Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Bill Kousoulas, whose life-long interest in the paranormal began in the late seventies with the original “Project UFO” series that aired on Sunday night television. In 2003, he was introduced to “The Mothman Prophecies” movie, and it truly changed his life. Since then, he has read nearly all of John Keel’s research, as well as the works of related authors including Gray Barker and Andy Colvin. Since 2016, he and his wife Jaci have visited Point Pleasant, West Virginia regularly, and they have become friends with several area residents, including the late Carolin Harris, co-founder of the Mothman Festival. This episode explores not just on the mothman mystery, but the background and culture of Point Pleasant and the details behind the collapse of The Silver Bridge. Bill holds a doctorate in psychology, with a focus on post-traumatic growth. He and Jaci are currently examining the correlations between paranormal experiences and post-traumatic growth.
