Was Mothman an owl?🦉

With the festival now just a few days away, we’ve been thinking A LOT about our favorite cryptid of the skies. One of the most prominent claims from folks trying to explain the Mothman sightings is that the creature was actually a very large bird, usually identified as a sandhill crane or, more recently, a large Barred Owl or Snowy Owl that was misidentified. While an owl does make more sense than a crane to us, there are still a lot of factors in the Mothman story that don’t add up to it being a bird, including its reported size and speed. What do you think the Mothman is/was?

We’ve gained a lot of new followers in the past few days, so we wanted to do a quick post to introduce ourselves and what we do!

The Green Eyes Festival is an annual festival held in the Fall in downtown Chickamauga, GA, a small town in the Northwest Georgia mountains. We started this festival in 2024 to draw attention to local folklore and stories, keeping them alive for future generations while also celebrating the season with our community. Since then, the festival has grown into a much bigger deal than we expected, with bands performing, a speaker hall, dozens of great vendors, and sister events like the Cryptid Ball and Green Eyes Gallop.

If you are a new follower, thank you so much for being here to help us keep our stories alive, and we hope to see you at the festival! Please drop any questions you have below!
