June 2007, Mothman Spotted at Derelict Garden Festival
... Natural Habitation under Threat from Redevelopment,
Liverpool, England.
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.

Case.

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”.

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'.

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 Liverpool Weblog, 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!!!

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.
For
more information on the research of Moth Man, go to:
The
enigma of Moth Man has been seen creeping around the roof tops
of Liverpool city centre. An idiosyncratic creature asserted
to be created by Tony Knox. However, this rare spectacle of
moth-come-man was captured on camera by Tim Brunsden, Artist
and Archivist, from Liverpool Stories (liverpoolstories.blogspot.com).

September 2006, Manchester Evening News, England.
Today
on 1st september 2006 a group of people congregated on Bold
Street. Mutterings and explications of amazement at something
strange witnessed.
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 …..

August 2006, Liverpool Daily Post, England.
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.
