The Mothman's Photographer III

5/5 ( ratings)

Spurred in 2001 by the realization that the 9/11 attacks were accurately predicted - in 1967 - by a friend who was seeing Mothman, Seattle artist Andrew Colvin began filming a reality series, "The Mothman's Photographer," documenting his experiences growing up in Mound, West Virginia.

"The Mothman's Photographer III" is a book of oral history based on the second half of that series, where Colvin travels afield in search of Mothman-related avatars like Thunderbird, Bigfoot, and Garuda. As the synchronicities pile up, Colvin shocks listeners to one of America's top conspiracy shows, The Grassy Knoll, by explaining that Mothman seems to have been worshipped widely in the ancient past, perhaps within the context of a single, worldwide religion. Mothman is not a demon, but an avenging angel - an archetypal protector deity sending dreams, visions, and prophecies to psychically enhanced experiencers.

By looking at the evidence found in historical texts, artwork, and philosophical and religious traditions from other countries, Colvin demonstrates that the birdman has always been one of the most revered spiritual entities, especially in times of crisis. In his interviews and encounters with experiencers, Colvin uniquely blends historical research, parapolitical theory, and spiritual wisdom to reveal valuable techniques for increasing one’s happiness, creativity, and self-knowledge.

This is the revised, indexed, and corrected second edition , featuring an insightful foreword by noted paranormal researcher Nick Redfern. The Mothman's Photographer III also includes interviews with a wide range of artists, researchers, and experiencers, including David Lynch, Walter Bowart, John Veltheim, Eugenia Macer-Story, Jim Woodring, Adam Gorightly, and Charles Manson.
