    • @dillongage
      @dillongage 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@alanrickmanfan27agirlnotab71 I'd hardly call that stupid. Flood by the literal definition means water or other liquids. It does not mean anything else.
      All other uses of the word not pertaining to water are metaphors or similes, that liken whatever the subject matter is, to water. Ex: a flood of nuclear bombs; I will flood you with paperwork.
      You're using the common knowledge of what a flood is, to use the word flood as an adverb.
      If all someone says is "the flood is coming" or "a flood is coming" and they don't specify WHAT that flood is going to be, the only 2 options are water, or creepy zombies from Halo. That's about it. It's perfectly reasonable and logical to assume they mean water.
      If you don't mean water and you don't tell them what you mean, you're being intentionally cryptic and vague. That's not the fault of the cultists, specifically when the word flood is very rarely, if ever, used to describe bombs.
      You'd think they could use a word like downpour, or torrent, even barrage or as any sane person would do, FIRE.
      Which if you've played the Wastelanders Mothman Event, you would realize that the mothman did indeed tell them "the fire and flood" was coming, according to Charles the Forewarned.
      That makes more sense. The bombs themselves are the fire, the flood is the "flood" of radiation that rushes over the world, much like an actual flood would spread water.
      Besides, if flood doesn't have to be taken literally, then why does high ground need to be literal? If we're talking in metaphors, and "flood" means bombs, then "high ground" could mean shelter.

    Interesting note: like Ox hints at, no one initially reported or connected the Mothman to the Silver Bridge. It wasn't until about a decade later, when the Mothman Prophecies, a novel about a fictitous report's quest to find the Mothman which culminated in the reporter seeing the beast on the bridge moments before the collapse. Only then did people start claiming the connection. As such, I think the most iconic part of Mothman lore is actually the most unbelievable part.

I pulled my gun and started scanning for the enemy before I saw Mothman just sitting there on the side of the road wrapped in his wings.

He said the interloper lies in the periferal, i.e. the corner of your eyes. So what if it was the interloper who wanted them on the roof? Then after the believers of the mothman were purged, all that remained were the people drawn to the interloper?

Every band that played that night covered a song or two from the various games, and local artists showed off Fallout inspired paintings and all kinds of other neat stuff. It was still one of the most memorable nights i’ve ever experienced here and i wish you could have been a a part of it! We’re even thinking about putting on a second annual Fallout themed show soon! You’re always welcome in Morgantown anytime! Anytime i drive through the mountains on my way to work i feel like i’m a part of the universe i’ve held so close to my heart for years and years.

      That's my accepted explanation too, though the red eyeshine described in the accounts actually makes it more likely a *barred* owl, instead of a barn owl. Different species. It helps that the infamous TNT Zone also is host to a native population of barred owls. Flatwoods, on the other hand, is probably a barn owl.

    I grew up in Parkersburg West Virginia. Just a stones throw away from Point Pleasant. I lived also within seeing distance of the Ohio river, sort of out in the country. I remember being little and hearing stories from my Mamaw about the mothman and it FREAKED me OUT! 😂 I would always check the sky when I had to go outside in the dark (as if I could have seen something anyway) just in case. My biggest fear was one night I'd look up and the mothman would be perched on the telephone pole (it was the 90's) looking down at me with those two big red glowing eyes!!! Ahhhhhh! 😨😳
