The phenomena of Indrid Cold is one of the many supernatural occurances to affect the town and vicinity of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1967 - 1968.
Indeed, at least 500 people reported disturbances of varying types - poltergiest activity, ghost sightings, UFO sightings, stalkings, mothman and MIB sightings and corespondance with a self - professed extra-terrestrial named Indrid Cold.
Indrid Cold is credited with prediciting a power failure to the town on the date of 15 December, at 1 pm; no power outage occured however, this was instead the date and time of the Ohio river bridge collapse.
Indrid Cold appears to be a seperate entity from the mothmen in much of what I've read, and I think he made it into the movie due to the "power failure"(cryptic terminology?) prediction.
I've never heard of him referred to outside of the Point Pleasant case, has anyone else?
