“I want to believe”

The suggestion that this might be a “Spring-Heeled Jack” come to Mexico is interesting but does not match the evidence. The most obvious being that Mothman FLIES while Jack LEAPS.

Fhqwhgads:
That was uncalled for. What does “Pastor Swope’s chicken” have to do with the mural and/or Mothman???
He saw a cryptid-like bird and everybody had to be wiseguys and dismiss it as a “chicken.” Even after he insisted he was sure it was not a chicken. He grew up on a chicken farm, for goodness sake!!!

You’re trying to be funny, I suppose. I can handle that. But at least make sure it’s relevant to the topic at hand.

Anyways back to the topic at hand—
Good post, Loren. The strangeness of real life never ceases to amaze me.

mexico is always and will always be
connected to texas, california..etc.

…I think you meant to say that Texas & California are always and will always be connected to Mexico….RIGHT??? Don’t make me go all ‘Pancho Villa’ on you, vato!

PS: One thing is certain: we still don’t know how the virus came to Mexico, or whether it originated and jumped to humans here. But if we end up finding out that the virus passed somehow through Chihuahua on its way to Veracruz & Mexico city… well, things are going to get pretty interesting.

How many sightings of these critters per year? Same size? Same appearance or close to? Witnesses unimpeachable?

Cool painting. But much else has been done with bats. This isn’t much of a stretch. I’m not trying to lasso an expedition based on this.

Not saying we can’t have fun with it. Just saying that there’s nothing here that justifies looking beyond what we see, right here.

Fun to speculate though…

The picture you show is of the Dance of Death. It’s not about evil, it’s about the universality of death — something that is all too easy to put out of mind.

the mothman don’t have round ears.

the month man may be a bat though, but why mothman? batman? should be more eligible

remember megafaunas? well whats to say they don’t go extinct. and until now their alive. no matter what you believe in, the past had healthy atmosphere. you can say that by looking at it now, we have factories. in the past we didn’t. so that says animals grew large. IF these megafauans didn’t go extinct. they must of shrunk. so if they are large now, in the past they’d be gigantic.

the small ones would be large in the past, the large would be gigantic in the past, so Bigfoot now, would of been the real king kong in the past. literally.
you find a 30ft Reptile. and if it’s 30ft now…. it would of been godzilla sized in the past.

so my point is this may be a large bat instead of a moth!!!!!
and a mothman would be strange if it’s related to moths? so somehow moths breeded with other moths that caused the babies to form legs? unless mothmans are the ancestors of moths? Large bats i think are common now… i say this cause i remember reading large bats in africa, mexicto (above), i think malaysia? and Png????
