Story
Is there a single intelligent force behind all religious, occult, and UFO phenomena? Strange manifestations have haunted humans since prehistoric times. Beams of light, voices from the heavens, the "little people", gods and devils, ghosts and monsters, and UFOs have all had a prominent place in our history and legends. In this dark work, John Keel explores these phenomena, and in doing so reveals the shocking truth about our present position and future destiny in the cosmic scheme of things.

When this work was first published in 1970, it shredded the then-trendy nuts-and-bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history. Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises - and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions.

Do not miss this great classic and the powerful introduction that explores the situation as it stands today—even more provocative and important now, as official sources are admitting that UFOs are real unknowns and that they seem to have something to do with close encounters.

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

This riveting inside story of the intense search for the Salt Lake City teenager who was kidnapped from her bed reveals never-before-told details of the largest investigation in Utah state history. Paced like a thriller, this true account moves between the parallel stories of the searchers and the abductor. Going beyond a mere eyewitness account, the book includes information culled from interviews with more than 150 people involved in the search and investigation, notes from family meetings, and memos from law enforcement officials.

Story
Scott Warden is a man haunted by the past-and soon to be haunted by the future. In early 21st-century Thailand, Scott is an expatriate slacker. Then, one day, he inadvertently witnesses an impossible event: the violent appearance of a 200-foot stone pillar in the forested interior. Its arrival collapses trees for a quarter mile around its base, freezing ice out of the air and emitting a burst of ionizing radiation. It appears to be composed of an exotic form of matter.

The 1920s are famous as the golden age of jazz and glamour, but it was also an era of fevered yearning for communion with the spirit world, after the loss of tens of millions in the First World War and the Spanish-flu epidemic. A desperate search for reunion with dead loved ones precipitated a tidal wave of self-proclaimed psychics - and, as reputable media sought stories on occult phenomena, mediums became celebrities.

Keel. Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, "The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone" and "Searching for the String," were revolutionary, and explored ideas popularized in Keel’s classic books.

This story of a real-life Indiana Jones of the 1950s named John Keel contains everything but a trip to Venus in a flying saucer - a subject our newsman/explorer would become famous for a decade later. In Egypt, the fearless Keel was cursed by a mummy and befriended members of a strange snake-charming cult. In Iraq, he played Russian roulette with a notorious desert bandit and lived among the Yezidi devil-worshippers. Later, in India, he was buried alive and discovered the secret of the Indian rope trick, which he then performed for incredulous reporters in New Delhi.

Using a wide array of evidence, coming from several different angles, Keel deftly explains why the winged, birdlike "ancient aliens" are bent on controlling the human race and how they do it. Surprisingly, Keel's research into Mothman could play a key role in deciphering the mystery of ancient aliens - whether or not the human race was actually created, genetically, by giant birdmen mating with earth women, and whether or not there was once a worldwide religion that worshiped Mothman-like gods.

In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

Smart, compelling, disturbing
A word to the wise: If you're looking for a novelization of the Richard Gere movie, you might want to think twice before ordering this book. John A. Keel's "The Mothman Prophecies" is not a novel, nor is it fiction. It is the sober account of a professional journalist who also happens to be a paranormal researcher. As such, it is one of the best books of its genre. By way of the mysterious figure of the Mothman, who haunted Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the late 1960s, Keel puts forth his grand unified theory of all things paranormal, which connects such seemingly diverse phenomena as ghosts, fairies, UFOs, men in black, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, angels, demons, and even The Shadow, the pulp-magazine crimebuster. Keel's clear, engaging style lends credence to the strange goings-on that he collects and documents, and the conclusions that he draws not only ring true but also linger long after the final page. As the Mothman mystery deepens and the author's life begins to imitate a David Lynch film, readers may want to turn on a few extra lights, but they won't be able to turn off this book.

The Nature of Human Perception
Keel's The Mothman Prophecies is a book that explores the unknown--human consciousness. The theme of the book is clear from the beginning. Keel is more interested in the root causes of phenomena than the evidence. And the cause, for him, lies somewhere in the mystery of human consciousness and perception. It is a fascinating read. If you like pyschology and parapsychology, this is the pinnacle.

Not really a book
This is not really a book but a series of loosely connected anecdotes. They generally start something like this - On June 13, 1961 while Bob Smith was walking down the street he encounter a large bat-like creature.
The problems with this book are not related to the subject matter but how it is presented. Lots of random sightings that aren't linked together into any kind of narrative and are not supported by much fact.
I am very interested in this topic but this book was completely unengaging.

Hogwash
Where do I start? How about with the fact the author states that dark-skinned asians from outer space drive mysterious black VW Bugs and come to our planet to mutilate cattle, make prank phone calls, pretend to be government agents, and take suprise photographs of us while hiding in our living rooms?
I can't believe that 'literature' like this got published but hundreds of authors get rejected every month.
And the money the author accepted from Hollywood for the rights to develop a movie based on it would have been better invested in nursery rhymes.
It amazes me that this guy actually has made a living since the 1960s writing this stuff.
He takes credit for every original thought that UFO folks have had (because he 'wrote a paragraph' about it earlier). But discredits some of the folks he interviews while trying to make others look more believable.
The book isn't about the mothman - which he describes as being everything from a 10 foot chicken to a nude dark 7 foot tall woman with wings. It's about nothing in particular; just a collection of accounts in the late 60s and early 70s that he 'investigated.'
It's hard to listen to the book without being insulted by the author's attempt to even make you belive some of this stuff.
Like a proverbial 'train wreck' the only reason to continue to listen is to see just how far out on a limb this guy can go. Just when you think he's managed to completely confuse everything that you've ever heard about UFOs; he'll take it a step further by telling you that these same aliens will cause your phone lines to screach and then send poltergeists to your house just for kicks. Obviously no one ever told him that UFOs, Ghosts, & Demons are about as different subjects as Vasectomies, Home Shopping Channes, and Oil Changes are.
Save your money.
Save your sanity.
Save what's left of your good taste.
Don't buy this book.
You've been warned.

very insightful and well read
I'm a zoologist, and I ejoyed this book thoroghly. It was insightful and knowledgable. Some people complain that the title was "decieving", due to lack of information on the Mothman. Keel only spends a chapter talking about this winged creature, but what was there was very interesting. Being in the field of zoology, I come across cryptids like the Mothman all the time. the most popular being obviously, bigfoot and nessie. If these subjects interest you then you should find this to be a very interesting listen.

Not The Movie!
Before buying this, you should know that although it WAS the basis for the film of the same name, it is not a novelization of the film. Keel's MMP details the actual events that transpired during a thirteen month period in Point Pleasant WV and the Ohio Valley in the late 60's. It's an incredible read and nicely done in audio book form.

A UFO paranoiacs delight
Story after story after story ad infinitum of sightings. each story lasting 3-4 minutes. NOTHING like the movie. Listen to the sample. Of all the audio books I have purchased, this is the only one I couldn't get through.

A mixed up jumble...
...of sightings, strange occurances, UFO's, Men in Black and other such things. Keel goes to great lengths to tell all about each event that happend in Point Pleasant before the bridge disaster. He also backs up many events with other sightings and visits and occurances, until your head is swimming. The biggest problem is the lack of continuity or timeline, and cross-referencing with events he's already covered (which is hard to go back to in audio format...if you really want to go back in the first place). While at the heart of the book is an interesting tale of bizarre events leading to a strange disaster, there is a lot of extras to get through.
The narration is well done and easy to listen to.

Without question, not the movie.
So this book was not the movie, as alot of the reviews state, and that is fine. But where it goes wrong it that it has very little, (almost none) of material relating to the Mothman. It is all about UFO's. The book pretty much just consists of account after account of UFO signings, encounters, and visitations. This is all fine if the book was entitled "Strange UFO Encounters" but it wasn't. It was titled the "Mothman Prophesies" and it just didn't have anything about either the Mothman or events surrounding his sightings. The book is interesting and well done. It just doesn't have anything in it about the topic that made me what to listen to it to begin with.

Not what was expected, but suprisingly better!!
As has been stated, this book has little in common with the movie, and though I loved the movie and would have liked a more focused examination of it, this book turned out ot be infinitely more riveting. This is no novel, it is a collection of observations expressed by a journalist with a literary style that is absolutely captivating, amusing, and simultaneously disturbing. Instead of shocking us with outrageous and overly colorful depictions of events, John Keel has an amazing ability to evoke the inherent eeriness in what might seem the most mundane interactions, which when carefully analyzed, provide profoundly unsettling conclusions. He does not force his interpretation of these events, but leaves the reader to make up his or her mind. If you want a book to capture your imagination for hour upon hour on end by a talented author with a wry wit and healthy amounts of both marvel and cynicism, you will listen to this book several times without any loss of interest.
