The last 20 or so minutes of the movie establish, build up to and then resolve a conflict that has nothing to do with the rest of the story. It's as though they couldn't find any conflict in the main mystery so they had to invent one to make the third act have anything resembling resolution. In all honesty the Keel book this movie is sourced from does somewhat the same thing. I enjoyed The Mothman Prophecies movie enough to find a copy of the book, and I would say isn't worth the read (maybe the first half or third at most). The book starts off with a decent premise, but lacks any conflict to establish direction. The majority of the book goes along as ... "we went out this night wish such and such person and saw such and such orbs" ... which is okay the first 10 times you read that. A version of Mothman would be more interesting if the source material was more closely followed with the main character Keel and some of his experiences in the book. The SciFi T.V. version of this only exists in my opinion to see Jewel Staite in a bikini, then you turn it off.

This was my point about the book as well. I understand that Mothman wasn't a fiction book, but that doesn't change my view that reading the book was a waste of time if you don't believe in the paranormal things it attempts to investigate.
