Beyond the Pale Moonlight: A UFO-Mothman Encounter by Linda Sigman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I met the author at this year's Mothman Festival and enjoyed talking to her. Honestly this book is more along the lines of the zines from the 8-s and 90s. very short. It's like listening to Linda talk about her 60s era sighting of not just Mothman but associated UFOS. If you only know the Mothman story about him chasing a carload of teens from the lovers' lane by the TNT plant, there are other stories. This is one of them.

Linda tells about getting picked up for a stargazing date that ends with her and her boyfriend at the time seeing not one but two UFOS and the Mothman being near one of them (One of the theories is he is an alien) It tracks along the typical lost time UFO encounter.

There is a brief chapter about having a regression hypnosis session with the UFO group in Circleville (other people I have met. I have a weird life) but it's not included here (Other its proprietary to their website or she doesn't want to steal their thunder.) We also get a bit on Chief Cornstalk (whom she claims kinship to) and of course, the Silver Bridge collapse (another Mothman link).

It's short and what really makes it a 3.5 read is Mark's artwork. It's a very nice accompaniment and does add length to something that would be a pamphlet otherwise. THere is a host of drawings as well illustrating the encounters at the end.
