Mothman after 1967?

[spiderdan223]

Mothman sightings were primarily within the time period of Nov. 12th 1966 to Dec 15th 1967, in W. Virginia.

Were there sightings after this time? I was wondering if after the Keel book was popularized years later, if there were any more instances of sightings? Or has there been a genuine absence of encounters ever since?

These would be different from dreamlike encounters or premonitions of the future.

Let me Google that for you:

Haha. Thanks.

Nothing more than hysteria.  No sightings because mothman isn't real.

[spiderdan223]

Yeah, I suppose I'm more interested in it as folklore, than whether it is real or not. I was curious if the hype from the specific Keel book influenced the spreading of more sighting stories. Or if there were any other times when there was a mass of sightings outside of the '60's ones. The wiki timeline does have a lot of info, of which I'm newly appreciative.

There have been a splattering of reports across most of the u.s. from what I recall, of Mothman like creatures. However they always seem to be one off sightings. Like lizard-men, frogman, and all the other animal / man hybrids that seemingly are spotted once and never seen again

Thanks. I appreciate your input.

There were quite a few mothman reports from Chicago this year and before.

Can't say if this is the same as the WV reports. There should be a mothman podcast if you look up skeptics monster talk.

These are interesting links. I didn't know about the recent Chicago Sightings until now. The monstertalk podcast is a useful tool.

Also the 'Phantoms and Monsters' site has a listing of those sightings.
