The only recorded biological image of an interesting woman in our records is that of the Lamia Witch from Welsh folklore.
Here, we will discuss the Guest Witch.
The Guest Witch is a witch, a monster, a ghost in Welsh folklore, as ugly as her name suggests.
There is a local proverb used to describe women whose appearance is unappealing.
It is said that she has a body reminiscent of a harpy, with emaciated arms, tangled black hair, and long sharp teeth that are also black. Her entire body appears sickly thin, and she has a pair of demonic wings remaining on her back. There are many stories about the Lamia Witch, most describing her appearing near swamps or rivers.
In the works of Welsh folklorist Marit Trelawney, there is a description of the river spirit emerging from the center of a lake, water dripping from her bat-like wings, her long black hair, and her claw-like fingers, shimmering in the moonlight.
Each time she rises from the water, she clasps her hands together and emits a long wail or piercing moan before flapping her wings and flying toward the castle, hiding within its walls.
In legend, the Guest Witch foretells death; she approaches the windows of those on the brink of death at night, calling out their names.
When certain individuals accidentally meet her gaze, she lets out a strange and piercing wail, signaling that the person who sees her or someone close to them is about to die.
This characteristic is strikingly similar to that of the Banshee in Irish folklore.
As for the claim that the Welsh Guest Witch whimsically flew to Vietnam in 1969, it has garnered some support from netizens and media alike.
They believe that during the Vietnam War, death was ever-present, and the appearance of such a creature signified these unavoidable tragedies.
Of course, such a mythical explanation clearly cannot satisfy the public's appetite.
Regarding the incident involving a woman, the most popular explanation among various speculations and theories is that the witnesses may have been under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, leading to illusions.
It is well known that during World War II, the U.S. Military had a history of distributing sedative drugs, and during the Vietnam War, drug use among armed forces reached epidemic levels.
According to the 1973 Vietnam Drug Users Return Final Report published jointly by the United States Department of Defense, Department of Labor, Mental Health Research Institute, Veterans Administration, and Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force, 69% of personnel who were withdrawn from service between 1971 and 1972 had used marijuana at least once.
38% had consumed opiates, while 34% had used heroin; users of amphetamines and barbiturates accounted for 25% and 23%, respectively.
As for the dangers of drug use to the human body, it is well understood, so the speculation that witnesses experienced hallucinations due to drug overdose has gained acceptance among many.
However, the problem with this theory is whether it is truly possible for three people to experience the same hallucination and see the same thing.
Moreover, in Morrison's interview records, he indirectly indicated that he had not used any drugs.
Other theories from different netizens suggest that this could be a Holographic Projection from terrestrial or extraterrestrial civilizations. This conclusion is primarily based on the invention of lasers in 1960, which led to a qualitative leap in Holographic Projection technology.
Additionally, it is due to the witnesses describing the slow movement of the creature and its glowing characteristic. They believe this could be attributed to humid weather at the time of the incident, causing electromagnetic radiation to ionize the air and produce a glowing phenomenon.
Some also believe that this creature may not actually exist.
The emergence of this news could potentially be part of a U.S. Military Psychological Warfare experiment.
Psychological Warfare is a tactic employed by the United States to induce or reinforce behaviors deemed beneficial to American objectives.
In 1966, the Seventh Psychological Operations Group was stationed in Hong Kong to serve the First Army. Some netizens believe that the occurrence of these mysterious events is likely linked to the information dissemination by Psychological Warfare units.
From my personal understanding, the existence of a creature referred to as the Winged Woman seems highly improbable.
Although this creature has been described in detail online, the timing of the war, the uniqueness of the sightings, and America's history of unidentified flying objects lead me to feel that there is a lack of credibility.
What strikes me as most suspicious is the identity and testimony of the witness.
In fact, Donald Worley mentioned in his article that Morrison is a distant cousin of his and he considers Morrison to be a reliable observer.
However, in Morrison's testimony, he first described the creature's height as being between 6 to 7 feet, and later stated that the woman's height was less than 5 feet. This inconsistency raises questions.
Additionally, when Donald asked about his two comrades, Morrison claimed he could not remember them.
While personnel changes during war are common, it is puzzling that he could clearly recall the weather temperature of that day yet forgot the names of his comrades.
