Now I cannot prove any of this. But something started these sightings? What were they?
John went to investigate and discover what was going on. He received mysterious phone calls. He had afraid, but, equipped with an inquisitive mind wanted to solve this mystery. But he did not. He came back with more questions than he started with. Perhaps the mysterious Mothman felt isolated and threatened and simply fought back. Remember he was outnumbered and felt threatened! Did he destroy the bridge as a way of fighting back? Now I know this is just speculation.
Emotion. Know what that means? To emote means to "move" or do something. Yell, scream or get up and act!! So what about the MiBs? Well they have been around for centuries. They showed up in Celtic lore. They showed up in German folklore; always dressed in black, the color of night. Remember when you were a child, the dark was scary and filled our minds with terror. Fear is the mind killer! There is an old adage in psychology: What the mind conceives the mind believes.
Some believe that the mothman is still there. Some say it is gone. In truth nobody knows. There have been no more publicized sightings of the Mothman but the original mystery continues. Maybe the Mothman simply found another cave, another sanctuary. But if we believe it is there…then it is. If we do not then it isn't. Unless you actually encounter the Mothman or see a ghost, UFO or MiB then you won't believe.
The message to learn from Port Pleasant is that the town was warned of upcoming disasters and chose not to do anything about them. John and others believed in the prophecies, but still no one acted.
Today, John Keel is now older and his health is failing.
If you or I had the chance to help people would we? Or would we fear being considered alarmists or worst crazy persons. There is always risk in helping, as there is risk in living. Investigators like John are a dying breed.
I would. To risk nothing, try nothing or to give nothing is not living. John did not sit around. He risked, he helped people like me and questioned everything.
Explore yourself, your world and leave your mind open to the strange world around you. John Keel did, and he discovered a world filled with mystery and wonderment.

Art Champoux has been an UFO investigator since 1964. He have worked with Ray Fowler, Walter Webb, John Keel, a lady that he can not name, and several different UFO groups. In the 1960s he was with APRO, CAPER, NIACP, then when APRO went out he was with NICAP and then APRO, Now he is with MUFON. The world of the paranormal has always fascinated him as even as a small boy he had some eerie happenings. His Great grandmother was a spirit medium so maybe he has inherited something. He is a hypnotist and has written for several publications and his leanings are much like John Keels. He beleives there is an ultra force, not from outer space, but much like John's and even Jaques Vallees' contention...we are but one dimension out of many that reign on this planet.
