The theory that an owl being confused for mothman is even more credible when you look at a picture of an owl folding it's wings. The drawings show the eyes below the tops of the wings and where the torso of a human would be, along with how tiny the wings look. An owl folding it's wings perfectly fits the descriptions and the drawings.

It's a rather pathetic way of trying to erase the story. A bit like the ufo swamp gas thing. In fact for the longest time I had similarly sceptical ppl telling me ufos don't exist. Well i think the air force and their videos have settled that issue once and for all. It can't be denied any longer that ufos exist. It's just a pity more ppl didn't just take countless eye witnesses at their word. Just like with this mothman thing.

If you've ever come upon an owl while driving down a lonely, winding country road, they can appear GIGANTIC and absolutely terrifying. When I was a kid, we were driving home late one night and a Great Horned Owl flew out of the woods right in front of the car. It looked bigger than our '69 Pontiac station wagon - no lie. My mom screamed, she was so scared. I can see how someone driving up on a Snowy Owl late one night would freak out and think it was some sort of "monster".

Mothman is one of my favorite Cryptids. That being said, I think it's complete bunk. The lore is extremely spooky and interesting though, and it makes awesome fiction. I agree that it's likely owls. I remember when I was young and had my first car, a volkswagon beetle, I was driving at night and an owl swooped down and flew right along the contour of my car, front to back. For a second there all I could see what red dots coming at me, then for a split second it's wingspan completely covered the entire width of my windshield. Scared the living wits out of me. I can easily see how something like that could be mistaken for something a little more exotic.

Guys, we need a proper name for this series. My vote's on "cryptozoolograph," the written record for hidden animals. Also, you should totally do a thing like in Cryptozoologicon, where after debunking the animal you say, "but if it *did* exist, it's biology and evolutionary history would be something like this," and then you create a ridiculous but still more plausible creature. OR, if you're super cool, you could have like a contest where your viewers create one of those creatures, and then on the next episode you give a shout-out to the one you liked the most. Sorry, I may be getting over-excited, but cryptids are one of my favorite subjects.
@TheBasikShow8 жыл бұрын
Ridiculous-but-still-more-plausible creature suggestion: The Mothman is a highly evolved species of owl which feeds mainly on other species of owl. Standing at an average of about 1 meter high, it is entirely nocturnal, and spends the day in dense patches of trees, camouflaged in with pigment that ranges from white to dark grey. Because of its large size, it must rear its young at the bases of trees instead of at higher branches, preferably near rivers. The Mothman is considered to be relatively intelligent, and it is the only known bird to have a "funeral ritual". When a fellow Mothman dies, the Mothmen ritualistically throw its body into a nearby river, thus accounting for the fact that no Mothman remains have survived for study. Their behaviour also includes a cooperative nesting, wherein groups of parents will raise their chicks together, in order to be more efficient at bringing home food. Its nests are always well-camouflaged to deter attackers. Another interesting attribute of the Mothman is that its wing feathers extend entirely down its body, in a way similar to bats. This causes the extra lift necessary to hold up such a large creature in flight. Civilians sighting the Mothman are generally not aware of these wing extensions, and assume them to be part of the body, causing reports to have a much larger body and smaller wingspan than is actually present. The Mothman, sadly, is probably no longer with us. By the time of its first sighting, it was already a critically endangered species, with a population of around a dozen and an adult population of approximately 4. The final nail in the Mothman's coffin was the collapse of Silver Bridge, under which a nest of several individuals was situated. Although some specimens survived the collapse, as evidenced by the removal of all members of the nest, it is not considered likely that any of the young survived. With at most a single breeding pair remaining in 1967, the Mothmen are certainly no more.

I was driving down a dirt road about 10 miles from tnt and saw a large great horned owl eating a rabbit in the middle of the road. That suddenly popping into your headlights out in the middle of nowhere definitely makes it appear much larger and more terrifying. I used to do a lot of late night catfishing in the point pleasant tnt area and I actually saw something I am unable to explain that was mentioned in the mothman prophecies book. sightings of floating glowing lights along the rivers in that area are very common and I witnessed one once while late night catfishing. I saw a tree start glowing and then a floating ball of light came out of it and slowly floated away among the trees. whole process took about ten minutes. ball of light was about two feet across, moving about twenty feet high, and moved about five mph. It was an amazing sight and I can verify that I wasn't all that drunk.

Minor correction regarding high beam head lights. 14:30 They were invented long before 1966. High/low beam lights were introduced for automobiles in 1924. By 1954, Cadillac introduced the first auto controlled high beam lights. I used to drive a 1950 Chevrolet and it most assuredly had a foot switch to control the high beam lights, which were standard well before 1950.

When tempered with the knowledge that you are probably running after nothing the study isn't so bad. It's more like reality assurance.

I dunno man. My Grandpa thinks that Bigfoot is real. He and G-ma live in the forest, and he just hinted at it, like it was no big deal. I believe this dude. In my views? Either it's incredibly smart, like "beam me up, scotty." level of smart, a demon from some Judeo-christian myth, a HUGE hairy crazy dude, a really really rare giant monkey, a giant monkey ghost, or a hallucination. Grandpa's only drug is Jesus, and even then he takes him in moderation compared to others who share his faith at the state he lives at. His mind is sharp, seriously calm, incredibly dry humored and mannered, and doesn't take himself or life too seriously. Alright, Gramps might not have seen Bigfoot, but there was this mundanity to the subject of conversation and reluctance to tell me what he went through. Reluctance isn't the best word here, but I got nothin else, more like disbelief in what was coming out of his mouth. He saw something weird.

I think people dont realize how small 10 feet is when it comes to flying animals. I had a couple white pelicans fly over me at work today. They have 10 foot wingspans and they're no where near 6 feet tall. Also funny how everything that walks upright is 8 to 10 feet tall. People see something have no frame of reference for the height and when asked say "uhhhh what's a big human seven feet okay it was definitely bigger than that I'll say 8 to 10 feet"

If the Flatwoods Monster and Mothman were just Owls, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bigfoot is just a MONKE

Let me just say that I genuinely do empathize and sympathize with the teens in the original sighting. Kudos to them for actually returning to the scene to make sure they actually saw it! I really like Mothman as a cryptid. I know that most cryptids are unlikely to exist (although canine Chupocabra intruiges me), but Mothman is just a fun design!

Forgetting everything about height (in the dark while driving your depth perception is different), every characteristic of the mothman could be attributed to an owl

I terrified my friends by putting shapes outside there house and near midnight (I was staying at their house that night). They got terrified because there was a creature outside. It was just pereyedolea or however you spell it. Basically it is when your brain can’t tell what something is so it makes a pattern from something you barely see so it looks like something creepy. Their reactions were hilarious!

On the wingspan... I don't disagree with you on any point. Rock solid. I would like to add that unless a person uses measurements on a daily basis, judging size, especially at night, is nearly impossible. The claim of a ten foot wingspan is probably a gross miscalculation brought on by misjudged distance and leading questions by investigators.
