Mothman in Pictures

A bunch of photos from the Mothman Festival of last weekend, which was a great time!

Mothman Road Trip...

Heading off tonight with good friends Ken Gerhard and Jen Devillier to the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Only 16 hours of driving each way, LOL, piece of cake!!

Absolute Bullshit!

This is absolute bullshit: Over at "The Anomalist," there is a link to my recent review of the "Dogman Symposium," which was held in Defiance, Ohio last weekend.

The Anomalist says:

QUOTE:

"Nick Redfern give us his take on the conference recently held in Defiance, Ohio concerning the werewolf-like beings that are being reported in the American Midwest in The Dogman Symposium-Reviewed. Not surprisingly, he said a howling good time was had by all and the speakers were all terrific. Mr. Redfern’s review may be dead on, but it would be nice to hear the opinions of an attendee and not an actual (compensated?) speaker at the event."
END OF QUOTE.

The person who wrote this pile of complete crap was "MM." That's all I know of who they are.
Their comment about being "compensated" is absolute bullshit and clearly implies a biased review on my part.

For the record, no-one - at all - was paid.

Good friend Ken Gerhard put the entire event on out of his own pocket. It was an extremely brave thing for Ken to do and so we all agreed to do it without any fee at all.

In fact, me, Ken, Ken's girlfriend Jen, and Lyle Blackburn drove 18 hours in a car so that Ken wouldn't have to pay flights costs.

If "MM" had contacted me before posting that total shit, I could have told them no-one was compensated - we did it all for free, and we were totally fine about that because we all knew how much Ken had dedicated to this and put into it.

Of course, MM didn't bother to find out if we were compensated. Instead, they put the "compensated?" comment in the mind of the reader, when they should have checked in with me first. VERY shitty.

Had that person contacted me before posting that crap and the sarcastic "compensated?" comment, I could have set the record straight immediately. But they didn't. Which says a great deal about them.

The Dogman Symposium - In Photos

Here's a bunch of photos from the weekend, at the Dogman Symposium at Defiance, Ohio - some shots from the drive there, from the meet-the-speakers event, the gig itself, dinner on the Saturday night, and a visit to the site of the 1972 creature/"werewolf" encounter in town  at the old railroad tacks. An excellent time, and many thanks to good mate Ken Gerhard for all his hard work in putting the conference together!

Hummel Park Terror...

A cool new article from good friend Jen Devillier, which you can find here, and which begins as follows:

"Located in Omaha, Nebraska; this is one of the scariest places I’ve ever visited. During the day it seems very benign and like a normal park. However at night, the feeling is VERY different.  I’ve been to this park a handful of times and each time, I had experiences. In this article, I will share with you what I’ve experienced at this terrifying park in the heart of Nebraska..."

On The Road

A few photos from my travels of the past week, to Illinois, Austin, and San Antonio: hanging out with good friends Ken Gerhard and Jen Devillier, and also with MUFON legend Walt Andrus, authors Rosemary Ellen Guiley and April Slaughter, and Steve Busti, of the Austin-based Museum of the Weird.

Dark Night Haunting

Jen Devillier is a friend of mine who lives here in Texas and who has a book out right now that I recommend to one and all: Dark Night Haunting: The Life of a Paranormal Investigator, which is just the type of book I like, namely an in-depth, first-person study of the paranormal.

 

And here's the blurb for Jen's book, which will give you a good idea of its contents:

 

"This is a book about one woman's life and her experiences with the paranormal that led her to become a Paranormal Investigator. From beginning to end Jennifer Devillier's story is one that will explain just how normal someone with Psychic Abilities can be. If you have ever had experiences of your own that you could not explain or felt out of place because no one believed you, this book will let you know that you are not at all alone. Join Jennifer on her journey and see how one woman's life takes it's unexpected twists and turns with all the paranormal experiences that come along with it. Remember, we are NEVER alone."

 

And with those words I fully agree!

Jen's book is an excellent account of what it means to become immersed in the world of the unexplained and to study it, appreciate it, and follow the trail in search of amazing answers of the supernatural kind.

 

And here's where you can purchase a copy of Jen's book.
