Breaking News: Mothman Does NOT 'Love Lamp'
Ya’ll. We’ve been lied to. All those cute lil’ images of Mothman and his obsession with lamps, found in cartoons, memes, stickers, and even festival cosplay are unfounded. According to a newspaper article appearing in the Charleston Daily Mail on November 17, 1966, just a day after the Scarberry/Mallett sighting—-Mothman HATED any sort of lights! This rather, ‘un-mothy’ behavior, may not make sense at first, until you realize that witnesses and locals alike did not initially refer to the iconic creature as Mothman. They called it the Bird, or the Big Bird. It wasn’t until a few days later that a newspaper reported dubbed the being ‘Mothman.’ Here’s a transcript of the article:
NIGHT RIDER IN SKY AFRAID OF LIGHTS
People in Mason County are talking about a flying man who is afraid of lights.
He is a 6-foot creature with a wingspan of 10 feet and can scoot along at 100 miles per hour.
Wednesday about midnight the gray and white replacement to mundane flying saucers startled two young couples driving north of Point. Pleasant on W.Va. 62, they said.
Once they spotted it, they headed for town at 100 miles an hour and along came their weird airborne friend, breezing about 50 feet above them with the greatest of ease, they told police.
But once they neared the lighted confines of the town, the high horsepowered night rider in the sky veered around and took off toward the dark and less populous countryside—the two couples told police.
