn it around on others to force what you believe on them.

If you have such a need to prove the mothman was real then go out and find proof. Prove that it was real! Otherwise quit whining about how you and your fellow West Virginians are some kind of victims. Thats such a cop out. I honestly don’t see how you can be so irate with people for not believing or doubting a story with no proof. People have the right to believe or disbelieve such fantastic claims. It is only narrow minded people that think everyone should believe the same as they do.

I am clearly on the record in supporting what people in Point Pleasant have said they said they saw, and not what the debunkers have claimed about cranes and things.

However, I consider the cryptozoological answer in the realm of large unknown birds ~ which are not misidentifications but the reality.

Another thing that you like to imply in every essay that you write about Mothman is that it was invented for tourism & you seem to like to report sarcastically about the museum & other places of buisness that pay tribute to Mothman like it’s just one big shameful cash grab or something. It’s actually a little more noble than SELLING RC TOYS made to resemble the descriptions of Mothman, Books, or running a money making website. Roswell has festivals & many other places. It’s no different here. It’s the American way.

Rest assured, Loren, that something landed here & it WAS NOT a ‘bird’ and to this day W.Va is a UFO hotspot. The Mothman festival is to tell the world that something happened here & it was witnessed by smart, credible people that know the difference between birds & aliens & robots. What happened here is one of the most important events in human history but the government would like to see it discredited & swept under the rug.
