Just thought I'd share my own Mothman story- well, specifically about the Mothman Prophesis movie.

I was in college at the time. I had several friends coming over for a movie night. My one friend, we'll call him Ben, was going to be picking out and bringing the movie. He gets to my room, pulls out the movie and says "Here's the movie you asked for, Jill." I was rather confused considering I hadn't asked him for a specific movie- and I told him so. He said "No, you called me last night and said "Pick up the Mothman Prophecies." I said "Ben, we never talked last night. I imed you 2 days ago just saying 'Let's do movie night, your pick.' I've never even heard of this movie." In fact, no one in the group had.

He was completely confused- kept swearing I called him, I kept saying I didn't, that I had a super hectic week and didn't even use the phone all week- only instant messaging at times. I told him he must have dreamt it. My roommate vouched for me that I didn't use the phone last night and he began wondering if it was a dream, and we all sat down to watch the movie.

Needless to say we were beyond freaked out once we watched the whole thing. He said again "Jill, I swear I talked to you last night and you said "Could you pick up the Mothman Prophecies." I'd never heard of it, but went to the movie store and there it was." We ended up online looking up every site we could find about that and the MIB. At the end of the night everyone ended up staying at my place, too freaked out to go home.

Still can't explain it since I'd never heard of the movie and know I never made that phone call. I think what freaked us all out the most is that if this really was a trick of something paranormal- why did it pick us?

I still shiver just thinking about that night.

Interesting story Jilla, thanks for sharing. I can understand everyone being a little spooked. /ohmy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

interesting especially since that is some of the phenomena reported in book and movie (people called with a voice of person they know but that person never called them) so that's an interesting "coincidence" (don't believe in em personally no coincidence to /cool.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

The movie was ok my buddhist brotha Gere did well but it failed to capture the extreme weirdness (UFO's, MiB, bigfoot, poltergeist activity,grinning man ghost, ufo attempt to kidnap a bloodmobile, the crash that never happened/skyquake etc) so i was greatly disappointed but i love Keel's account, fascinating.

Yeah- learning about people receiving calls in the voice of a friend really put us over the edge that night. The movie was practically uneventful compared to our own story lol. It did leave out a lot- especially the MIB.

thge mothman festival organizer emailed me and mentioned that the tnt igloos have exploded no sightings reprted yet but another layer of odd coincidental events seems to have unfolded with an unexploded cap was somehow ignited or at least thats the OS (Official Story).

I was hoping the show would turn around and be better.

The show was sort of a let down, I did notice there was no vid.

I have seen photos and video clips across the internet of recent "mothman" type forms but strangely MonsterQuest didn't show a single photo or any footage. It was a rather mundane episode. /sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Rick E. Hale wrote a cool article on the Mothman for our August issue. Look for it!!!!

Looking forward to it!

Someone needs to call Rob Zombie with the Mothman vs. the Gerbil horror flick idea.

I think he could pull it off? I don't think R. Gere would consider a role though !

pooperdooper I am gonna get right on that one! Zombie RULES!

I guess I need to rent the DVD and watch it- must be in the back near the "The Hideous sun demon"

Watch it, and then let us know what you think!

Oh come now Cheryl, it's not like she didn't warn you about me...

I try to make you sound better in the press releases....otherwise people feel sorry for me.

I thought the warnings were fiction for they seemed too unreal to be true. /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
