The Mothman Shrieks
Posted by: Nick Redfern on July 1st, 2012
Andy Colvin has yet another book out on Point Pleasant’s most famous cryptid. Yeah, you know the one!
And, as we are told: “Spurred by the realization that the 9/11 attacks were accurately predicted – in 1967 – by a childhood friend who was seeing Mothman, Seattle artist Andy Colvin began filming a reality series, ‘The Mothman’s Photographer,’ documenting his experiences growing up in Mound, West Virginia. ‘The Mothman Shrieks,’ the second book in Colvin’s ‘birdman vocalization’ trilogy, looks at the many ways Mothman communicates. Revealing letters from experiencers – penned during a wave of odd synchronicities, sightings, and encounters – indicate that Mothman may be a guardian angel of mind-bending proportions. Increasingly, the Mothman events look to be as important and miraculous as the famous events at Fatima. Interwoven with these personal diaries are discussions between Colvin and other witnesses and experts that reach back into the mysterious history of America, giving a fuller context for the phenomenon. Colvin also tracks the relationship between the paranormal and the media – how the two seemingly work together to help form public opinion and belief. Also included is a chapter of rare material from John Keel, Gray Barker, and others on the dreaded Men in Black and their impact on the early days of ufology. Mothman Shrieks features insightful forewords by Ted Torbich, host of ‘The Stench of Truth’ show, and Eugenia Macer-Story, editor of’Yankee Oracle Gazette.’ Also featured are fascinating interviews with researchers like Adam Gorightly, Keith Hansen, Robert Denton, Jr., Louise Lacey, and Sandy Nichols. ‘Really grabs you…’ -George Knapp, Coast to Coast AM ‘Prepare to have your mind blown, reorganized, and elevated…’ -Nick Redfern, author, ‘The Pyramids and the Pentagon’ ‘A breakthrough in how we perceive the mysterious…’ -Greg Bishop, Radio Misterioso ‘Better than the Hollywood version of Mothman…” Bonnie Brault, Ph.D. “Informative, entertaining adventures in synchronicity…” -Peter Moon, author, “Montauk Book of the Living” “May activate one’s interdimensional tendencies…’ -Alexandra Bruce, author, ‘Beyond the Bleep’ and ‘Beyond the Secret’ ‘One of the few researchers truly on the cutting edge…’ -Ted Torbich ‘Fascinating… A huge book…’ -Tessa B.

Even under the most generous allowances, it’s hard to take this seriously. So 9-11 was predicted, huh? Only the “prediction” was only “understood” a decade after the events. That’s neither useful nor convincing.
I’m afraid Mothman compares less with the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima and more with the alleged appearance of her image on a piece of toast.
