It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Mothman! Well, we're pretty sure
"Mothman" isn't any of those things, neither a moth nor a man, or
some unholy combination of the two. If the descriptions by over
100 witnesses are accurate and the symptoms of seeing such a
sight are related, then whatever this creature is, it's abilities
may go beyond even what is considered possible for an earthly
cryptid. Magical flight, a burning, mesmerizing gaze, and
haunting dreams are some of his reported traits, but is
clairvoyance also one of them? What if Mothman knew your fate,
but wasn't capable or allowed to tell you? And for an even bigger
stretch of the imagination, what if Scott goes "off the chain" in
this episode? Now, this may all seem like silly balderdash to
your sophisticated and skeptical nature, but what kind of hosts
would we be if we couldn't deliver a tale of a real monster in
time for Samhain? After all, it is Halloween.
Tonight's Quote:
“UFO’s do not seem to exist as tangible, manufactured objects.
They do not conform to the accepted natural laws of our
environment. They seem to be nothing more than
transmogrifications tailoring themselves to our ability to
understand."
— John A. Keel, author of The Mothman Prophecies
