WOW!

Earlier this week, I ran into my friend and local Sycamore businessman Sean Kellett. He encouraged me to post an update on Phenomenology Research Professionals current project, the study we plan to complete in 2026. Since this is the anniversary of the first reported Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant, WV, it seems apropos to update you today.

In March of 2024, we began building the framework of another psychological study similar to "Bridging the Tragedy," which we completed in 2022 about the aftermath of the original Mothman phenomena, The 1967 Silver Bridge Disaster, and post-traumatic growth - the good we often experience after negative life experiences. Like our last book, we are exploring the connections between trauma and paranormal activity in the lives of those who have experienced both phenomena. Since 2024, our travels have taken us from Illinois to Wisconsin, Ohio, West Virginia, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Massachusetts, and California. We've had the honor of interviewing April Anmei Tillery, Corie Wild, Dr. Dean Bertram, Gail Hayssen, Gary Osborn, Dr. Heather Elizabeth Osborn, Jessiy Hawthorne, Kathryn Bignall, Melanie Kirchdorfer, Rev. Michael J Carter, Monroe Nevels, Rand Bell, Robert Kalil, and Tonya Madia. It has been an extraordinary experience, and we are grateful for the wonderful stories you've all shared with us.

These stories include UFO abductions, psychic phenomena, "Little People," poltergeist activity, Kundalini experiences, ghostly apparitions, burial mound spiritual phenomena, alien visitations, The Rendlesham Forest Incident, December 1980, possession, entity attachments, and precognition. It has been a fascinating project with some amazing individuals.

We have completed all but one of the interview transcripts, and the final one is about 70% complete. We have also completed 95% of the first step of the data analysis, which we will complete before the end of this month. We've cleared our schedules of public appearances except for podcast and radio show requests for the remainder of the calendar year, as the Holidays are nearly upon us. It is our intent to complete the book in time for the 2026 Mothman Festival.

We appreciate your support, and we look forward to seeing you on the road in 2026.
