can i buy Pregabalin in canada Mary Hyre’s next letter to John was only a day later. A lot was happening. John marked the envelope “Checkered shirt,” and there is indeed a sighting of a prowler in a checkered shirt. (A footnote for newbies: Men in checkered shirts appear elsewhere in UFO lore; Chapter 14 of Strange Creatures from Time and Space gives a few examples.) There are also numerous UFO sightings, and the news that Roger Scarberry has gone missing. As Mary says, “Well I told you things would break when you left.”
I appreciate these postings. Being able to read Mary’s letters to John really fills in the backstory for Mothman Prophecies. There was clearly more happening in the backround than John could include. Point Pleasant seemed to have been a nexus for everything weird.

Very interesting, as actual sources on the origin of the ‘checkered man’ legend are almost non-existent, but here we have one. Looking forward to whatever else you find on this particular aspect of the high strangeness that invaded Point Pleasant and Keel’s and Hyre’s lives.
Best regards,

Theo — It’s not much of a report, is it? Just a third hand sighting of a prowler. But John must have already been noticing checkered shirts in unusual contexts, since he noted it on the envelope.

Hi Doug,
Exactly, Keel must have seen, read or heard something somewhere, perhaps repeatedly, that steered his interest towards what was to become the ‘checkered shirt’ phenomenon. Hopefully one day you’ll find what piqued his interest in the Keel Archive!
Best regards,
Theo
