MOTHMAN: The Facts Behind the Legend (Expanded Edition) contains only factual information about the elusive Mothman creature of legend, and silver screen, appearing Point Pleasant, WV. The authors never try to sway your opinion and strictly offer information obtained in interviews and documented research. Both authors have lived in the area since childhood and, as such, gather information only local, trusted interviewers or researchers could. Author Sergent attended high school with Dani Scarberry, the daughter of original Mothman eyewitness Linda Scarberry. Linda sits down with author Sergent and discloses information never before heard or read about anywhere in the world in an exclusive interview. Information in this interview includes the Mothman, UFO, Men in Black firsthand accounts and much more.
