Product Description

This non-fiction account of aliens invading a town in West Virginia - first published in 1975 - has now been made into a major motion picture starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Alan Bates. It will be one of the biggest movies of 2002, opening in the USA in January, followed by world-wide release. A big UK opening is now tentatively set for early March.

For thirteen months the entire town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia was plagued by a dark terror that culminated in a major disaster. Unearthly noises and ghostly lights in the sky gave way to mutilated animals, winged monsters, weird flying machines and worst of all, the fearsomely demonic “Bird” - the Mothman. (20020316)

The Mothman Prophecies
To anyone this book would be an enthralling read. To anyone interested in any aspect of the paranormal this is a must read. I have always had a limited interest in the paranormal but as many other people are, I have always been sceptical about alleged sightings. This book however presents what seem to be very unbelievable events in a very believable way.

Being someone who has studied English Literature in the past, I noticed that this book reads very much like fiction, in the way it grabs your attention and I found it almost impossible to put it down. That only adds to the appeal of the book and I would say that it would be ideal for any book worm who fancies reading something a little different from the norm.

If you get the chance whoever you are, then I would suggest you read this and prepare yourself to be amazed and convinced by the experiences of John Keel and all of the seemingly eccentric, but in my opinion, genuine witnesses he met along the way.

A real pleasure to read.

First book on subject
The book is the first book I completed on the topic of UFOs and high strangeness in general. I read this book at night before going to sleep. It was hard to put down for a couple reasons - it scaried me awake so I couldn't sleep, the story was an interesting mystery, and I felt I had to finish it as soon as possible so that the uneasy feeling I had at the time would go away. With that said I still suggest people read it, since the spookiness around the world seems to be increasing. Also, the book is far superior in my opinion as compared to the movie, so I suggest the book first then the movie.

Brilliant book
I got this book on the strength of the adverts for the movie that lined bus stops all over my home town. I was pleasantly surprised. The book starts off and sounds like it is going to be all rubbish and analysising, but after the first chapter the events of Point Pleasant makes this book really interesting and easy to read. I would recommend this to anyone whether they are into the paranormal or not. It is an excellent book. A must read and will open your eyes to the weirdness that really does go on on this planet!
I really want to see the film now but it isn't on anywhere. I'll have to wait to rent that!
