The Mothman Prophecies: A True Story

This is an incredible story told by someone smack dab in the middle of the events he describes. You get the entire story from his perspective, no more no less. So that you can come up with your own conclusions from the true accounts he gives to the best of his abilities, which due to his writing skill, is quite descriptive and the accounts of the bizarre behavior of the men in black, too odd to be made up by a mere human mind, convinced me that something very strange happened there.

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.

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.
