262. A Grinning Man from Outer Space and the Mothman Prophecies - Indrid Cold

In 1996, a mysterious man nicknamed the Grinning Man began to approach people, warning of a disaster. Simultaneously, Mothman sightings were on the rise and a bridge was soon to fall. Who was this grinning man? And were his prophecies to be trusted? His identity, and his home planet, would soon be discovered…

I remember Corinne saying she started watching Hellier and Indrid Cold + this case/the moth man is a huge part of it!! It’s such a crazy cool series, y’all should do an episode on it after watching both seasons:’) also a fun synchronicity since you just had Dana and Greg on!

[@savannahjan_1021]

I came to the comments to say this too! They HAVE to watch both parts of Hellier.

[@alexandramarinafurubacka]

@@savannahjan_1021Yes, same. The idea of *what* Indrid is gets explored a lot in the Newkirk's research - even more in their Patreon than what has gotten into Hellier so far. The story behind everything seems even more crazy than "just another alien with a loving message", but I've only heard those more interesting ideas through the Newkirks, based on Keelian ideas, and Greenberg's book etc...

@@twogirlsoneghost I live in Florida, there’s a good story on the Don Cesar hotel in St Pete, or the ghosts at the Tampa Theatre in downtown, or the haunted ghosts of the cigar city mafia from Ybor City.

The events from John Keel's books indeed took place in 1966 as correctly stated in the video (and not '1996', as stated on the video's info). 'The Mothman Prophecies' is an eery, nicely written book and so is the somewhat fictionalized, but greatly written and acted and filmed 2001 movie. John Keel went into the original '66 reporting as a complete non believer in UFOs and the paranormal but came out of it completely turned around. An even more mind boggling book of his is 1970's 'Why UFOs - Operation Trojan Horse', which deals in detail about all of those subjects and connections.

The language kinda reminds me of the Egyptian hieroglyphs.
