About this listen

 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.

Translated into over thirteen languages, John Keel's unsettling account of what he encountered in Point Pleasant has long been regarded as a classic in the literature of the unexplained. It is now the basis of a major motion picture starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney.

The Mothman Prophecies is also available in print from Tor Books.

Riveting

Anyone who believes in Aliens or UFOs would get a kick out of this audiobook. Amazing things happen on earth but not all are broadcasted out to the population or even recorded at all. The Mothman Prophecies is a telling of real life events recorded by real people. Great achievement for mankind as far as documented and recorded evidence is concerned.

Great book on high strangeness

Crazy read about high strangeness in West Virginia. Mothman plays a part, but there was so much more involving tricksters and UFO’s.

Needs updating or a sequel exploring more ideas

The POV or point of view changes a lot in this book. Is it a story or explanation of phenomena? Is it a documentary or an all-encompassing theory of the paranormal, religion, UFOs etc.? Needs updating or a sequel that explores more ideas and evidence since 1991. Similar to Whitley Strieber's ideas about the supernatural vs. space aliens, and relates to ideas like Skinwalkers & Bigfoot — that the supernatural is partially real, and partly comes from or is related to our minds.
