Mothman Statue in Point Pleasant, WV

I was lucky enough to travel to Point Pleasant to see the Mothman Statue and try some Mothman ice cream. If you ever go, I HIGHLY recommend the ice cream shop and the little cafe that's on the corner near the Statue. #travel #mothman #mystery #travel #adventure
