After the publication of Jadoo, John experienced a classic case of writer’s block. He wrote an article about it for the Writer’s Digest, in August, 1959. I’ve posted it over on another page, so please click to read it. Read the rest of this entry »

Mary Hyre Visits New York City
December 22nd, 2011In this report for the Ohio, Athens Messenger, Mary Hyre describes a visit to NYC. She appears with John Keel on the Long John Nebel show, interviews the enigmatic Vivenus, and attends the 1967 Congress of Scientific Ufologists. We even get a glimpse of the young James Randi, back when he gave talks at UFO conferences.

Where the Waters Mingle, 1/22/67
December 15th, 2011Mary Hyre was one of the first, and one of the most persistent, to cover Mothman and other strangeness in Point Pleasant. In her column, “Where the Waters Mingle,” in the Athens, Ohio Messenger, she regularly reported the latest sightings and speculations. I’ll post some of her columns here, from John’s files, starting with this one.

The Last Great Mysteries
November 21st, 2011Here’s a brief book proposal, which seems to be from around 1966. It got no further than this, but shows John figuring out the clearest (and most commercial) way to organize his material. The report of Russian scientists obtaining a Yeti body is news to me; maybe some Yeti scholar out there has more information.
