Concerning Point Pleasant, WV weirdness.
It's the town where the Mothman was reportedly sighted before the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people in 1967. Local folklore suggests that an indian chief placed a curse on the town after he was betrayed at Fort Randolph in 1777.
That Shawnee chief's name was Cornstalk. He led the indian forces against the militia in the Battle of Point Pleasant.

"In the fall of 1777, Cornstalk made a diplomatic visit to Fort Randolph, an American fort at present-day Point Pleasant. He was seeking as always to maintain his faction's neutrality. Cornstalk was detained by the fort commander, who had decided on his own initiative to take hostage any Shawnees who fell into his hands. On November 10, when an American militiaman from the fort was killed nearby by unknown Indians, angry soldiers brutally executed Cornstalk, his son Elinipsico, and two other Shawnees."
Some believe the Mothman is the spirit of the Delaware chief/Shawnee sub-cheif Red Hawk who wanted for peace even moreso than Cornstalk.
