Weirdness Of The Mothman Kind
Mysterious Universe
There can be very few researchers of the world of the unexplained who have not experienced, now and again, a sense that the phenomena they investigate sometimes manipulates them. For some people, it can be an exciting and illuminating experience. For others, it can be downright terrifying, and something which has led people to quit – forever – the world of the paranormal. I have experienced this sense of manipulation more than a few times, but last Saturday night things became downright crazy.
Right now, I’m working on a new book that includes a small overview of the Mothman mystery, which dominated the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the 1960s. So, over the course of the last week, and even though I’m very clued-in on the subject, I have been doing a bit of additional research into the winged beast made most famous in John Keel’s classic study of the case, The Mothman Prophecies.
Well, as coincidence (or synchronicity) would have it, on the very same day that I began my research last week, I received in the mail a package of new books from Andy Colvin, the author of no less than five books (s0 far!) on Point Pleasant’s most famous monster. They are: The Mothman’s Photographer, The Mothman’s Photographer II, The Mothman’s Photographer III, The Mothman Speaks and The Mothman Shrieks.
As well as writing books on Mothman, Andy has also moved into the world of publishing, which brings me back to the package of books that arrived last week. It was a parcel that contained the aforementioned The Mothman Shrieks, as well as three additional titles. One of them was Praise for the Hairy Man (a new Bigfoot-themed book Andy has written with researcher Jeffery Pritchett). The other two books were The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone and Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind.
