About this listen

IN 1966, DARKNESS TOOK FLIGHT

Mothman Has Captivated the World Ever Since

When a large, winged humanoid with glowing red eyes was spotted in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the Mothman legend was born. Since that fateful November night, the flying cryptid has become one of the most famous monsters of all time.

Richard Estep and renowned Mothman researcher Tobias Wayland document firsthand witness accounts and conduct detailed investigations with the hope of seeing the iconic cryptid themselves. This book chronicles their discoveries, which include large concentrations of sightings in the Chicago and Lake Michigan area. They delve into the science of Mothman, where he may reside and travel, and much more.

From the encounter at Dufield Pond to the Van Meter Visitor, Mothman presents terrifying experiences with the black, red-eyed creature that no one―including you―will ever forget.

There was a lot of interesting information in this book, and I now have a much better understanding of Forteana. However the narrator had a very off-putting snooty kind of voice that made it sound like he was mocking everything, and frequently things were mis-read. The habit of talking about the authors in the third person during interviews was grating - possibly that was worse in the audio version though.

I’ve enjoyed several other Richard Estep books, some in future I’ll maybe stick to ebooks and print versions.

Maybe better in print?
