The David Grabias documentary Search For The Mothman – at least nine minutes of it – that is contained in the Deluxe Special Edition of The Mothman Prophecies has just appeared on YouTube. Here is the video below. You will note, especially if you watch the entire documentary, that John A. Keel and I are the two major Mothman historians appearing throughout. (I don’t like the word “expert” much, or “talking head,” but then, I’ve been called worse.) More importantly, I find the full-length documentary worthwhile because it contains archival footage from the time of the sightings and collapse of [...]
Editor Says: “Towns…Make Fortunes Selling Bigfoot”
People get the craziest ideas in their heads about all of the money supposedly flowing from “selling” Bigfoot and other cryptozoological monsters. What might be the source of such thoughts? Well, that would be the general media, of course. Take Dwain Walden, who is the editor/publisher of The Moultrie Observer, in Moultrie, Georgia. Apparently bored with the usual fare to write about, and obviously not coming up with any Father’s Day themes to his liking, this editor takes on Bigfoot. In a column for Sunday, June 17, 2007, Walden has a giggle at the expense of the “folks of Rock [...]
Mothman Tour Cancelled; Take Photo Quiz
The company, Haunted Heartland Tours, has cancelled their Mothman Prophecy Tour, scheduled for June 9-10, 2007. No reason is given for the cancellation. Perhaps there were not enough registrations? Or, hopefully, there’s not a sinister event behind the cancellation. Of course, since it was a “prophecy” event, they must have known this was going to happen. A new date will be set for 2008 late this year. Here is what was promised for the tour: See the site of the tragic Silver Bridge collapse Venture into the remote wilderness area where Mothman was 1st seen. We will venture here at [...]
Mothman’s Eyes: What Color?
Bill Rebsamen’s illustration completed for me in 2001, for use on the cover of my Mothman book. Does it matter what color the eyes of a more stylized imaging of Mothman appears in graphic art? Two color drawings of “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” arrived overnight from Len Peralta. What version of Mothman‘s eyes do you like? For a look at the black and white initial example of Len Peralta’ art again, go to ” Cryptozoo by Mail”. Should illustrative, graphic, and comic art stay close to the original descriptions of cryptids, or can it be appreciated as a form and extension of [...]
Cryptozoo by Mail
Ever wanted your own personalized cryptid? Well, for twenty bucks you can have your idea envisioned by an artist who quickly draws your desire, via Monster by Mail. (See more ordering info at the bottom of this posting.) Thanks to Rogier van Bakel, I heard about this artist, Len Peralta who is in the midst of drawing a very limited number (150) of “Cryptozoo” cryptids. Getting in contact with Len, I challenged the artist to do an original hand-drawn sample of his specially imagined “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” with a Yeti, Nessie, Bigfoot, Mothman, and Dover Demon, and email me the result. [...]
