Nemo, A.K.A. Mothy

Our net cat, Nemo, has many nicknames. (People who love their animal friends know that their furry friends have many names.) So Nemo is Nemo, and many other names I won't bore you with. But one nickname out of many is "Mothy." That's because Nemo is gray and white, with a gray tail, except for a flick of white at the tip. When the lighting is just right -- rather dim -- and you're unaware Nemo is about with tail held high, his white tip is all you see out of the corner of your eye. Like a moth thrumming through the living room. So we dubbed him "Mothy" and here are some photos:

Nemo, aka as Mothy. Hard to tell but the white tip is there.



Mysterious blur, is it Mothman?

David Weatherly: Mothman in Russia

From David Weatherly, writing on Russia's Mothman. As Weatherly and others, including John Keel, have written, Mothman - or at least, a Mothman like creature -- has been seen all over the world.



David Weatherly: Mothman in Russia: But in the years since the Point Pleasant tragedy, this strange, winged creature has been reported in other locations around the world, often it seems, just prior to a disaster. These include rumors of Mothman sightings prior to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the 911 terrorist attacks and the Chernobyl power plant meltdown.

Many of these reports come in after the fact, but one terrorist incident in Russia was predicted by Mothman sightings before it occurred. (Weatherly; Two Crows Paranormal)

A 1934 Mothman Episode?

Lon Strickler shares a report he received a couple of years ago about a possible Mothman sighting and omen, and the disaster following the sighting. Here's a bit; you can read the entire thing at Lon's Phantoms and Monsters blog:

Phantoms and Monsters: Pulse of the Paranormal: "The strange incident took place near Powellton, WV in December 1934 - I was 8 years old. At the time, my father worked for Elkhorn-Piney Coal in McDunn. He and the other miners would take a train to the mine each day.

The day before Christmas Eve my father mentioned an unusual sighting he and the others on the train had while traveling back to Powellton from the mine that evening. As they looked out towards the east they noticed a very large bird flying above the trees. My father was a very simple man and didn't believe in any nonsense but this large bird really caught his attention. He described it as a freakish sized owl very dark in color. The sky was getting dark but they could still make out the large form. He said it also looked at the train as it flew over the trees. Nobody on the train could figure out what it was. The mere fact that my father even mentioned it suggested that it must have been an unusual sight."
