Answer 2

The film The Mothman Prophecies is based on the nonfiction of the same name. Now about the book -

The Mothman Prophecies is a 1976 book by parapsychologist and Fortean John Keel, described as nonfiction.

The book's subject matter mostly concerns events in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during 1966 and 1967, focusing on sightings of a creature dubbed Mothman. It also includes Keel's theories about UFOs, Men in Black, ghosts, and other paranormal phenomena, as well as the December 15, 1967, collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River from Point Pleasant to Gallipolis, Ohio.

The veracity of the events described, especially those said to have been witnessed only by Keel himself, cannot be further established beyond reasonable doubt.

Answer 3

It's actually very interesting. A mothman appears and is seen around a bridge. Days later the bridge falls. I think that's how the story goes. On Animal Planet they did a show about people that claimed to have see and been attacked by the mothman. Pretty eerie.

Answer 4

Yes, I have heard of it. Just like everybody else, and they are correct as to where the legend began, etc. I am not quite so sure all these details are accurate though because you know how people like excitement and adlib things in the heat of the moment.

I do believe I had encounter with something that 'might' have been Mothman, though I saw no red glowing eyes...and only someone that was hysterical would have mistaken it for a Moth shape.

We were driving from Utah back to California. The wind was absolutely wicked. The type where you are white knuckling it, clutching the steeringwheel so you weren't thrown of the road. We past several semi trucks that were turned over. It was nasty. Mile and miles from anything so nothing to do but go forward. There was lots of traffic on the road, but only two lanes of traffic in the direction we were going.

Suddenly the air grew quiet. We were like 'wow' it stopped blowing. But so suddenly it was 'weird', like we were in a Vortex or something.

There in the distance we saw it. Drawing closer and closer. Actually 'it' was not moving, it hovered...but we were driving towards it, closer and closer and no way to stop, if indeed we wished to. (Which we didn't) It was huge. Like maybe ten feet tall...shrouded in black cloth, drapped over it's entire form. Like 'death' in the movies. There were four people in the bronco we were driving and our mouths all droppped open as we passed under it...gazing upwards seeing the last of it in the moon roof and then straining to see it getting smaller as we drove on. All the cars around us were doing the same thing. All kept going. Then suddenly, just like a switch was thrown it was so windy that it was quite frightening, the was that strange still was suddenly broken.

And that's the truth!!

Answer 5

I have. The family of one of my friends actually is from the town where the mothman sightings occurred and the bridge collapsed. I never believed in things like that but her aunt had the different symptoms associated with a sighting (red eyes, can't remember what else) and her Dad was visited by two men with pointy ears who told him to tell his sister not to talk about what she'd seen. They are both pretty reliable people, so it makes you think that something happened.

Get back with me, they have a VHS of a local TV documentary on the sightings.

Answer 6

The movie was based off the book by parapsychologist and Fortean John Keel in 1976. Supposibly people sighted this creature.
