The terrible collapse of the Silver Bridge that connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia and Gallipolis, Ohio, is the main subject of this passage from John Keel’s files. Keel’s reactions to the December 15, 1967, disaster and what he perceives as strange coincidences and fulfilled predictions are interesting. So is the information about “mysterious men in […]

“He had a complicated life!” John Keel site manager Doug Skinner says of his late friend, prefacing a weird set of Keel’s entries headed “W.VA.-ANOTHER MIB.” The “star” of these pages is one “Jack Brown,” an individual whose appearance, equipment, and antics could form the type description of a “Man in Black.” The human reactions […]

“There are weird and perhaps frightening days ahead for all of us,” says John Keel in this letter to his reporter contact about “the strange doings in Point Pleasant, WV.” Possibly the missive’s core feature is the stunning prophecy of a likely “disaster in the Pt. Pleasant area, which will not seem to be related […]

Upfront, site manager Doug Skinner provides useful context which those new to John Keel’s personal journals will appreciate. Be sure to read the “odd letter from Gray Barker,” whether before or after the bewildering array of nuttiness that ensues in the October 23, 1967, Keel post. Now it’s not been clear whether John ever talked […]

Well, John Keel’s record of the Long Island contactees continues, and Keel site manager Doug Skinner’s title is apt. It’s also taken from Keel’s own remarks in this post, made about only a portion of the nutty events related here. Be sure to check out “Jaye’s sketch of Agar,” which Doug links to in his […]

Doug Skinner concludes the strange and–well, whacky–saga of John Keel’s relationships with the Long Island contactees and, through them, their alien/android handlers. Nutty to the end, it’s hard to form any conclusions as to what exactly was going on. Doug Skinner is surely correct in assuming some of the humans were “coordinating” their stories, but […]

“The Men In Black are probably waiting for me, too,” says John Keel about the events he experienced back in 1967 in what must be one of the strangest sagas in all of ufology. The story of Keel’s relationship with the “Long Island contactees” and, through them, with alien/android beings and other assorted weirdoes began […]

Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and its resident monster, Mothman, appear in this installment of John Keel’s continuing Long Island saga. Included are warnings that bring powerfully to mind the collapse of the Silver Bridge less than three months after this September 28, 1967 entry; notably, Keel is told not to go to that state. There’s […]

In these two posts, John Keel attempted to make some sense out of what was going on with the local Contactees, and the ability of the phenomenon–whatever it is–to defy easy rationalization. In our title episode, Keel explains to the aliens his purpose and procedure for cataloguing their activities, to gain their cooperation in answering […]

Well, the eccentric Princess Moon Owl has come back into the John Keel Long Island Contactee saga, and John’s none too happy about it. More concerning is the strange story Jaye Paro relates about two MIB visitors who “depend on power” and make threats against “the four children.” We’ve not heard of these kids since […]
