Do you believe that any are real? Would you consider The Grinning Man, and Indrid Cold to be one in the same? Feel Free to Comment.

"The Grinning Man is an obscure figure associated with Alien Lore. Some scholars and observers believe he is an alien, and others that he was one of the government's Men in Black. Indrid Cold is thus far his best known incarnation. He has been investigated by notable paranormal author John A. Keel and ufologist James Moseley."

"This leads us to a wild and utterly fascinating theory that I stumbled across, which implies that Indrid Cold in particular (and Grinning Men in general) may be delegates of a sort of paranormal — or possibly intergalactic — police force that spontaneously appear in the area of anomalous events in order to keep the peace or simply to observe the proceedings as they unfold"


"Another hypothesis speculates that Cold might have been a representative of the notoriously secretive group known as the Men In Black, many of which were allegedly encountered throughout the region during the Mothman flap".

A lot of sightings of these people/aliens/beings or whatever seemed to have happened around the same time that the Mothman Phenomenon was happening, right?

"It would be due to this — possibly coincidental — incident that the Grinning Man phenomenon would become forever associated with UFOs and extraterrestrial entities. While this might be the first incident that helped solidify this creature’s connection to the realm of ufology, it would not be the last."

"The second series of incidents that Keel credits as being part of the Grinning Man phenomenon also occurred in 1966; this time during the infamous Mothman’s reign of terror in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. While the Grinning Man often gets lost in furor surrounding this infamous winged beast, for researchers who have studied this astounding series of events one figure looms almost as tall as the Mothman itself… that figure is the Grinning Man who called himself “Indrid Cold.”"

"To my knowledge, The Grinning Man may actually be a different entity/phenomenon, however, some (but not all or even most) paranormal and fortean enthusiasts are linking these together. Indrid Cold has been linked to Mothman sightings - and so has our Grinning Man, only for some accounts, Grinning Man showed up prior to Mothman and Indrid Cold. As well, Grinning Man has been described as being much more like MIBs than Indrid Cold has..".

SOURCE: Indrid Cold

"You might expect that frightened residents would avoid the TNT area; the opposite happened. Saturday night in Point Pleasant now had a diversion far superior to the local movie house. Dozens of cars flocked to the site nightly in hopes of catching a glimpse of the red-eyed ‘monster from outer space’. If anything, this attests to the widely-held local belief that whatever the UFO was, it was not dangerous. One officer told us that, at times, there were so many sightseers that police officers turned out to direct traffic."

"The reaction of residents to the mysterious visitors that followed was not so laid back. The Men in Black were seen and are remembered as truly malevolent individuals, despite their sometimes amusing quirks. More than 10 years after their last visitation, those who had invited the MIBs into their homes still remembered the very real feeling of danger in their presence."

"Of course, MIBs were not unique to Point Pleasant; they had been well documented in earlier UFO lore and were being researched. Unlike Mothman, the MIBs sent a shockwave of fear through their contactees. As chronicled by Keel, they arrived in shiny black cars which, like their equally shiny shoes, seemed impervious to the weather."

Some MIB Stuff:

"Throughout history, MiB have been primarily associated with UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena because of the simple fact that these phenomena are primarily aerial events in the atmosphere and widely viewed by many witnesses. Therefore, when reports of MiB follow reports of UFOs or extraterrestrials, they are given more credence and attract a wider audience. But make no mistake, MiB have been monitoring, analyzing and researching every type of anomalous and paranormal phenomena imaginable."

"Since the first reports of MiB, many have tried to discover the true identity and agenda of these dark agents, with little success. And for those who do know their true identity, either by association or as a “subject” of one of their operations, it has been strongly suggested that the means utilized to maintain total suppression of all information is disturbingly successful."

 

SOURCE: Men in Black - Unmasked

"MIB. Long before the 1997 hit movie Men in Black (MIB) was a gleam in the screenwriter’s eye, MIB had already become a commonplace in UFO literature. Shadowy figures, invariably clothed in black suits and usually wearing dark sunglasses, would appear at the doors of those who’d had UFO sightings, shot photos of them or recovered crash debris or other physical evidence. They’d speak in weird mechanical voices and were reported to do some pretty amazing things, including crossing muddy fields without getting their highly polished shoes dirty, operate in rain without getting wet, plus reading peoples’ minds. Report after report spoke of their emerging from or returning to large, intimidating black cars, often decades old Cadillacs and Lincoln Town Cars, one observed racing, at night, lights blazing, up a mountain known to have no roads. So far, so weird."

 

SOURCE: MIB (Men In Black) & UFOs--The Real Story!

"The real men in black are claimed to appear after a UFO sighting. They are strange looking men wearing black suits and hats, and are said to be either very short or very tall and to wear wigs and make-up. They are also said to arrive in either very new or new-looking, old style Cadillacs. They claim to be either from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or some other secret agency."

"The men in black question or interrogate the UFO spotters and threaten them not to reveal anything they have seen. The men then disappear as quickly and mysteriously as they had appeared. Most of the theories regarding these men tend to lean towards alien beings. This theory cannot be proved, and there have only been 40 documented accounts of encounters."

Mothman/Indrid Cold/Grinning Man Quote From Website

"Many see the Mothman as a harbinger of death and disaster, because it was reportedly seen on or around the Silver Bridge shortly before it fell."

"Also Mothman was never seen again after the bridge disaster, at least according to some."

"It also seems like the mysterious Indrid Cold has also vanished."

"While there may continue to be reports of the strange Grinning Man, the name Indrid Cold is rarely attached to the stories."

"It would seem that Indrid Cold has entered the realm of urban myth, under the general name of ‘Grinning Man."

"So who was Indrid Cold?"

"Some say that Indrid Cold was, in fact the Mothman himself."

"I’m not really sure why. Maybe just because they seemed to appear and disappear at about the same time."

"After all, Mothman was a bizarre creature and anything but human in appearance."

"I think Woodrow Derenberger saw something very strange, told the story, and it has now become an urban legend."

"There is that strange phone call that the journalist John Keel received though. I don’t know if that was the “real” Indrid Cold or someone who had heard the story and decided to prank Keel."

"Whatever the case may be, Indrid Cold is here to stay, under the name Grinning Man."

 This is by far my Favorite Web Site that I have come across that has to do with the MiB, by the way... I think that it's the second one under the MiB links, too... I should have made it the first... It won't let me "Copy". So, I can't "Quote" any of it, so you will have to look for yourself, if you are interested.

A Little More MIB Stuff..

"Not only that, and as I also pointed out in my lecture, whereas most people assume the MIB only ever target and terrorize people in Ufology, that’s very far from the truth. As I told the audience, there have been MIB encounters at Loch Ness, Scotland, involving cryptozoologists and eye-witnesses to the monsters of the loch."

"I have several cases on file where people using Ouija-boards received visits of the MIB kind. There are demonic parallels. There is the time-travel theory to explain the MIB and their weird antics. And there are even Women in Black – a subject on which, right now, I’m writing a full-length book."

"In other words, the MIB puzzle is a wide and varied one that extends far outside of the confines of Ufology."

SOURCE: MIB: Alive And Kicking | Mysterious Universe

"The MIB are thought to be associated with UFO related incidents only, this is incorrect. MIB have been seen after paranormal activity of ghosts, poltergeist, monsters, and energy forms and people reading up on UFO activity, Ouija Boards, Devil worshiping, MIB seem to cover all anomalous phenomena. MIB appeared in 1960’s at the famous Mothman sighting in West Virginia at Point Pleasant and several UFO’s were seen around the same time."

"Ever since the early 1950s, long before the first "Men in Black" movie hit the silver screen in 1997, men dressed in identical black suits, hats and sunglasses, claiming to be government agents, have reportedly shown up in black cars at the homes or offices of people who reported UFO sightings"

 

SOURCE: The Real 'MEN IN BLACK' - Complete Accounts | Humans Are Free

"Reports of Men in Black (MIB) first become popular in the 1950's and 1960’s, though similar sightings have been recorded for centuries, with earlier accounts often associated with demonic or witchcraft beliefs."

"Modern era MIB sightings are chiefly associated with UFO sightings, beginning in 1947. Mysterious looking men, often dressed in black suits, fedora hats and trench coats, wearing sunglasses and seen driving black Cadillac sedans have reportedly followed and conducted surveillance on UFO witnesses. Witnesses claim MIB have visited their homes, possessed detailed knowledge about them, have often tried to discount their UFO sighting and warned them not to discuss their UFO experiences."

 "ND: Some people have suggested the MIB are government agents. Does evidence exist to support this theory?"

"NR: There’s absolutely no doubt at all that at least some Men in Black do originate with official agencies. For example, in the book I cite several significant cases from the 1960s – including one from England and one from the United States – where people had classic encounters of the MIB variety, with the MIB turning up in a black car, wearing black suit and hat, and making a veiled comment to the witness about not speaking publicly on their encounter. However, the significant thing is that thanks to the Freedom of Information Acts in each country, we now have the files on both events. In the English case, the documents identify the Man in Black as being attached to the British Royal Air Force’s Provost & Security Services. The P&SS get involved in cases ranging from espionage and counter-intelligence, to national security issues. In the US case, the files identify the MIB as agents of the FBI. So, clearly some cases of MIB are indeed government-originated. But these incidents are far outweighed by the weirder, Albert Bender-type encounters with the MIB."

"ND: Another scenario suggests the Men in Black are aliens themselves. What do you think about that?"

"NR: Well, as bizarre as that may sound, the fact is that most of the Men in Black do look very, very odd, and they act equally as odd, too! For example, many of the MIB are described as only being about five-feet-tall. They have either olive-coloured skin or almost completely white-coloured skin. They have oddly shaped, and strangely spaced, eyes and are painfully thin, almost to the point of looking practically anorexic. On top of that, they don’t seem accustomed to our ways, customs and languages to the degree they should if they’re from the government. They also seem to have the ability to literally appear and disappear – and I do mean literally! This has all led to the theory that perhaps the MIB are human-alien hybrids. In other words, creatures that – with a bit of camouflage, such as pulled-down hats, large wrap-around sunglasses, turned-up trench-coat collars, and largely only surfacing at night and keeping in the shadows – look enough like us to where they can move among us, and perhaps even infiltrate us, if they’re careful about how they do it. The imagery is kind of like an underground alien army working its way into our lives, slowly and subtly, in other words."
