I am so freaked out...!

[Buttercup McToots]

All I have been thinking about for the last 2 weeks is the "Mothman Prophecies"
It just came to my mind about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I had followed it for awhile after I saw the movie.
I thought the movie was just kinda strange and weird.
But I had been thinking about it.
Then last week I took my son to basketball camp and there was a van in the parking lot that had a bumper sticker that said "The Mothman Prophecies".
I went to the web site and read the lastest info.
And it kinda stayed in my mind.
And now I am freaked out hearing about this bridge collapse...
Is it just me?

1. Yes.

You might also want to include the title and spoiler warnings for people who haven't seen the movie.

2. The Mothman Prophecies...

A bridge collapses in the last part of the movie
Go to IMDB and look it up..

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Yeah, I know, I've seen the movie.

But other people haven't, and they might be upset that you've ruined the surprise.

10. It wont let me open

Ya have to be a subscriber or something.

I presume some guy in the movie predicted a bridge collapsing?

Hes probably the same guy who predicted there will be an earthquake in south east asia?

Or am i totally wrong.

7. So.....

A bridge collapses in a movie and then one collapses in real life...and this freaks you out because...??

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Because she just thought of the movie a few weeks ago.

Now if she had seen the movie a few weeks after the bridge collapsed... hen that would have been proof.

Proof of what you ask?

Yes, exactly.

[Buttercup McToots]

11. It's been in my head...

I kept thinking of the people in the water from the movie, the cars!...this was last week!
I got goose bumps tonight.
And Mr. McToots is freaked because I had been telling him about this last week!

[Buttercup McToots]

8. I dunno

I just got the hebeeie jeebies...
weird

14. Jung called it "collective consciousness"

Oscar Wilde also noted that art and life sometimes mirror.
Interesting that you had been thinking about it so much.

I have known other people who have had similar experiences-
Ever read about the EGG project?
Goes hand in hand with Jung's theory about the
collective conscious.

Have a glass of wine while you check it out.
Ignore the smart asses who make fun of you on this thread.
Not nice, but fairly predictable behaviour for some of them.

12. I thought about that movie last week. I can't remember why though.

I just told my aunt that this bridge collapse reminded me of that movie too.

[Buttercup McToots]

13. You too?

This is very weird...

[ruiner4u]

16. whats really weird is...

this bridge was built in 1967.. Thats the same year that the bridge the Mothman Prophecies movie is based on collapsed

[Buttercup McToots]

20. someone updated wikipedia already

after it collapsed last night...

[smirkymonkey]

21. That's eerie. Wasn't "The Mothman Prophecies" based on a

true story?

I have to admit, I also thought about that movie when I heard about the bridge collapse as well. I wonder if we'll here about any stories coming out in the next few days where people had premonitions or visions of the bridge collapsing.

15. Check out the link to the EGG project

17. My son mentioned the Mothman connection too. nt

[Buttercup McToots]

18. All right...

I calmed down overnight...
And then read these this morning...
This bridge was built the same year
the other collapsed?

I will go read about EGG...thanks...
I am starting to bite my fingernails...

[Buttercup McToots]

19. Let's everybody help Buttercup calm down...ok?

It is 6:30 am and I just when to check up on the Mothman info...
I found this in wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Bridge

Urban legends
Odd events in the area over several months before the collapse, including appearances of a "Mothman," led to a 1975 book The Mothman Prophecies by John A. Keel. The 2002 "based on a true story" movie of the same name is not set in the 1960s, but in the present day. Point Pleasant has a Mothman Museum and holds an annual Mothman Festival.
An older theory blames the collapse on a legendary curse of the area by Shawnee Chief Cornstalk, who was murdered nearby during the American Revolutionary War.

Who updated this b/w 6 last night and 6 this am...?

23. Ohio Silver Bridge

I'm not familiar with the Mothman Prophecies, but as soon as Mr. Dem heard about the Minneapolis bridge, he started talking about the Ohio Silver Bridge that collapsed in 1967. Both are terrible tragedies.
