Mothman + 40
Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 9th, 2006
After the success of The Mothman Prophecies, the sleepy town of Point Pleasant has reawakened.
The organizers of the annual Mothman Festival at the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, have announced that they will once again have their event. The 5th annual MOTHMAN FESTIVAL will be held here in downtown Point Pleasant on Saturday and Sunday, September 16th and 17th, 2006. This year will mark the 40th anniversary of MOTHMAN’s debut appearance near the TNT area back in November of 1966 and plans for this year’s festival are already underway.
The success and magnitude of the MOTHMAN FESTIVAL continues to grow each year at a record pace so make plans now to attend and conduct your own investigative search for one of the world’s most famous winged creatures. See you at the festival !!!

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Cool, I hope to be there.
Hi Loren,
Any word on whether John Keel will be there?
Say hi to Indrid for me!
Ah Dang… and I’ll be stuck in Austin going to the ACL Festival…
Well, JW, that’s why they put the “city limits” there, right?
Indrid Cold: I’ll avoid.
John Keel: No word yet. His health may prevent him. But you never can tell.
See ya….
Give them a good Speech Loren!!!
My fiance, Brent Fair and I will be there. The Mothman hits close to home for him, as he and his mother Susan Wilcox are [#74] on the “Death List.”
