"The Lake Michigan Mothman" by Tobias Wayland

I picked up "The Lake Michigan Mothman:  High Strangeness in the Midwest" from it's author, Tobias Wayland at the recent Frogman Festival in Mason Ohio.

You know I am a fan of the mysterious Mothman, and it was interesting to find a newer book, tracking the strange creature's movements outside of the Point Pleasant West Virginia area.

I can't say that I understand the Mothman any more after reading this book, but the volume does contribute a whole new rabbit whole to jump in to concerning him.

Wayland documents the newer sightings of Mothman, which have MOSTLY been near Chicago, though there have been other reports spread out, but still kinda near.  I was impressed to hear about a sighting in Indiana just a couple of years after the Silver Bridge collapse- often linked to the 60s sightings.

Tobias makes some other interesting observations about the more recent sightings too.  The author gets in to conspiracies and coverups, without going too far out in left field.  There are links to UFOs, witches, pterodactyls, and the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers.  Oh, and I was particularly impressed with investigating done in a Mexican American area of Chicago.

You will want this book on your book shelf right next to Keel and Coleman.
