1 ) Sketch: The Mothman Meets His End by our friend and fan of the show, illustrator Stacey Rozich, ©2015. Pen on paper medium – which is the back of L.A.’s Bigfoot Lodge Trivia Night answer sheet. See her professional portfolio here: http://www.staceyrozich.com/.
Background:
Do we only see what we can understand? And if we refuse or are unable to understand, are we then not seeing all of the elements of our reality? If beings and creatures from alternate realities truly exist, then what is their origin story? What is their purpose and what are we to them, or more to the point, what do they want with us? In Part 4A of our series on the Mothman of Point Pleasant, WV, we examine some of these questions and try to find conclusions of our own, outrageous though they may seem to be.
Tonight’s Quote:
“I have adopted the concept of ‘Ultraterrestrials’ — beings and forces which coexist with us but are on another time frame; that is, they operate outside the limits of our space-time continuum yet have the ability to cross over into our reality. This other world is not a place, however, as Mars or Andromeda are places, but it is a state of energy.”
— John A. Keel, The Mothman Prophecies
