## Resource

This weekend, Point Pleasant comes alive with the Mothman Festival, centered around a towering 12-foot stainless-steel statue built by the late Bob Roach—commissioned after the 2002 movie sparked renewed interest. His daughter, Kelly Roach Miller, carries on his legacy with a new shop on Main Street stocked with Mothman memorabilia. Raised watching her dad’s genius with metal, Kelly recalls how he could envision finished sculptures before a single cut was made. The statue, a labor of love and decades in the making, remains a magnet for tourists and a beloved symbol of the town—proof of her father’s enduring artistry and the Mothman myth’s lasting grip on imagination.
