    The Mothman Prophecies is a 1975 book by John Keel.
    The book relates Keel’s accounts of his investigation into alleged sightings of a large, winged creature known as Mothman in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during 1966 and 1967.[2] It combines these accounts with his theories about UFOs and various supernatural phenomena, ultimately connecting them to the collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River on December 15, 1967. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mothman_Prophecies

      The real reason the Silver Bridge collapsed is because the coal companies are in complete control of West Virginia economically and politically. They made the bridge be built by the lowest bidder, who built an unsafe bridge that predictably collapsed.

      Mothman was just trying to warn people
