06 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.

Private Investigation of the Infamous ... Flame 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'.

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 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!!!
Report/Photographs by Tony Knox and Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney.
31 March 2007.

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.

Feedback on any sightings of Moth Man would be appreciated by Knox to help him with his research. Knox email

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 …..

30 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.
