Nice summary, but it should say "is gripped by a real-life nightmare that culminates in a tragedy that makes headlines around the world" instead of "strategy". Not trying to put you down, just trying to help.

I think that the character in The Mothman Prophecy were made up for the most part, but the "facts" of the story are more or less right.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought...his buddies in the UFO came to get him.

There is a new series called sci fi investigates only on the internet.....link: http://www.scifi.com/investigates/episodes...0103/index.html

well they investigated.....and said when Mothman was here on Earth....during this time...with us humans...there were at least 100 UFO sightings.

All this happened in 1966-67.

However, there is some conflicting reports on Mothman's appearance....ok...they all said it has red glowing eyes...and wings and a human body shape....but the face one was a monster and the other was like a human face....

Anyone know for sure?

POINT PLEASANT, W.V. (GNS) -- The prophetic being known as Mothman was killed last night in a freakish accident.
A resident of Point Pleasant left an oversized Bug Zapper on overnight, luring the winged prophet to death by electrocution.
"I was just settled into bed, ready to watch the news, when there was this godawful flash and big zapping sound in my backyard," Leon Tannenbaum said. "I got up and found this fellah they call Mothman dead in my new Bug Zapper! He ruined the thing, and made an awful stink too!"
Thousands of residents of Point Pleasant have filed by the charred remains of Mothman. Few of them expressed sorrow at his passing.
Residents have said for years that the sighting of Mothman presaged disasters in their city.
"The first time we saw him years ago, the bridge collapsed," one citizen said. "A year or so later, he was seen days before the paint factory blew up. A few months later, we saw him leaping across rooftops --- days before the Spam factory burned up in a grease fire. I say good riddance! He was a jinx!"
A young woman at the site of Mothman's electrocution concurred.
"It's not like he was cool like Spiderman or Superman or nothing," she said. "He liked to hang out in trees at night. He was worse than a pigeon! You should see the mess he made on my car last month!"
Tannenbaum said he'll remove the charred remains after the novelty wears off. For the moment, however, he's charging onlookers $5 apiece to visit his yard and view what's left of the spectral Mothman.
"I figure to use the money to buy a new Buz Zapper," Tannenbaum said. "That moth fellah ruined the one I just put up. I guess this was one disaster he didn't see coming."

Sounds like a Freudian slip if I ever heard one.

these folk tales of mothman, or also referred to, in few cases, as "indrid cold", is rather interesting. i have gathered many theories of this creature over time and have come to start a story that is still in the works. maybe i could travel to Point Pleasant, West Virginia in hopes of finding something.

That couldn't hurt, but it would seem to me that the evidence(if there ever really was any) would be all but eliminated by all those who would have come before you looking for the same thing, considering how long ago it was when the first reports came out. All you would probably be able to get is eyewitness accounts(which normally would be what you would primarily be looking for), and those are only as good as the credibility of those involved.

Good luck.

^^^ Not to mention how much these stories tend to grow with the passing years.

the mothmen could be a mutant owl. its said to live in a nuclear waste site. so it mightve made any owl creepy.

The majority UFO's spotted were described as balls of energy about the size beach balls and according to Keel most crafts that were seen may have been hallucinations caused by the malevolent forces he describes in the book. Mothman himself may have been a hallucination or materialization from the forces.


sorry

forgot how to quote so I winged it best I could

There is supposed to be a spacecraft buried in Flatwoods, W.VA.
You won't find anything on the internet about this.

It was supposed to have happened around the very late 1890s. Since the people in the area thought one of their own was guilty of murder for killing the little man that they thought came from it, they drug it to a gulley and covered it up with earth and rock.

This is the same area where there was a Mothman sighting in the mid 1900s.
