This is one of my favorite horror movies.. and one hell of a tale..
I remember reading John Keel's book of the same name that was based on the events, in a couple of hours one evening a couple of years back. For thirteen months Point Pleasant 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, strange people, weird flying machines and of course, the Mothman. It was a real page turner.
Any other people heard about the story that inspired the film, or lives close to that area?

I read a lot about the Mothman and am sure it was all a fabrication to make the town famous and increase tourism, just like so many other cryptids or supernatural events (Jersey Devil, Amityville, Bunnyman, Travis Walton adduction, etc.) I don't believe it anymore than I believe Russia interfered in the last election or that Charlie Rose, Jerry Sandusky and so many others are guilty of anything. No real evidence, no crime as far as I'm concerned.
