An investigation into Point Pleasant’s unexplained events

Set in West Virginia in 1966, John Keel’s account gathers reports of strange lights, animal deaths, and sightings of a winged figure later called the Mothman. Keel enters the story as a journalist investigating the events, which unfold over thirteen months and culminate in a widely reported tragedy. The book’s subject is the overlap between reported paranormal phenomena and a community’s experience of a mounting mystery; it is presented as a true story of the unexplained, not as fiction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in accounts of UFOs and unexplained phenomena.
  • For readers curious about the Mothman reports associated with Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
  • For readers seeking nonfiction about paranormal investigations.

Book overview

Translated into over thirteen languages and now a major motion picture, John Keel's The Mothman Prophecy is an unsettling true story of the paranormal that has long been regarded as a classic in the literature of the unexplained.

West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant is gripped by a real-life nightmare culminating in a tragedy that makes headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that becomes known as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community. Mysterious lights are seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals are found slaughtered and mutilated. And journalist John Keel, arriving to investigate the freakish events, soon finds himself an integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery.

The Mothman Prophecy is the basis of the 2002 film starring Richard Gere.
