The Mothman Prophecies
Oh yes my firends, I first heard of this when I was a little boy in the seventies. I read a true ghost stories account of an attack on two teenagers by the mothman which left actuall giant rents in the roof of their car, among the first physical evidence of the mothman. check out these very informative articles concerning the mothman, and the writer of The Mothman Prophecies.

In The Mothman Prophecies, Keel tells an astonishing tale of how, as a budding UFO researcher in November 1966, he began investigating sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, of an incredible animal form with characteristics of both man and moth. Keel found, as had his friend Ivan Sanderson before him, that the pursuit of a mystery creature – a ‘cryptid’ – leads very quickly to involvement with the mysteries of a landscape and a community.

and make sure you also read this article, in which:
In 1978, journalist RICK MORAN was asked to test his theory that journalists are better equipped to investigate paranormal mysteries than those seeking to prove or disprove them. The subject of the challenge was the series of events enshrined in John Keel’s book The Mothman Prophecies (1975). With a small group of fellow researchers, he set out for Mothman’s stomping ground, but did not reckon on the Men in Black.
