I was very interested in reading about the stories of those who saw the Mothman. I grew up near Mothman sightings and wanted to know more about the lore. The chapters on Mothman were exciting. They were tense and terrifying and exactly what I was hoping for. The problem was there were not many chapters on Mothman. Initially UFO stories were interspersed between Mothman tales, so I didn't mind. But then it dissolved into UFO stories, many nowhere near West Virginia. It also began to be less about the witnesses and more about the author's vanity. All experiences people described had something to do with him. For example, if he was told women had pregnancy paranatural experiences, and he started thinking that no one could be pregnant, then the women would suddenly not be pregnant. He stated his phone was tapped, his voice was imitated, his stuff was stolen, etc. He eventually sounded like a paranoid schizophrenic. If you want to learn about Mothman, find another book.

So fantastic, so unbelievable, so...crazy. Cant help feel anything but unsettled and humbled by this story. Im going to take John at his word, but only God knows what happened there. Buckle up, John takes you through insanity. He does it with a level head, which seems impossible given the events that took place.

Mr. Keel gives so much more information in his book than has ever been
reported or shown in the many programs and shows presented on t.v. either
through documentary or movie formats. This is a great book, worth every
dollar spent.
