This true account of the aliens who invaded the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia – first published in 1975 – has been made into a major motion picture starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Alan Bates.
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, weird flying machines and worst of all, the fearsomely demonic “Bird” – the Mothman.
The story reads like a novel – but every single word of it is true and fully documented by john A. Keel, who spent a year in Point Pleasant where he saw and experienced many of the stranger manifestations personally.

A bestseller in America... an account of strange happenings... a dark terror inspired by unearthly noises and mysterious lights overhead. You'll believe it.
A 'supernatural suspense yarn that builds the tension without going into shock-horror' mode.
written by an investigator of the paranormal... this is a fascinating book
Keel's meticulous research,wry style and humour make this one a delight.Authentically creeepy.
