Is He Sending Us Another Dire Warning?

In 1967, the mysterious Mothman was seen flitting about the Point Pleasant, WV, area just before the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River collapsed, killing 46 people.

After the collapse, the Mothman sightings ceased. Some believed the Mothman came to warn about the tragic disaster. (Richard Gere starred in the recent "Mothman Prophecies," currently out on video.)

Now, the Mothman has been spotted again, flitting about coalfield bridges that are groaning under the weight of overloaded coal trucks. Fortunately, OVEC member Patty Draus was in the right place at the right time to capture these recent visitations.

Is the Mothman trying to send another warning?

Is Mothman trying to warn coalfield residents about who may be next? The mystery in the coal fields deepens ...

Even empty, coal trucks weigh 40,000 to 50,000 pounds. This is a full truck (above) which grossly exceeds the clearly posted 12 ton weight limit in Stollings, WV. Overweight coal trucks carrying mountaintop-removed coal inflict exceedingly costly damages to our bridges and roads. Please call, e-mail or write your state legislators today to help stop this.
