The Mothman Prophecies is a 1975 book by author John Keel.^[1]

The book combines Keel's account of his investigation into alleged sightings of a large, winged creature called Mothman in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during 1966 and 1967^[2] with his own theories about UFOs and various supernatural phenomena, ultimately connecting them to the December 15, 1967, collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River. The book was the basis of a 2002 film of the same name.
