    Love seeing the vintage styled masks that I make in your video. The Mothman is exclusive to the Mothman Museum and myself. No other way to get them. Second time Jacob has shown my masks. First time was the Oddities museum in Knoxville. Awesome.

Luckily we got to the festival 2 hours early to get a great parking spot and a group photo with the statue before there was a line. I hope you and Jenn enjoy the vintage roadmap keychains I crafted 🙂 It made my day to catch you and be able to give them to you! Also, I meant to say thank you for my birthday Cameo back in July.

    My fiancé and I met you at the Mothman Festival back in 2019- thank you for making our trip an even better experience! We are from Massachusetts and I am so excited you are hitting up the Big E- it's a great fair, 4th biggest in the US! A few things I'd recommend as a first timer, for parking, don't do the street parking/private lots, the official lot has more than enough parking and is $10, you'll want to put your directions in for Gate 9, that is the only official lot. The traffic can be awful depending on day of the week but you'll get there! On a different note- because this is a fair for all of New England, as far back as you can go from the entrance there are the "state houses" each one is themed after the various New England states and are something you definitely shouldn't miss. They really showcase each state in a fun way with food and things to buy! There is also a really fun Mardis Gras themed parade each day at 6pm! Have a blast and really looking forward to your video! :)

    I take investigating cryptids like mothman very seriously, and it seems like the festival has a more lighthearted tone to it, and that's fine too. It's calling attention to cryptids in general and that's a good thing in my book. Maybe one of those kids will grow up, and be the one who finally proves the existence of Sasquatch or even mothman. Who knows.
