How the 2002 Mothman Film Differs from Keel's Book

Brent Raynes has been investigating UFOs and paranormal phenomena for the last 55 years. He is editor of Alternate Perceptions, an online magazine, that recently published its 290th issue. He is author of Visitors From Hidden Realms, On the Edge of Reality, and John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries. His website is https://www.apmagazine.info/

Here he focuses on Keel’s most famous investigation: the Mothman sightings and related precognitions around Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the mid-1960s. In 2002, a film was made based on Keel’s book, The Mothman Prophecies. Raynes points out that the actual investigation was more complex than was revealed in the movie. He describes his own research into this case as well as that of others. In one related, and well-documented, episode, Keel had a lengthy visit from a friend who was deceased. Raynes describes his own efforts to communicate with Keel after Keel’s death in 2009.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “Parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
