Publisher Description
The New York Times bestseller long regarded as a classic in the literature of the unexplained—the basis of the 2002 film starring Richard Gere.
"The Mothman remains a potent piece of American folklore." —CNN
West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant is gripped by a real-life nightmare culminating in a tragedy that makes headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that becomes known as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community. Mysterious lights are seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals are found slaughtered and mutilated. And journalist John Keel, arriving to investigate the freakish events, soon finds himself an integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery.
"An essential read. Even if you just enjoy good suspense, when Keel talks of his own experiences with Men in Black, stolen evidence, and intimidation via eerie phone calls and visitations, you'll want to keep reading." —Strange Horizons
Customer Reviews
Very interesting
Hard to explain … Read this felt like a look inside the mind of an insane person … Too much disjointed information, which may or may not be connected or even true - I believe Keel and others had these experiences, but even Keel states often that reality is only one’s individual perception. Nothing like the movie, but it would have been impossible to do any justice to this book. The only conclusion I could come to is that the CIA and others were likely trying to drive the ufo believers crazy
