Factual error: At the end, it says the cause of the collapse has never been determined. It was caused by the failure of an eyebar in a suspension chain. Also due to too much weight on the bridge.
Factual error: John supposedly goes to Chicago to talk to a mothman expert, but it shows the two of them walking into The Mellon Institute which is actually in Pittsburgh.
Other mistake: John explains to his friend Ed that, within the last two weeks since the accident, Mary has undergone brain surgery to remove the tumor in her right temporal lobe and that she is undergoing chemotherapy. This surgery alone would necessitate shaving at least half of Mary's head, and the chemotherapy would prevent her hair from growing out again for months. But, in the immediate next scene, we see John at Mary's side as she recovers in the hospital, and her red hair with natural hairline is as full and lush as in the beginning of the film.
Connie Parker: Looks like he's been dead about eight hours. He died of exposure. What made you come out here?
John Klein: He called me.
Connie Parker: When?
John Klein: I didn't like the way he sounded.
Connie Parker: When did he call you, John?
John Klein: About an hour ago.
Trivia: John Keel wrote the book "The Mothman Prophecies." In the movie, the character Alexander Leek, is Keel spelled backwards.
