These sketches were made in the 1700s from Indian hieroglyphs and ancient petroglyphs found along the Ohio river.
The site indicated on this 1700s map is just north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia where there were Mothman sightings in the 1960s.Point Pleasant was featured as a day trip on the Blog and many villagers have visited there both before and after that post. Most recently, Carol Allin, who was part of our trip down there last year, wrote, produced and directed a play about the Mothman as part of the Ten Minute Play Festival.
Thanks to local amateur archaeologist Bruce Cornett, for bringing these materials to my attention. They are part of a huge article titled " More than just burialmounds: West Virginia Archaeology's first chapter," in Ohio Archaeologist (Summer 2011). I will be posting more on this after I have read the article more thoroughly.
