Some townsfolk think the appearance of the Mothman is a portent of a catastrophe (earthquakes have been more common in the past year than anyone can remember), while others think it might be related to the disaster at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Mine_%28Idaho%29 Sunshine Mine] the year before. In May of 1972, a fire broke out in the Sunshine Mine. 91 workers died from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning. It was the worst disaster in Idaho's history, and one of the worst mining disasters in American history. As of the Miskatonic gang's visit to Wallace, the mine has only recently re-opened. | Some townsfolk think the appearance of the Mothman is a portent of a catastrophe (earthquakes have been more common in the past year than anyone can remember), while others think it might be related to the disaster at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Mine_%28Idaho%29 Sunshine Mine] the year before.

While at | While at the 1313 Club Bar & Grill, the Miskatonic gang meets a pair of moonshiners, Haff Jurgle and Tenny Mope, who claim to have seen the Mothman. Mope did not get a good look at the creature, but Jurgle claims to have shot at it. Since then, he has been plagued with nightmares. He has tried to draw the creature, but everything he draws looks "wrong" to him -- as if something about the creature is impossible to draw correctly. He gives his sketches [[:File:Mothman_Haff_Jurgle_sketch_01_(Kurt_Komoda).jpg|[1]]][[:File:Mothman_Haff_Jurgle_sketch_02_(Kurt_Komoda).jpg|[2]]] to the Miskatonic gang, vowing not to think about the damned thing any more, then has what appears to be an epileptic fit. | ||
They may also run into Cumbley Gritness, editor of the Shoshone News Press. Cumbley is drinking even heavier than usual because he is worried about Elsie Poletto, a stringer for the newspaper. He will offer a $500 reward to anyone who can find Elsie, dead or alive. People in town suspect that she got to close to the Mothman, and got what was coming to her. | |||
The local sheriff, Gransh Furting, is treating the disappearance of Poletto as a missing person case. He is uninterested in the fires except as they may relate to Poletto's disappearance. Furting assumes that she fell while searching the mountain for the source of the fires. She has been missing for a week: Furting thinks she's probably dead. | |||
