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?
