Every year my boyfriend Tad goes squirrel hunting the first few days of the season in Ritchie County. I always meet him there for the weekend. His best friend Joe had a farm on top of Oil Ridge. Joe has passed on, but his son still allows Tad to...

"Mothman" is perhaps one of the strangest creatures to ever grace the annals of weirdness in West Virginia, or even in all of America for that matter. Even though this mysterious and unsolved case has nothing to do with ghosts... it would be remiss of me not to include...

One night, about 8:00 pm, my boyfriend and I had to run to the store to get something for his mom. We were on our way back, up near Pumpkintown, when we saw a car stopped dead in the road. We thought maybe a deer had ran out in...

I have never seen the Greenbrier County monster, but my father, brothers, and many other hunters have all seen "something". My family and I are avid rabbit hunters, and as are many close friends of the family. One January day in 1998, my father and two brothers went hunting with...
