The Mothman Prophecies by John A. Keel

I was wondering if anybody has read this book, because i'm in the middle of it at the moment. Just looking for some opinions i guess.

i saw the movie, and a wierd thing happened after i saw it...i noticed a painting my mother drew many years before and the picture was of the black angle type thing..creeped me right out!i have never asked her about it though

by the way do u belive these accounts with the moth man to be true?

i read the book in 1989. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life...and I'm serious.

The movie was a joke, a disappointment, and proof that Hollywood will lie when the truth is more dramatic. I was more than sorely disappointed.

Are you enjoying the book? And I'm glad to finally find some one who has actually read the book.

the book was very detailed...which would make it hard for it all to be false....i really enjoyed it though, i finished it last night

I have (and have read) that book. As a researcher, I really appreciated the way Mr. Keel presents his data and forms his theories. I don't want to give away the main theme but let us know when you realize just what he's trying to say about the beings in question.

I've read it, and I think it is a scary book..
Not too sure about one thing though, but the reference to Chernobyl surely is invalid because I (THINK) Chernobyl was AFTER the events in the book, but it sounds like it is refered to as past tense in the book?
Someone please help clarify, thanks

this book has been recommended to me more than a few times, so I went to my university's library to take out a copy. out of the literally millions of books they have, they don't have a copy of The Mothman Prophecies. I thought that was really strange.

MC, its not that strange. I had to really search to find my copy but that was before the movie publicity. I think there has been a reprinting since it was released. You might try Amazon or Barnes and Noble. I'm not sure why a library that large would not carry it but that is curious.

In the forward of the edition I have, Mr. Keel eludes to the fact that the Pt. Pleasant WVA library only has one old first edition copy. Seems they have long forgotten the events leading up to such a dissaster.

Keel had a tendency to be overly dramatic, but he was one of the truley great field researchers in the paranormal. He actually got out and did the legwork. His ideas on our relationship with these phenomena is probably leaps and bounds ahead of most other researchers. He almost recognises a quantum, self-referential aspect to these incidents.
