Mothman - General Thoughts

"Investigation of the bridge wreckage pointed to the failure of a single eye-bar in a suspension chain due to a small manufacturing flaw." - Wikipedia Article

For the want of a nail? Something to think about.

Another thought. The movie seems to hit most of the pertinent points of the legend, and even if they're a little warped, they're all based in truth. So what's with the mention of Mothman being sighted in Galveston before the 1900 Storm? I've never heard of that. On the other hand, I have heard of the Gray Man being seen at the time - and he pops up in North Carolina (the Grand Banks region) in all sorts of books. I wish I knew the years on those. Is there a connection? That would almost make more sense than the Mothman-UFO thing, anyway.

Something else. Some of these descriptions - fuzzy and outdated and re-worded as they are - do sound vaguely like Bigfoot descriptions. Now, is that just because big tall dark things in the night all look the same, or could some of the Mothman sightings be our fuzzy friend? I'm pretty darned sure he hangs out in that area a lot. On the other hand, Bigfoot is easily confused with bears - at least at night - and bears and the Mothman could also be interchangeable. Tall, dark, strangely shaped but humanoid, glowing red eyes. Not so sure about the red eyes on bears, though. And speaking of tall things with glowing red eyes - any relation to the Uvalde sighting? What the hell was that, anyway? Damn my youth!
