The first in our new "Phasing" series of short audio and video. Alongside our weekly full length episodes we'll provide our shorts revisiting subjects often mentioned on the show. First up: Gray Barker's important novelistic report on the Mothman happenings of 1967, The Silver Bridge,  and why it shows how much weirder that folklore is than we give it credit for today. Your Mothman plushie might be a thoughtform...  or a big, oily bird.
