** Connie has a recurring dream, describing how she was trying to swim to saftey while drowning in a freezing river, inexplicably surrounded by presents followed by a voice saying "Wake up, number thirty seven". [[spoiler: These refer to the Silver Bride collapsing on Christmas Eve, in which Connie also falls into the river and nearly drowns. After John saves her, they find that thirty six people died.]]

Added DiffLines:

* AGodIAmNot: Certainly not said by the Mothman/Indrid Cold entity itself, but discussed by the human characters. Alexander Leek insists with Klein that the entity(entities?)'s omniscience doesn't necessarily implies godhood, being just a matter of perspective from inhabiting a higher dimensional plane.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Sergeant Connie Mills is a friendly, honest and approachable police officer. A lot of the information that John learns about the Point Pleasant Mothman encounters is due to her help and people's willingness to approach and talk to her.

* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Leek tells John that his search for answers regarding the Mothman and trying to understand what he cannot understand will only lead to ruin, with Leek explaining how his own expeirances with the Mothman effectively ruined his life. John is warned that his search for answers is putting him on the same path. It's implied that this kind of exposure is in some way responsible for Mary's death, [[spoiler:and later Gordan's.]]

* WeirdnessMagnet: The Mothman/Indrid Cold seems to get attached to individuals, and pester them when cryptic -- and not-so-cryptic -- phrases and predictions. At ''best'', all you get are harassing phone calls like the fire department chief.

It also instantly transitions from an Interstate highway to a rural highway and breaks down within walking distance of Gordon's house in Point Pleasant. A local mechanic finds nothing wrong with it and it otherwise runs flawlessly for the rest of the film.]]
