The Mothman

I just posted a message about this on the Halloween forum here as I didn't notice the W.VA board at the time.
I don't know how close to the truth that Hollywood movie with Richard Gere was about the actual events surrounding the Mothman, but that movie scared me to bits!!
Being a believer in such things (why not, folks believe in all sorts of things all over the world), I was totally fascinated by this story.
I just wondered if there was more to it than the movie led on, or did the movie really blow thing up for ~ratings~?

tombstone/Old Amwell Cemetary

I found this message on a tombstone:

Behold you strangers passing by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you must be
Prepare for Death
And follow me.

The name on the tombstone was Aunt Maggie Mcclung
and she lived from 1874 to 1975.
