e rence to a dead dog struck him. Bandit was n e ver seen again. Other witnesses reported seeing “Mothman,” as the press soon dubbed it, in the TNT area and elsewhere. Sightings continued from time to time for months afterward. Reports consistently described a gray entity larger than a man, who was headless and had wings, legs, and glowing red eyes on its upper chest. When in flight, its wings did not flap. When it walked, it had a shambling gait. Observers seemed especially terrified of the eyes. Because of the witnesses’ manifest sincerity and terror, no one argued that the sightings were hoaxes. The most popular conventional explanations held that they had seen owls or sandhill cranes. The episode became the subject of two books. In May 1976, nearly a decade after the s c a re had run its course, re p re s e n t a t i ves of the Ohio UFO In vestigators League looked up some of the witnesses. All stuck by their original testimony and insisted that they had not mistaken ord i n a ry birds for Mothman. T h e most curious testimony came from early witness Linda Scarberry (wife of Roger Scarb e r ry), who said that she and her husband had seen the cre a t u re “hundreds of times,” one from as close as three or four feet. Sh e went on, It seems like it doesn’t want to hurt you. It just wants to communicate with you. But you’re too afraid when you see it to do anything. . . . We rented an apartment down on Thirteenth Street, and the bedroom window was right off the roof. It was sitting on the roof one night, looking in the window, and by then I was so used to seeing it that I just pulled the blinds and went on. I felt kind of sorry for it [because] it gives you the feeling like it was sitting there wishing it could come in and get warm because it was cold out that night. (Raynes, 1976) A Mothmanlike cre a t u re was also invo l ve d in a close encounter of the third kind fro m Sandling Pa rk, near Hyde, Kent, England, on November 16, 1963. That evening a group of Mount Lassen 179 young people saw a glowing oval, some fif t e e n to twenty feet in diameter, hovering over a field. A few seconds after the UFO disapp e a red behind a clump of trees, witness Jo h n Flaxton related, “a dark fig u re shambled out. It was all black, about the size of a human but without a head. It seemed to have wings like a bat on either side and came stumbling tow a rd s us. We didn’t wait to inve s t i g a t e” (“The Sa l twood My s t e ry,” 1964). This is the only know n re p o rt to link such a cre a t u re with a UFO. Whatever Mothman may or may not have been, no encounters with it have been reported in recent years.

Mount Lassen Mount Lassen, in California’s Tehama County, houses good and evil beings who live deep inside caves and engage in conflict with advanced weapons, according to the testimony of a man identified as Ralph B. Fi e l d s . At some unspecified time, apparently, in the latter twentieth century, Fields and a companion named Joe (no last name offered) went to the mountain in search of guano (bat dung), which they hoped to market as fertilizer. On their first night, the two slept at the foot of the mountain. By the third day, they were nearing the mountaintop when they decided to make camp and prepare a meal. Joe went off to collect dead scrub bush for the fire. Suddenly, he returned in a state of high excitement. He had found a big cave nearby, and it looked like a promising place to search for the object of their quest.

Once they got twenty feet into it, the walls expanded to ten feet wide and eight feet high. They could see a hundred yards ahead to a point where the wall bent. They followed the bend off to the left and down, and they kept going until suddenly, realizing how far they were from the surface,
