Yeah, I know it's a bit old but I just saw the movie tonight. I had no idea what the movie was about but I heard it was a true story. Now I wonder how much was fact and how much was artistic liscense. The story itself is pretty freaky but I've never even heard of the legends of these Mothmen/Mothman and the movie didn't seem to explain the idea behind it very well. So if anyone has a better explanation as to what the hell was going on or they think the whole thing is pure crap let me know.

I thought it was a good movie. As far as being factually true???????
I can't discount the possibility of it actually happening.

Neither did I! Dont think that the story is factually true! Too farfetched to my humble opinion!!

i too saw the movie for the first time not to long ago,
and enjoyed it thoroughly. afterward, like you, i wondered about
the true story behind the events, and did a quick search on the net.
heres a few links:
>>> http://www.prairieghosts.com/moth.html
>>> http://www.mothmanlives.com/
>>> http://www.blather.net/archives2/issue2no5.html
the last link especially gives a bit of a look into keels
(the author of the book) personal experience in point pleasant,
and i got the idea that the movie was basically loosely based
on his experiences. obviously there was some hollywood embellishing
added, but the eye witness accounts sound real enough.
interesting story.
