The Mothman Squeaks
Posted by: Nick Redfern on August 26th, 2014
Squeaking, err, speaking of the Mothman…
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 Squeaks” is the final book in Colvin’s “birdman vocalization” trilogy, which looks at the many ways Mothman communicates. Recent 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.
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.
“The Mothman Squeaks” features an insightful foreword by Kenn Thomas, editor of Steamshovel Press; a thought-provoking introduction by Wahabah Hafsa Al Muid (“Wham”) of Church of Mabus Radio; and fascinating interviews and correspondence with researchers like George Knapp, Jim Marrs, Nick Redfern, Judyth Vary Baker, Adam Gorightly, Stan Gordon, Peter Moon, Ted Torbich, Jeffery Pritchett, Keith Hansen, Navajo Chief Leonard Dan, Scott Corrales, J.C. Johnson, Whitley Strieber, Eugenia Macer-Story, and Tessa B. Dick (widow of Philip K. Dick).

JUDITH VARY BAKER? The mistress of Lee Harvey Oswald? (Or at least, the lover of the “historical” LHO, who grew up in New Orleans. The Lee Harvey Oswald shot by Jack Ruby may be have been a Russian triple agent, who was framed because he penetrated the conspiracy to assassinate JFK, and reported it to J. Edgar Hoover.) I realize this is a lot to drop here at one fell swoop, but I’m very conversant in this subject matter, having published and edited THE GRASSY KNOLL GAZETTE for over five years….
There can’t be more than one Judith Vary Baker. You sucked me in.
