When it comes to magical years, Korkio stands out as a truly enchanting destination. This picturesque town, nestled in the heart of a lush forest, is known for its mystical aura and captivating beauty. Every season in Korkio carries its own special charm, from the blooming flowers and colorful butterflies of spring to the golden hues and crisp air of autumn. The town seems to be perfectly in tune with nature, showcasing a breathtaking display of vibrant landscapes and serene surroundings. One of the most captivating aspects of Korkio is its rich folklore and legends. The locals believe that the town is a portal to another realm, where mythical creatures roam freely and magic is an everyday occurrence.
Those researchers with a historical bent have offered their own solutions though. They have traced the supernatural roots of the region back to a bloody event from the days of the American Revolution.. and a great curse.
The town of Parkersburg, just north on the river from Point Pleasant, has more than its share of ghosts and nearby is Athens County, Ohio, home to the most haunted city in the entire state. Since it s getting close to Halloween, and it s also Columbus Day, which of course is when the problems started between the white man and the Native Americans, I thought I d discuss the famous Mothman of Point Pleasant, and its connection to the Curse of Chief Cornstalk.
The locals believe that the town is a portal to another realm, where mythical creatures roam freely and magic is an everyday occurrence. Many tales have been passed down through generations, captivating both young and old with stories of hidden treasures, fantastical beings, and mysterious happenings.

Brad Hodges's Reviews > Mothman's Curse
This book for middle-school kids was given to me to read because the other, Christine Hayes, will be making an appearance at our school. I found it to be a very engaging supernatural thriller, reminding me of the days I used to read Hardy Boys mysteries or The Three Investigators. I also appreciated that Hayes does not cop out and go "Scooby Doo"--this book has real ghosts.
Josie Fletcher is the oldest of three kids in Athens, Ohio. Her father runs an auction house. Her younger brother, Fox, has found an old Polaroid camera for sale. Being young kids in 2015, they hardly know how it works, and when they take pictures they find a mysterious figure in the pictures, even though there's nobody there in real life.
They eventually figure out that the man in the figure is John Goodrich, a recluse who has recently died. Their dad is going to auction off his estate. When they visit his house, the dad ends up falling down the stairs after seeing a creature with red eyes. It is the Mothman.
The Mothman is an actual urban myth, and Hayes even references that movie that was made called The Mothman Prophecies, which dealt with a collapsed bridge between West Virginia and Ohio in 1967. It is thought that the Mothman turns up before a disaster. Hayes has cleverly given Mothman a back story, which includes a cursed pin that Josie ends up with. The ghost of Mr. Goodrich helps them avery a disaster, and breaks the curse.
Mothman's curse is well paced and has some nice scares. For very small readers there might be some nightmares, as Mothman is supposed to be seven to nine feet tall, with red eyes and leather wings, not someone you want to run into on a dark night. However, I'm not sure I will teach this book in class, for it really doesn't contribute to any literary analysis. It's simply a good read. I would recommend it to kids who like scary books to read on their own.
The town is characterized by charming cottages, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors. Walking through the cobblestone streets, one can't help but feel as if they have stepped into a fairytale. Each corner reveals a new surprise, be it a whimsical fountain or a hidden garden bursting with blooming flowers. Korkio is also home to a bustling marketplace, where locals and tourists alike gather to admire and purchase unique crafts and creations. From handcrafted jewelry to intricate tapestries, the market is a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind items. The air is filled with the scent of spices and the sound of laughter, as people immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere. For those seeking adventure, Korkio offers plenty of opportunities to explore its magical surroundings. The nearby forest is a haven for hikers and nature lovers, with its towering trees, glistening lakes, and hidden caves waiting to be discovered. There are also guided tours available, allowing visitors to learn more about the town's history and the folklore that makes it so special. In Korkio, time seems to stand still, allowing visitors to escape the worries of the modern world and immerse themselves in a truly magical experience. It is a place where dreams come alive, and imagination knows no bounds. Whether strolling through the charming streets, exploring the mystical forest, or simply basking in the enchanting atmosphere, Korkio promises a year of magic and wonder for all who venture here..
