Chip Coffey on Mothman and a Strange Pull

(cross posted at my blog Orange Orb Tarot)

A few years ago, television's Paranormal State aired a Mothman episode. Medium Chip Coffey was a part of that investigation. One moment in that episode I found very interesting; just before Coffey uttered his comments on what he thought Mothman was, I felt a weird electrical feeling. I also knew what Coffey was going to say; that Mothman was an intelligence, a true and non-human presence.

The other night Coffey was on Coast to Coast, and when asked what he thought was his strangest paranormal experience, he said it during the Paranormal State Mothman episode. That he felt Mothman was "superior." Not negative, or evil, just "superior." Very interesting word to describe this entity.

Which suggests to me that, one, Mothman is not human. Nor a barn owl. (The popular debunk theory to explain away Mothman.) Quite obviously an "other" and paranormal, or more accurately, supernatural entity.

I myself have never seen Mothman or been to Pt. Pleasant. But like so many unexplained and mysterious things, I have not only a fascination, but sometimes, as the case with Mothman, some type of pull, something that calls and tugs between me and it. A sort of anomalous mediumship or communication.

hidden experience: audio conversation with Andy Colvin (with a focus on John Keel)

Mothy author Andy Colvin is interviewed by Mike Clelland of hidden experience. I haven't listened to it yet but am looking forward to it of course! The interview was done a year ago:

hidden experience: audio conversation with Andy Colvin (with a focus on John Keel): This interview was recorded over a year ago. I am embarrassed to say that it just sat on my computer until today. Right after we recorded it, some life stuff came up, and I lost track of it.

This conversation was to promote the book Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind, a collection of magazine articles and lectures by, John Keel, the man many consider to be not only the 20th Century’s premiere Fortean investigator. ~ Mike Clelland, hidden experience

but no matter. Still promises to be interesting as all get out.

Allright, so not really. Awfully cute, isn't it?

I don't have a source for this image; no artist name or link, etc. If any readers know where this came from I'd appreciate it if you let me know. It's a great image -- very disturbing, in an interestingly cool way. (Also on my UFO Mary blog, for obvious reasons.)
