The Mothman Prophecies
Keel's year embedded in Point Pleasant, West Virginia (1966-67) documenting a winged, red-eyed entity, Men in Black visitors, and a cascade of high-strangeness events that he links to the collapse of the Silver Bridge in December 1967. Keel argued the phenomenon manipulates human perception rather than behaving like a physical craft.
