Since the beginning of recorded history, observations of unusual animal behavior before earthquakes have been recorded by people from almost all civilizations. The animal behavior reports are often ambiguous and not consistently observed. In folklore, some animals have had more reports of being able to predict earthquakes than others, especially dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and other smaller animals. There have been reports with elephants, as well. Goats, cows, and most larger animals are generally reported as being less able to predict earthquakes.

Following on the heels of the release of the movie MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, a new TV project about a CIA "remote viewing" unit is in the works, according to a Nov. 3 article in VARIETY. Widespread interest in the topic of remote viewing has grown steadily since information about Project STARGATE emerged in the 1990s. The "Goats" movie deals with a wide range of human development methods that were explored in a U.S. Army activity. Remote viewing-type capabilities and the nature of human consciousness were part of these efforts.

As I read the marker at the site in Point Pleasant, West Virginia where the Sliver Bridge once stood, I couldn´t help but wonder what the townsfolk think about the connection that has been drawn to the Mothman sightings. Forty-plus years later, many of them are still suffering from the loss of loved ones on that cold December night. The bridge memorial makes no mention of the Mothman. And the plaque at the Mothman monument a few blocks away makes no mention of the bridge. Good taste and a sense of reverence dictate that. There are many theories connecting the two events. One is that for a year-and-a-half the residents of Point Pleasant suffered from a mass hysteria that came to an end when a terrible tragedy brought them all to their senses.
