Book • 1975
The Mothman Prophecies is a non-fiction book by John A. Keel that documents his investigation into the strange events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, from November 1966 to December 1967.
The book focuses on the sightings of a winged apparition known as the Mothman, as well as other paranormal phenomena such as UFO sightings, mysterious lights, and animal mutilations.
Keel, a journalist and ufologist, became deeply involved in the mystery, collecting witness statements and trying to make sense of the various layers of weirdness that characterized the events.
The book culminates with the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge, which killed over fifty people and seemed to end the Mothman sightings.
The narrative is characterized by Keel's personal involvement and his struggles to find connections between the disparate events.
