Men in Black (MIB)
Reported entities & creatures
Individuals dressed in black said to visit witnesses to discourage them from talking or to retrieve evidence. The legend was born in the 1950s with Albert Bender’s accounts, then through writer John Keel. The 1997 film Men in Black turned it into a comic motif. They are seen alternately as real agents or as folklore.
