Jesco White discusses tattoos & Mothman

Dancing Outlaw Jesco Whites talks with Cuzn Wildweed about his tattoos and the Mothman. Jesco later got a snazzy new backpiece tattoo courtesy of his new movie, "The Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia", but instead of the Mothman, it was a double mural of Elvis & Charles Manson. He really likes it.

[@Nadeshiroo]

I live in East Tennessee I love these people they are just like my family. I don’t know why people put us country people down. I’ve been through West Virginia a lot people are just as nice as can be. Keep on with the story’s I love them.

[@beanheadr]

I’ve been through this town and other parts of West Virginia. Just down to earth real people. Everyone judges them but they don’t judge anyone.

[@jamallabarge2665]

Depends upon what you're doing. If they think that you're out of line they are not shy about telling you about it.

[@MrsHall38]

My whole family is from Point Pleasant, W.V... All along the river from OH to W.V... They all believed in the Mothman... My great uncle was on the Silver Bridge when it collapsed.. Luckily he made it off....

[@jolynnb70]

He kept saying that the bridge collapsed after the movie, I couldn't really understand what he was saying about it. But for one, it wasn't the Point Pleasant Bridge it was the Silver Bridge, and it collapsed in 1967. My Aunt who lives in Point Pleasant, was in the traffic getting ready to get on the bridge, but she got tired of sitting there so she turned a around, even had some guy honk at her. Well as she was driving away, she heard the crash, and watched it collapse into the River.

[@anthonypeck2097]

She is blessed

[@kevinjohnson7300]

He could play Jim Jones the cult leader very well its scary

[@jamallabarge2665]

Standing in front of the public library (see 0:27). He needs to mosey on in there and learn something. Lot of us won't get tattoos. The Book says not to mark one's own body. Charles Manson was raised up in the northern panhandle. Near McMechen. Acquaintances of mine said, "There was nothing in his eyes, they were empty". They added that "He could talk you into doing anything". That's what I heard, never met him. I was a little kid when he went to prison. Kind of ironic that Manson was burned by a Hare Krishna. Native "white" West Virginians and the Hare Krishnas have had a troubled relationship for some time. The Krishnas worked hard, harder than the locals.
