In 1966 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, some weird shit started happening. A series, or "flap", of UFO sightings, paranormal activity, general weirdness, and most famously, sightings of a giant winged humanoid dubbed "The Mothman" all occurred within a two year span. All of this culminated in the collapse of the Silver Bridge, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. For this whole two year period, parapsycholgist and Fortean author John Keel was present. The resulting book that stemmed from his experiences and acounts there was The Mothman Prophcies, his 1975 paranormal classic. This movie is supposed to be a modern take and adaption of this time period but, is unfortunately not nearly as interesting. We talk a ton about the paranormal in this episode. Enjoy!
