Point Pleasant, WV Part 1

Point Pleasant is a small close-knit community just across the Ohio River from Gallipolis. Like many little towns in West Virgina, it’s quiet and keeps to itself. It’s surrouned by woodlands and winding roads once these roads get you to next small town the cycle repeats. Also like many town in WV it has a history of strange happens, it would start with sightings of the Mothman in 1966 and end with the collapse of the Silver Bridge in ’67.

Some say the Mothman was a harbinger of death and destruction? That remains to be seen and is still widely discussed. However on December 15, 1967 a disaster would befall Point Pleasant and afterwards the Mothman would seem to fade away or perhaps just forgotten.
