Something waits where the rivers meet… 🌫️ I’ve been deep in the history, folklore, tragedies, hauntings, and high strangeness of Point Pleasant while working on my newest book.
This isn’t just a story about Mothman.
It’s a journey into ancient mound-builder lands, frontier bloodshed, riverboat monster stories, forgotten cemeteries, ghost stories whispered along the Ohio River and the strange shadow that settled over the town during those unforgettable 13 months of sightings.
From the Battle of 1774… to the Silver Bridge tragedy, Men in Black, TNT area, flooded riverbanks, old saloons, and eerie encounters still reported today… this may be the most layered and mysterious project I’ve ever written.
Some towns have history.
Point Pleasant has legends that still breathe after dark.
More soon. 🕯👁️🖤📖🕯
