    I live here and it’s awesome, we always go out into TNT area to visit the concrete mounds where he “lives”. If you drive out there and turn off your car, you can see two red lights in the air lower than plans and very close together. I’ve been a moth man fevistal Queen, and whenever anyone is by the statue we usually climb in his arms and take a pic😂❤️

    I grew up around there. I have a friend that was on that bridge and survived. He had survivors guilt until the end of his life. It was so sad.

    I live only 20 minutes from Point Pleasant. In fact, I was born there. I'm amazed that such a tiny museum like Mothman brings so many people from all over the world! The floodwall and Main Street is also a great place to play Pokemon Go!

      It was proven it was a structural problem there was no mothman nor was there ever a mothman. I've lived in point all my life. Yea the idea of him is pretty scary and neat but there was never a mothman.

    Is he evil, and when its somewhere he spreads doom there. Or does he warn us of doom by being there to scare the people off so they don't get hurt. We shall never know.

      @checkmate778 3 роки тому

      IMHO i believe that "it" is more or a warning than "evil". The bridge collapsed due to structural problems but the Mothman, water it was, was warning people a year before.

    The Battle of Point Pleasant - known as the Battle of Kanawha in some older accounts - was the only major action of Dunmore's War. It was fought on October 10, 1774, primarily between Virginia militia and Indians from the Shawnee and Mingo tribes. Along the Ohio River near modern Point Pleasant, West Virginia, Indians under the Shawnee Chief Cornstalk attacked Virginia militia under Colonel Andrew Lewis, hoping to halt Lewis's advance into the Ohio Valley. After a long and furious battle, Cornstalk retreated. After the battle, the Virginians, along with a second force led by Lord Dunmore, the Royal Governor of Virginia, marched into the Ohio Valley and compelled Cornstalk to agree to a treaty, ending the war.
