Revised Research Question


  

 My current research question is to look at why people are drawn to dark or paranormal tourism, and how this form of tourism affects the general interest in the paranormal. I will likely have a focus on the Mothman Museum and Festival, with other cases used as support.

    Listed below are some of the sources I think I'll be eventually referencing in my paper.

Visual Aspect

Image
  NOTE: The original image found on the Mothman Festival website was pretty blurry, so I did take the liberty of sharpening the image somewhat. Otherwise, I did no other edits. In the image above, the camera has captured a view of the large crowd that is flooding the streets of Point Pleasent, West Virginia during one of their annual Mothman Festivals. Lining the sides of the streets are temporary stands for vendors that set up shop for the festival with a variety of festival and or Mothman-related paraphernalia. While I couldn't find any hard numbers about the number of visitors during the festival, estimates have placed at least around a thousand attendees during the festival, which is believable when looking at an image like this. This helps illustrate just how powerful and important paranormal tourism is and can be for a local economy.

Topics Under Consideration

 The topic I'm currently considering the most is the Mothman of Point Pleasent, though I'm sure I would end up talking about the reports of it from over the world. Mothman always interested me since my parents showed me the Mothman Prophecies movie growing up, which also likely got me interested in the unexplained in the first place. The mystery over what Mothman is has always been alluring. Is it a giant humanoid moth? An alien or divine being? Or is it a bird or a secret government experiment? What connection does it have to the mysterious Indrid Cold, who stopped several people on highways in the area and talked to them telepathically in the period prior to the Mothman?  Image Source: Title card for the Mothman episode on Monstrum , a PBS Youtube series on creatures of folklore from around the world, their inspirations, and their effect on society. I personally recommend the series. If Mothman turns out not the topic I wish to pursue, I would look into ghosts. More specifi...

Literature Review #4

Source Citation: Terry, Neil et al. "Bikers, Aliens, And Movie Stars: Comparing The Economic Impact Of Special Events". Journal Of Business & Economics Research (JBER) , vol 7, no. 11, 2011. Clute Institute , doi:10.19030/jber.v7i11.2356. The article explains the history of three towns in brief detail as well as the origins of each town’s respective festival, though my main interest was in the UFO Festival of Roswell, New Mexico. In the section following these backgrounds, the authors compared some economics from the residents as well as the average economic stats of each festival, and then discussed some potential reasons behind the size and profit of each festival. The biggest draw of the article was the data on the profit of the UFO Festival, which I needed to help prove that paranormal tourism is a viable economic option. All three authors are professors in Economics/Finance at the West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas. Dr. Neil Terry is also a dean at the un...
