Indrid Cold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Indrid Cold (also known as the Grinning Man) is a mysterious legendary being believed to be connected to the Mothman, first encountered by Woodrow Derenberger, as reported in the John Keel non-fiction book The Mothman Prophecies. He is described as being a humanoid entity, claiming extraterrestrial origin, with an inhumanly large smile on his face.[1][2]

[edit]

Indrid Cold appears as a character in The Mothman Prophecies, a film based on John Keel's book. He has also been depicted as a character in other works of fiction, such as the podcast The Adventure Zone,[3] the video game Fallout 76, the trading card game MetaZoo,[4] and the comic book The Department of Truth. Another character named Mystery Man from the film Lost Highway is loosely based on Indrid Cold.
