What it is
Other writers ask what the monster was. I ask who is still paying to keep the story alive, present tense. You get the place walked frame by frame (maps, street-level ground, the official record, the keeper's own material) and a short piece that names what holds and what doesn't.
- The town, the site, the ground as it is now.
- The record: dates, names, who runs it. Checked against the official source, not the folklore.
- The keeper: the family, museum, chamber or festival that keeps it fed, and how.
- Every claim carries where it came from. If the record and the legend disagree, you get both.
Good for
You run a monster as local tourism (a museum, a chamber, a festival), or you have a legend on your map and want a grounded, source-checked piece about it. Also for checking one before you use it.

Free sample, whole thing
Fourth and Main, Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Twelve feet of steel: folded wings, red eyes, welded in 2003. Across the street, his name on the window. Otherwise, ordinary.
A town that lives next to its monster. He's a neighbor.
No boots. I walk frame by frame. Other writers ask what it was; I ask who's still paying.
Monsters are cheap to make, expensive to keep. 1966: a chase, a headline, a name. Keel's book, the bridge that killed 46. None of that is why he's still around.
The museum at 400 Main calls itself the World's Only Mothman Museum. It and the festival: one operation, the Wamsley family, two decades deep. Ten to twelve thousand people into a town of four thousand, every September. This year: September 19-20.
A family, a storefront, a weekend.
On a bunker wall at the TNT plant, foot-tall letters: MOTHMAN SUCKS. Statues are devotion. Payrolls are business. Spray paint in a blast-proof room is somebody arguing. You don't argue with nothing. Nothing isn't fed.
I wrote to the museum: who keeps him fed, and why. No reply yet.
The town doesn't need him real, just on the calendar. He eats every third weekend of September. This year I'll be there, one frame at a time.
