“Swift Peter” – The Mothman
Posted by: Nick Redfern on January 31st, 2015
Paul Seaburn has a new article at Mysterious Universe that begins as follows:
“A recent story in Cryptozoology News caught my eye because it referred to a creature I had never heard of before. A woman in Mississippi claimed that in 2013 she saw a large creature with wings that scared her dogs and reminded her of the stories her grandparents told of a Mothman-like creature they called a Swift Peter.
“Marie (no last name) says she saw the creature near Arkabutla Lake in Tate County at around 11 pm on a night when a storm knocked out the electricity. Hearing dogs barking everywhere, she investigated and saw a shadow of something that was ‘large and could fly.’ She and her mother found a set of 7-toed footprints the next morning.”
