Point Pleasant is about 45 minutes down the road [down the road in WV-speak means the direction water poured out of a jug onto the road would flow e.g., if one is going in the same direction as the water--one is going down the road. Conversely, if one were to go up the road, one would be going in the opposite, or retrograde direction, relative to the poured water] from me.

My in-laws grew up very near there and though they didn't personally witness the mothman they knew people who did.
