Paphos the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, has so defined Cyprus as a place that combines history, culture and legend. With 11,000 years of long history, this land has experienced civilizations to come and go, from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra.

Paphos new mysteries are afoot and here is the evidence, the lone figure of the mothman captured by holiday makers in search of spiritual awaking, they where overwhelmed to see the mothman they always thought is was a hoax

‘It Just stood there glistening in the light then it moved with such speed as though it was vibrating then I felt a chill all around me then it started to thunder and the figure was gone ”
Peter Jarman age 35.
This is the first sighting and report of the mothman since late November 2007 from the Liverpool garden festival.

An unexpected guest turned up at The MA Fine Art Show 2007 at the University of Central Lancashire, Mothman was there in his full glory he grabed a perspective box in protest to the images of him taken by various members of the public Tony Knox managed to track down the images of mothman, from the heart of Edinburgh to the streets of Koln. Antics captured by the pyramids in Egypt to the idiosyncratic battles of Mothman versus the Funkadelic Chicken and more. Mothman stood on a wooden bench with the illumination of a bright light from below. In his golden lycra attire, mesh wings and antenna protruding he places on his head a Perspex box. A crowd gathered and where under the impression that this was live art intervention, as the wings moved out of sink with time there was gaps then with a the Perspex box crashed to the floor

then mothman was gone. There was even a arcade machine based on mothman and the misunderstood Nuttall was done in collaboration with Knox and Charles Nuttall.and present them in his MA show. A review was wrote about mothman protest under the illushion that is was art “ The piece was titled ‘Moth in a Box’. Review by Victoria Samantha Smith The idea of the canon is the categorisation of what the hero portends and determined by the institutionalised and philosophical parameters. These boundaries the alter ego of the pseudo contemporary hero and in this live art attempts to liberate itself. Hence, the ‘Moth in the Box’ unnervingly manoeuvres it’s head within the confines of the space surrounding its head. pieces.The surreal and strange repetitious movements concludes to the point of struggle in the box crashing down to the floor and shattering into ‘Mothman’ has developed into an extensive inquiry of the hero and addressed in range of media. The work is extraordinary and entices the curiosities of the viewer.

I thought I would take a break from the monotony of computer work and ventured along Aigburth Road. I cut through towards St Michaels and entered the small coppice. I came out by a road and traffic lights and looked across.

I could see the arches of corroded gates that once lead in the internationally acclaimed Garden Festival site. It is now derelict and abandoned some years ago with much of the surrounding lands that formed this horticultural place to property dealers to build housing and alike. I waited for the little green man to appear and I walked towards the gates. I noticed on the left, part of the fence was curled back and opened.Curiosity got the better of me and I awkwardly bent under the opening and caught my sleeve on a piece of wire protruding. I released myself and looked down were the ground had worn thin by people who had entered before me over time. I followed the exposed earth and came out to an area where the Japanese temples sat in the distance on the other side of a watered area. The temples I had read were a gift from Japan to the Garden Festival, but the wooden layered arches that curled to the corners now rotten. The perimeter of each walled by local authority boards and covered in graffiti. I crossed over a small bridge, equally disintegrated, and stepped precariously.

Battersea Power Station has been crumbling away since shutting more then 20 years ago, but its landmark four chimneys still enjoy iconic status. Built in 1933, the Grade II listed structure now faces a new future at the centre of a large shopping, leisure, conference and accommodation complex, due to open in 2009 there has been a steadily accelerating sighting of MothMan why it is on the move again?

These sighting came to my attention when a research / photographer on the MothMan, Gareth Delay contacted me up he had collected reports that a golden figure was roaming about Battersea power station, additional security was called in to manage the site. The 'A' side of the power station was mothballed in 1975, with electricity production ceasing altogether in 1983.

It has believed there has been sighting of the MothMan around the power station since 1995. The power station was built in two stages, with the first section - Battersea 'A' - reflecting the art deco styling of the 1930s, as in the turbine hall with its Italian white marble wall tiles. This turbine hall and its 1950s 'B' counterpart are located either side of the giant roofless boiler house, at the corners of which stand the four chimneys. Plans to turn the site into a theme park eventually collapsed when structural problems were found, and the site was bought by the current developers in 1993.

Warning sign

The derelict, abandoned atmosphere around much of the building is contrasted in some places with stark reminders of the work that once went on there, but mysteries of why MothMan resent sighting became of common on the eve of the change of government. There are believed sighting of MothMan near the gates of no 10 downing street.

This was a High Profile publicity stunt to unmask the Mothman, But sources say this was not the real mothman but the comedian Harry Hill how is a Big Fan and wants to track him down...

The strange creature known as Mothman has been spotted in the derelict Garden Festival, Liverpool, England. An avid Environmentalist who has been studying the natural wildlife there has said he believes this secluded area, abondoned since 1984, as one of the worlds first and largest horticultural festivals, was Mothman's layer and sanctuary from the prying of modern life. Now this site is under threat from redevelopment and the creature has been disturbed.

Private Investigation of the Infamous ... Flame Case.
Written by J. D. Graham
Friday 27 May 2007

It was typically an uneventful day. I had followed a lead around China Town that lead nowhere. I tried to speak to the graffiti artists around this part of the city to see if there had been any sightings of Mothman. Someone told me a graffiti artists had done an image of the butterfly. I went and searched, but could not find it, nor any of the artist. I later found out they had been arrested for spray painting the city.

The past few days, I had been receiving postcards from Greece. I thought they were delivered to the wrong address, they were still filed in my in tray. Each card addressed to Miss Papillion, using the office address, contained seemingly silly greetings, so I ignored them. Messages like: “Guess who? … It’s me! … Be seeing you soon!”

I had assumed that they were sent to a loved one and addressed here by mistake, as the office I worked out of also had flats about the building.

Another one had arrived and it seemed just like the others, at first anyway. I picked up the card it was from Rhodes in Greece. There was no message on the card. I picked up all the other cards from my in-tray and examined them. All from Rhodes, Greece. I read over the messages again: “Guess who? … It’s me! … Be seeing you soon!”

I then looked at the blank one. I wondered whether this was an invitation or tip off for the Mothman.

I found a place in Rhodes known as Valley of the Butterflies – known as Petaludes. Jenny told me that Papillion was a film that Steve McQueen was in and it meant butterfly, Miss Papillion or Miss Butterfly was this some kind of coincidence or joke?

I spent the rest of the day checking if a Miss Papillion existed. I soon found she didn’t and on a hunch asked Jenny to book a flight to Rhodes for me. Maybe this Valley of the Butterflies was his birth place!!?

An Art Historian was out walking his dog near Sefton Park and noticed something strange amongest the blue haze of the bluebells.His dog ran over to investigate and the man pursue cautiously.

As they draw closer, they noticed a strange gold form almost concealed in the flora. The man exclaimed: “It lay motionless, resting so still, I thought it was dead and reminded me of ‘Ophelia’, the painting by John Everett Millais done in 1852 … However, as I got near it moved and a large wing rouse up. It then arose and flew away. I have never seen the likes of it before”. If you are aware of any other sightings of Mothmane mail me, Tony Knox, the Mothman Researcher at tonyknox99@hotmail.com.

Private Investigation of the Infamous ... Flame Case.

Friday 27 April 2007

Friday Afternoon 3pm ...

It was a hazy Friday afternoon, no different from the day before. It had been an uneventful week. Jenny, the Secretary, had finished filing her nails and asked could she leave early. She was going away for the weekend. Outside, the river looked still. The tourists were out and the office workers were leaving work early to catch the early Spring sun. I was just about to leave myself, that was when she rang.

"This is a big one. I hope you weren't about to leave?"

I sullenly looked around me. She always got me like this. When she calls, I don't know where she calls from. I have never met her and I don't really care. It pays the bills. She comes on the phone. Gives me her instructions. Pays her bill. Job done. That's how it works. I can't help, but think whether she has cameras installed in this place though. It was always like this. This was how it always started. "I need the Flame case re-opened?".

Jeez, the Flame case. The last time we met I ended up taking an early afternoon swim I hadn't planned on. The strange thing is that our encounter wasn't violent. Surreal, sure. Violent, no.

Who is this Mothman? Furthermore, what does she want from the man in tights?

Why is it important to find him? And to capture him on film - to catch him in some strange enactment and report back to her. I walk into the back room on look through the files stacked on the shelves ... C, D, E ...L, M ... Manchester Insurance ... Masked Man ... Minature ... Mothman! I take the file back into the office. Sit Down. I trace my finger across front of the cover Mothman Files. In red I write 'Re-opened'.

28 April 2007.

A report has come in from Cologne, Germany. A creature fitting the description of ‘Mothman’ was seen frantically flying around the court yard of Arts Centre. It was stated by an onlooker: “ Das Geschöpf schien auf dem Bild einer Pyramide fixiert”. (Translation: “The creature seemed fixated on the image of a pyramid”). This was a graffiti painting of a pyramic on the court yard wall.

EARLIER SIGHTING OF MOTHMAN REPORTED BY IAN JACKSON

Ian Jackson, the Editor of art in iLiverpool, through his extensive research of cultural events in the Liverpool has uncovered from his earlier archives a digital video recording of MOTHMAN. He presumed this creature was a real wrestler at the GPW Wrestling Platform at Jump Ship Rat Gallery (Liverpool, England), which was part of the Transvoyeur Programme 2004.

However, after he perused this website (www.mothman.org.uk) and myself as the researcher investigating the enigma of this creature, Jackson realised it was not a 'man' wrestling, but something other.

Jackson has kindly provided his documentation from his archives to prove to the world 'he' is not a figment of my imagination, but exist.

Spring is HERE and so is MOTHMAN!!!
Report/Photographs by Tony Knox and Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney.

Spring is in the air! About time too …

This weekend Tony Knox and Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney from Transvoyeur were in Sefton Park appreciating the wonderful fine weather.Knox who is a researcher in the enigma of Moth Man in his creative practice was astounded to actually find the creature in the park.Some people assume Moth Man is Knox, due his ever increasing interest with this man-come-moth fixation.

Knox had his camera with him and Sweeney and him pursued the creature, peering from behind trees.Moth Man was seen frolicking in the daffodils. From the mass of research Knox has done, it is thought this open demonstration by the strange ‘being’ is due to the season of spring and he is looking for a mate …

Previous reporting had Moth Man as living in the derelict Garden Festival area. However, he has been seen further a field and it is assumed due to recent felling of trees in this area, the creature has been disturbed.

A female shopper said “It was there one minute and gone the next!”
The young boy added, “I was scared … it frightened me!” The young boy looked up at his grandfather for re-assurance and asked “What was it granddad?”

In the crowd was an old man and boy. A grandfather who was treating his grandson to a day out in the city centre. ‘My eyes are not what they used to be, but I definitely saw something and heard something’, stated the old man, “It was quick and gone in a flash!”
added The local shops on Bold Street were questioned at this phenomena. In ever shop, a member of staff commented they had too seen something on different days and seemed to have started a week prior with sighting reported of this ‘creature’.

If you have experienced something of this strange incarnation seen on Bold Street or in the locale, please email …..

A car in Bold Street nearly hit an old lady, but a strange manifestation appeared in the split of second and moved her quickly out the way.  An onlooker stated, “I am so amazed! This figure came from nowhere! She would certainly have been hurt by the car and I dread to think what could have happened!”

The old lady stated, “I lost my footing … you see I have a hip problem”. She rubs her hip and pushes out to show. “I am due to go into hospital … this creature flew in from nowhere. I was astounded, a little frightened, but they caught me, as I fell forward. Lifted me gently to the pavement”.

The bystander and the old lady were asked to describe what they had seen.

“It was so quick, I only saw a flash of gold light. I think, not too sure, but it seemed to have wings”, said the bystander.“Maybe it was a gold sephiran!” added the old lady.
