引用
ジョン・キールについて書かれた本の中で最も印象的だったのは、彼が20年ほど会っていなかった親友のひとりを訪ねたときのことです。 (00:28:48)
それは1967年12月15日のことで、彼はニューヨークのアパートにいた。 そしてこの日、古い友人、実は1950年に、彼はその友人の結婚式でベストマンを務めていた。 だから、彼らはかなり長い付き合いだったが、この時点ではかなり長い間会っていなかった。そして彼はたまたま彼の家の前に現れた。 (00:29:17)
そして2人は、昼過ぎから夜中まで過ごしたんだ。キールは昔の友人だと言った。記憶があった。見た目は間違いなく彼だっ た。 何の疑問も持たなかったよ。最初にこの話をしたのはダン・ドラゼンだった。その男がアパートにいたとき、彼はそこにいた。彼は彼と握手した。彼が言うには、その男がそこにいたとき、彼はアパートの住人だったそうだ。 (00:29:42)
彼は握手した。彼は自分が、ほら、大きな手を持った男だと言った。そして、キールはその男と間違いなく打ち解けた。旧友だったからだ。 でも、それからしばらくして、キールが書いた手紙を送ってきたんだ。 それでね、彼はそれを説明できないんだ。彼が言うには、キールはメイシーズにいて、そこに男の奥さんがいた。彼は、ああ、元気かい?と言ったら、その男の奥さんがいた。 (00:30:05)
彼は言った、ああ、元気かい?それから、あなたのご主人をちょっと前に見かけましたよ。奥さんは彼に、ごめんなさい、亡くなりました。心臓発作で亡くなったの。キールが、それはいつ?彼女は1965年の7月だと言った。キールは、そんなはずはないと言った。私が彼に会ったのは1967年の11月、2年以上後のことです」。 (00:30:31)
彼女はかなり憤慨して、ジョン、私が知ってると思わないの? (00:30:38)
その時、私はそこにいた。試練の全てを経験したんだ。それで、とにかく、彼は手紙に書いたんだ、キールはね。そのせいで、眠れぬ夜を過ごしたと。 ダン・ドラッツェンとは30年以上の付き合いだ。 私は彼を非常に尊敬している。私は彼のことを文句のつけようのない誠実な人間だと思っている。だから、彼がこの人物に会って、その人物が後に亡くなっていたことがわかったという話は、文献にある他の話と一致しているんだ。そして、文献にある他の話と関連しているものが、実はたくさんあるのです。 (00:31:22)

Here he focuses on Keel's most famous investigation: the Mothman sightings and related precognitions around Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the mid-1960s. In 2002, a film was made based on Keel's book, The Mothman Prophecies. Raynes points out that the actual investigation was more complex than was revealed in the movie. He describes his own research into this case as well as that of others. In one related, and well-documented, episode, Keel had a lengthy visit from a friend who was deceased. Raynes describes his own efforts to communicate with Keel after Keel's death in 2009.

Thinking Allowed Conversations on the leading edge of knowledge and discovery with psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove Hello and welcome. I'm Jeffrey Mishlove. Today we'll be exploring the legacy of the Mothman and the legacy of John A. Keele, the author of The Mothman Prophecies. My guest today is Brent Rains, who has been involved in ufology since the age of 14, and that was 55 years ago. He is author of Visitors from Hidden Realms, On the Edge of Reality, Dream Weavers, ago. (00:00:59)
He is author of Visitors from Hidden Realms, On the Edge of Reality, Dream Weavers, The Mastering of Time and Space, and most recently, John A. Keele, The Man, the Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries. He is also editor of Alternate Perceptions, an online magazine founded in 1985. It's been online since 2001 and is currently on issue number 290. Brent lives in Waynesboro, Tennessee, and now I'll switch over to the internet video. (00:01:35)
Welcome Brent, it's a pleasure to be with you today. Well, Jeff, it's certainly a pleasure and an honor to be a guest on your show. You've been involved in the field of ufology ever since you were a teenager, which is a long time now. Today we're going to focus on The Mothman Prophecies, John Keele's famous book and the legacy of John Keele himself. I think one of the first things that we should book and the legacy of John Keele himself. (00:02:07)
I think one of the first things that we should call attention to, because some of our viewers will undoubtedly have seen the film The Mothman Prophecies that came out in 2002, is that that film doesn't really tell the story that John Keele wrote about. No, it really doesn't. There was a lot more to it. I did talk with Keele after the movie came out on the phone, and he said that he was happy that it created the atmosphere of how it felt at the time during his investigation and what they were going through, the anomalous activity that occurred. But he said it had that Hollywood touch to it. But he was pleased activity that occurred. (00:02:53)
But he said it had that Hollywood touch to it. But he was pleased with it himself. I'm under the impression now, it's been a long time since I've seen the movie, and it deals with the intuition that something terrible was going to happen, and then the Silver Bridge collapsed, 46 people were killed. But as I recall, the movie doesn't really make much of the collapsed, 46 people were killed. (00:03:15)
But as I recall, the movie doesn't really make much of the many appearances of the creature referred to as the Mothman that occurred in that Ohio River Valley. Right. There's a whole history of many, for years, paranormal activity through that area. This was the part that caught his attention. In fact, he was in the area of West Virginia at the time, investigating. He was interested in all sorts of unusual stories. One at the at the time, investigating. (00:03:48)
He was interested in all sorts of unusual stories. One at the time was a story that was in the newspapers a few years earlier about a family that owned a cat that had these appendages that were kind of like wings. By coincidence, while he was in West Virginia investigating that, these four young people near Point Pleasant claimed they had encountered what later became referred to as the Mothman. That's when he got involved, and he encountered what later became referred to as the Mothman. (00:04:13)
That's when he got involved, and he made, I think in 1967, about five different trips to the Point Pleasant area. He even sky-watched on nearby hills to see if he could catch a glimpse of some of the UFO activity, or the Mothman, or whatever. Originally, it was called simply The Bird. But at the time, Batman was a popular TV program, and some journalists decided in an article to call it The Mothman. (00:04:44)
So that's how that came about. But Kiel had some very interesting experiences doing these investigations. He realized a lot of the Mothman witnesses, UFO witnesses, were having unusual psychic experiences, poltergeist activity breaking out. He'd even come to the conclusion that ufology should be a branch of parapsychology. I actually was lucky enough in working on this book, John A. Kiel, The Man, the Missing, the Ongoing Mysteries, that I wrote and working on this book, John A. (00:05:19)
Kiel, The Man, the Missing, the Ongoing Mysteries, that I wrote and had published in 2019. I reached out to Dan Drazen, who is a documentary producer who currently lives in California, but at the time he was in New York City. He'd recently seen a UFO, and he approached John Kiel at one of his talks. Kiel invited him to come with him to West Virginia. He met John Kiel at one of his talks. (00:05:43)
Kiel invited him to come with him to West Virginia. He met quite a number of the people. He had plans of making a documentary for a PBS affiliate in New York City. He had one of the people come down there with him. He saw strange objects. He had some very unusual experiences himself. Unfortunately, at the last minute, the company decided they weren't going to fund the project, but he was ready to do that. This experience originally, they weren't going to fund the project, but he was ready to do that. (00:06:15)
This experience originally, Kiel thought, back in 66, when he started investigating these things full-time for a couple or so years, that he had the standard idea, as a lot of people do, that it was nuts and bolts ET visitations. But then he realized that there were so many other complex elements to this, and certainly Point Pleasant was one area that he came to realize quite quickly that there were some things that were really, really strange. He even observed one night as he was there were some things that were really, really strange. (00:06:49)
He even observed one night as he was on a hilltop by himself. It was early morning, and he's listening to a New York radio station eating a candy bar. Suddenly, almost like a classic flying saucer, just whizzed by his automobile and seemed to go down into a gully just beyond his car. He said, admittedly, although he was used to walking through graveyards and desolate places and being up late at night and sky-watching, this unnerved him. He locked all the doors and was afraid something else was going to sky-watching, this unnerved him. (00:07:22)
He locked all the doors and was afraid something else was going to happen. But anyway, there's a lot to the Keel story. I had the pleasure of actually, as a young teenager, writing him for the first time in October 1969 and beginning correspondence with him. I asked him at one point, how could I investigate these things myself? I certainly was developing quite an interest. I had a little mimeograph newsletter, which I actually used to exchange quite an interest. (00:07:54)
I had a little mimeograph newsletter, which I actually used to exchange copies with him of his anomaly newsletter that he put out at the time, dealing with a lot of the findings that he was uncovering and sometimes of newspaper clippings he would include in it. (00:08:05)
We exchanged correspondence and over the years, sometimes phone calls and such. I developed a great deal of respect for him and his approach and getting out into the field and actually meeting the people and hearing the whole story and doing what I guess you call an unstructured interview where you listen to the story you came to hear, say a flying saucer landing or something. (00:08:31)
Then you ask him about other things unusual that have happened to them in the course of their lifetime. A lot of times you hear all sorts of other very anomalous experiences that a lot of the ufologists at the time when they go and interview witnesses, they're not looking for. It could have been a poltergeist manifestation, a cryptid type thing, an apparition, a ghost. In fact, in 1970, been a poltergeist manifestation, a cryptid type thing, an apparition, a ghost. (00:08:59)
In fact, in 1970, he wrote in one of his books, Strange Creatures from Time and Space, paraphrasing here, but it was to effect that ghost aliens take your pick. I'm not sure there was a whole lot of difference. The reports of aliens often have apparitional appearances and so when I asked him what I should do, he recommended a book I read on apparitions. He recommended I I asked him what I should do, he recommended a book I read on apparitions. (00:09:25)
He recommended I study studies on, you know, hauntings and Marian apparitions, religious experiences. He felt they all had very similar elements. And he was really one of the very first people to make this connection that such diverse things as cryptozoology and ufology and parapsychology, religious miracles, were all part of a single phenomenon. Well, he was certainly one of the early pioneers who really were all part of a single phenomenon. (00:10:01)
Well, he was certainly one of the early pioneers who really was making that clear at a time when ufology wasn't popular at all to write and speak of such things because a lot of the researchers were quite biased in their point of view. And, you know, they were really essentially only looking for confirmation bias. If they consulted with a psychologist about a witness, it was simply to find out if the person was sane or not. But with a psychologist about a witness, it was simply to find out if the person was sane or not. (00:10:28)
But really, as we realize more and more now, consciousness and physics are the main areas we've got to study and see how it all interconnects and at a deeper, you know, there's so much to unpack here. I mean, you've got psychology, you've got parapsychology, you've got physics, quantum physics, classic physics, and all of these areas have to be all studied together, multidisciplinary, and a lot of people just aren't getting along. You know, the cryptozoologist multidisciplinary, and a lot of people just aren't getting along. (00:10:55)
You know, the cryptozoologist doesn't want to share his information with a ufologist, like, that's a waste of my time, you know. And they look at it as a separate discipline, when in reality, we should be looking at all of this as Keel did, as potentially interrelated. One of the very interesting facts I learned from reading your book about John Keel is that in the city of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, they hold an annual Mothman Festival each year. Yes, they've been doing that, oh, since I think a they hold an annual Mothman Festival each year. (00:11:26)
Yes, they've been doing that, oh, since I think a little, maybe 2001 or 2002. And Keel actually attended one of them back in 2003, when they unveiled the Mothman statue off of the main street of Point Pleasant. And at those gatherings, I mean, that it's unbelievable, a little town of maybe about 5,000 people, suddenly there's over 10,000. (00:11:49)
