On the night of November 15, 1996, two adventurous youngcouples drove into the TNT area north of Point Pleasant, WV. What they saw in the countryside that night has evolved into one of the great mysteries ofall time: just who--or what--was the Mothman?

This book will answer many questions regarding just what those couples saw outside the abandoned North Power Plant that night. Culled from a variety of sources, the materials presented inside are not conjecture--the authors are careful not to cross the line between fact and fiction--leaving any decisions regarding the truth behind the Mothman legend solely up to the reader.

The text features eyewitness accounts, newspaper clippings, and previously unpublished information.

It is sure to be of interest to readers as a tie-in with the January 2002 release of Sony Pictures' "The Mothman Prophecies" starring Richard Gere.

Strange occurrences and alarming sightings in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia-including the shocking appearance of a bizarre winged apparition that became known as the Mothman-troubled the once tranquil community from November 1966 to December 1967. Mysterious lights sparkled and moved across the winter heavens. Domestic animals were found slaughtered and mutilated. Weird speculations among townsfolk began to emerge that have never been fully confirmed or explained. Most alarming, many say the strange Mothman visitations never stopped. The terrifying legend was birthed in the mountains, but now visitations have been documented around the world. Credible eyewitnesses abound-from every region of America and South America, from Europe to Asia-of a winged beast of mammoth proportions. The stories inside this volume further this legend and are penned by some of the best storytellers in the nation, including Chandler Kaiden, Bev Vincent, S. Clayton Rhodes, Karin Fuller, Brian J. Hatcher, Lisa Morton, Victorya Chase, Orrin Grey, Jessie Grayson, William Meikle, John J. Barnes, Adrian Ludens and Joseph Nassise. They have done their research and have much to say about the winged monster. Be prepared. Many of their final conclusions are petrifying.
