Point Pleasant, WV

HISTORY'S HOSTAGE
In this moth's-eye view across the convergence of the Ohio and Great Kanawha rivers, tiny Point Pleasant cowers at the edge of West Virginia's green wilds. History links MOTHMAN to an old Indian curse on the town.

Swamp

PERILOUS PROPERTY
Ready to swallow up the unwary sojourner, watery niches drenched with peril riddle McClintic WMA.

HELL'S HOMEPLACE
A brush-choked maze of swamp and forest adjacent to Point Pleasant, MOTHMAN's reign of terror began here at McClintic Wildlife Management Area.

McClintic Access Road

McCLINTIC ROAD
This is the very road down which MOTHMAN chases cars. Industrial fallout in the background is often blamed for the MOTHMAN mutation.

Beer Box

RISKY TRADITIONS
Despite the dangers, revelry still occurs in the spooky MOTHMAN backwoods, as this old beer box attests.
