Brent,
I promoted your Keel book again. When I introduced Richard Hatem, I held up your book & talked about the conversation you had with Sandra Martin, about how thrilled Keel was with Hatem's script. Hatem loved it as part of his introduction.

Editor’s Note: Richard Hatem was the man who wrote the script for the movie version of Keel’s Mothman Prophecies. Though the movie had untrue elements like Keel being married at one point and saving a female Sheriff from the icy waters of the Ohio River during the very real collapse of the Silver Bridge (he was actually in New York City when it happened), Keel did share in a phone conversation with me how the part where the phone cord was pulled out of the wall but kept on ringing did happen. He said he liked the script because it generated a very similar atmosphere or feeling he had when he made those investigative trips to West Virginia in 1967.
