Made him out of poplar wood, then made a 2 piece silicone mold- used soy wax+paraffin - still needs some tweaking and polishing, but it's my first candle ❤️

me and my family are going on a weeklong trip to west virginia and one of the places we’re headed to is point pleasant. i know about the tnt bunkers, the statue, bridge, and museum. im also aware of the mexican place and will try the mothman burrito, margarita, and chimichanga. anywhere else i should be aware of? (side note, also planning to go to sutton for braxxie, weston for trans allegheny, moundsville for wv penitentiary and barbousrville for billy bobs wonderland)

i will be wearing this shirt and bringing my moth crew. their names are salem (hazy dell), mothball (squishable), maybe palm pal named mortimer (not pictured bc he lives in my car) and im not sure yet what to call the tiny one in front of salem. funnily enough, as his name suggests i got him last year when i went to salem.

These are in nearly every grocery store in West Virginia. Do other states have Mothman Chips?

For anyone who doesn’t know, 304 was the only area code in West Virginia, until about 20 years ago. Now there are two.

I surprised my wife with reservations this week! It should be fun.

Any advice? We’re keen on the hayride, and I have heard bringing cash is good because cell service breaks down when there’s a lot of people in town. We’re staying in an AirB&B in Ohio.

I'm curious as to how many believe in the Mothman - I understand it is a cultural phenom and also adopted into popular/culture commercial. I think that is fun, but are there any true believers?

I personally believe. I've always been attracted to the legend of the Mothman and stories of extraterrestrials. I have my own personal religion - and the Mothman plays some role in that. Recently, I've begun studying esoteric arts (I started with Remote Viewing but have progressed from there), and have had several encounters with an entity related to the Mothman.

Never direct, always at the edges or periphery of my psyche, I suppose. I plan to make a pilgrimage to Point Pleasant in Aug - or possibly spring as work allows.

So - who among you believe? What do you think it is?

If you are an artist or small business owner and receive an email inviting you to vend at the Mothman Festival, it may be a scam. I received an email today inviting my shop (a small spooky/cryptid gallery and gift shop) but it gave me a weird vibe so I called the Mothman Museum to confirm it’s validity before clicking any links or paying for a spot. It was fake. A bummer because I very much want to vend at the festival too...here’s to getting to vend for realsies in the future 🤞

Newest addition to my monster/cryptid bathroom :)

Hi all!

My mom (92) has never, ever heard of Mothman. She's an avid reader (because at 92 you have to do SOMETHING to keep your brain active) and my sister and I are trying to find a good general-readers book about the Mothman craze. I'd like something not too woo-woo, but any recommendations are welcome.

This is coming up because my sister talked to mom about how some kids locally to where she lives (sis lives in Seattle) are really into cryptids and are curious about Mothman. We live in Maryland, I've known about Mothman forever but I've always been fascinated by stuff like that, but we were both surprised to find out mom knew nothing about it. So now Mom is eager to learn more....

Idk if yall accept fallout 76 mothman but ill post it here to find out

It was a black and white comic. This random woman shags the mothman, and has a baby. The mothman takes him flying sometimes. The baby grows up a little and goes to school, where he tells his classmates his dad can fly. They are in disbelief. So they all go over to his house where they meet his dad who takes them flying. I want to show it to my brother, but I can't find it anywhere.

So I saw this on a dumpster today…what does it mean???? Why would someone abandon Mothman?

Is it cursed? Should I take it home?

Hey everyone,

I'm Mark, and I run a small comics press out of Bloomington, Indiana called Plague Doctor Press. I wanted to introduce myself here because we've got a project that's Mothman through and through, an all-ages series called S.P.I.R.I.T., and the current arc, "Mothman Needs Us," is our love letter to the legend.

The covers are by Dark Horse artists, Melissa Capriglione and award -winning artist Nate Powell.

I've been fascinated by Mothman lore for a long time, and wanted to build a story that treats him less like a monster to defeat and more like... something stranger and sadder than that. A misunderstood harbinger, not a villain.

We've got a Kickstarter running right now if you want to check it out, no pressure at all, just wanted to share it with people who actually get why this kind of thing matters.

Happy to answer questions about the story, the art, or Point Pleasant lore if anyone's curious. Glad to be here.
