The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel

West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant is gripped by a real-life nightmare that culminates 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.


It was fun to read, but I got more UFO than Mothman sightings discussed in the book and Keel tends to ramble quite often and doesn't draw clear conclusions on what was actually going on in the town.
