Fiction? Really?
The legend of the Mothman goes way back. I’m not a historian, unfortunately, so that’s as accurate as I’m going to be, but the fact is that the film The Mothman Prophecies (which is an awful waste of time I wish I could erase from my brain, featuring Richard Gere in a role that takes some influence from a real story that allegedly happened) is not wholly fiction. Reports of a strange man-sized flying bird (body, that is, with enormous wings bigger than any other bird) have happened for centuries, all over the world. And these are not reports that should be discarded without research: many people at one time have seen something dark and enormous moving across the night sky.
The confusion comes when you compare the Mothman with the Thunderbird. Both are similar in physical description, but very different in legend: while the Mothman is said to be a strange half man half demon creature that can read minds and predict the future with worrying accuracy, the Thunderbird is thought to be a long extinct bird of prey, or even just a very large Andean Condor or Wandering Albatross.
It’s safe to say that there is more truth to be found in the Thunderbird theory: not that far-fetched when you consider other recent findings which have revealed the existence of animals we thought to be long dead.
Whatever the case, both stories are fascinating (and a good release for me from looking at carte r4i cards, which is all I seem to do some days).
