I thought the movie was interesting, but haven't read much about it...

After seeing the movie last night, and now reading the above link, it seems Hollywood took a lot of liberties with the actual happenings. I'm guessing it would be a good idea to read Keel's book!

Mothman is very unique. it really doesn't fit into any known category other than Cryptozoology. Im not sure what to think about it. John Keel's website is
www.mothmanlives.com...
He has sightings and many other things. the theory about him being created because of Genetic Mutation is absolutely Bogus. Even before West Virginia was a state, the Native Americans would stay away from it because of , as they called it, "the devil that haunted the place". The flatwoods monster is also in the same state. You should check that out.
If you have already read The Mothman Prophecies, then you should check out "the Mothman, and other creepy Phenomena, By Loren Coleman. it covers the Flatwoods Monster and The Mothman very well.

Mothman Sightings and Theories Part 1/12

Filmmaker and paranormal researcher Charlie McCracken discussed his comprehensive research on the Mothman sightings, including little known witness accounts. He was joined during the evening by Travis Shortt and Matthew Flemming who worked with him on his documentary about Mothman, "Dark Wings." For the film, McCracken said he took one of the original 1966 witnesses, Linda Scarberry, back to the location of where she saw a winged creature in Point Pleasant, WV.-- and all these years later she was still terrified to return to the site.

Shortt noted that all the witnesses were scared by what they saw and though they varied in their estimates of the creature's height (from 6 ft. to 9 ft.) they all concurred that it had glowing red eyes that were mesmerizing. He suggested that Mothman is a type of demonic manifestation, and added that there have been sightings of such a creature as recent as 2005, outside of Nashville.

McCracken hypothesized that because Point Pleasant sits at the juncture of two large rivers, the moving water may create electrical or magnetic disturbances which could either affect residents' perceptions or open a portal to another dimension. Flemming opined that Mothman may simply be an as-of-yet unidentified type of creature such as Bigfoot.

Mothman Prophecies Pt.1/11

For thirteen months from November 15, 1966 to December 15, 1967, the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia was gripped by a real-life nightmare that culminated in a tragedy that made headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that became known as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community. Mysterious lights were seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals were found slaughtered and mutilated. Journalist John A. Keel arrived on the scene to investigate the freakish events and soon found himself to be an integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery. The Mothman Prophecies is now a major motion picture.
