Great book! I read it in one night. Centering on strange phenomenon that happened over a thirteen-month period in Point Pleasant, W. Virginia, John Keel does a great job writing his experiences in a believeable way. Were there really sightings of UFO's, giant birdlike creatures, and the infamous Mothman? According to Keel, the answer is yes. Keel asserts that he witnessed many of these stange events and even made contact with "other beings" who foretold of a great disaster that would happen in the town.

This book was turned into a 2001 movie starring Richard Gere. The book is much better as it goes in depth into the experience. Great for sci-fi fans, believers in UFO's, and conspiracy theorists alike!
