MCCLINTIC: MYSTERIOUS LAIR OF THE MOTHMAN - Point Pleasant, West Virginia - The McClintic Wildlife Management Area (aka "The TNT Area"), near Point Pleasant, is a rural, wooded swamp which housed the former West Virginia Ordinance Works - a production facility that manufactured and stored trinitrotoluene (TNT) until 1945. Some of the grown-over storage "igloos" that line this area still contain explosive materials and the land/water/wildlife here is considered to be toxic. It is in, and around, this area that many of the strange encounters with the ominous flying monster known as "The Mothman" occurred beginning in 1966 and continuing throughout much of '67. Many believe that this area was the flying creature's lair or, that from here, was spawned a mutant monster that took flight from these toxic and polluted swamps.
