Silenced by the men in black?
When you think of men in black, you automatically think of Will Smith and others fighting alien hordes in a broad comedy. Most reports of the real men in black are anything but comedic or pleasant, and usually involve weird men in black flashing nebulous government ids and driving brand new model cars completely in black to put pressure on any UFO witnesses. There are numerous examples of men in black intimidation, but I'll focus on one incident involving the infamous mothman sightings of point pleasant.
In the mid to late sixities in the sleepy town of point pleasant, sightings of an enormous creature with piercing red eyes were coming in at a frantic rate, the press dubbed the creature 'the mothman'. Quickly adding to the hysteria were the arrival of the mysterious men in black. Mary Hyre, reporter for the nearby The Athens Messenger had done several stories about the mysterious mothman and its connection with old abandoned TNT munitions plant outside of point pleasant.
Soon she reported she was followed by dark automobiles, and was paid a visit by mysterious men in black who pressured her to drop her work with the mothman. Mary refused to be intimitaded by her visitors and they left. Soon after, Mary had passed away of a heart ailment, even though she had no history of heart problems.
Was Mary silenced by the men in black? Mary's close friend, paranormal writer John Keel, hinted that Mary had hit upon some fantastic connection with the mothman, and was silenced by the sinister men in black. Adding fuel to the mystery was complete disappearance of the mothman creature from point pleasant. Just what was the supposed creature is now guesswork of history, and Mary's 'explosive' story was snuffed out just like the woman who perhaps got too close to the truth.
