I was really eager to check out New To You when I first saw it. From the outside, it seems huge,…read moreand there's many items displayed outside that gave the impression it was overflowing inside. And while there was a lot inside, it was a very confusing building. There seems to be a garage for car repairs in one section, and the employees just glared at us when we walked in there. We couldn't find our way around most of the rooms due to the disorganization. The items here are all very expensive as well and definitely well used (implied from the name), but I believe the past usage should factor a bit into the price. I felt uncomfortable the whole trip as the employees seemed like they didn't want us there. It was also very dark in there, and one light kept flickering and hurt my head.

This is really the antique store of all antique stores. It's so easy to get lost in -- which is…read moredefinitely a good thing. There's tons of weird stuff (that is to say, things you definitely haven't seen before). There's also an upstairs that I would make sure to check out. There's a lot of bigger items up there. However, there are plenty of items here that are completely problematic and racist. Not sure why they're still out for sale, but they made me uncomfortable, and I don't think they deserve a place on the display. I didn't buy anything as most of the things were a little pricer than what you might expect from a place like this, but I guess that's what you have to pay for for antiques. More organized in the building than you would think, but the prices are a little all over.

But again, we would like to thank the kind owners for always making us feel at home over the years. Godspeed.

I'm a "Mothman hipster" in that I've been a fan of the flying cryptid since before he became so…read moreculturally iconic, so I was thrilled to see such a great collection of Mothman, cryptid, and generally cool goods here -- to the point I actually made two stops during one visit to the greater area. The folks working are really friendly and happy to answer questions. The store is spacious and has some goods by national and international companies like Squishables but also a lot of local and regional companies, which I really appreciated. My finds included an adorable Mothman plush, a couple stickers, a Mothman/Flatwoods Monster t-shirt, and more. There is a lot of variety in general but especially in available stickers and pins, perfect for souvenir gifting. And try the root beer. It's fantastic. I also had a lot of fun at the Mothman Black Light Mini Golf upstairs. It's reasonably priced, and the theming is incredibly fun -- kitschy fun but also a bit spooky! I would say that if you're sensitive to loud sounds (including simulated gunfire) and mild "jump scares", I'd skip the golf. However, my friend and I had a blast, and the gentleman running it was great. I'll keep stopping in when I'm in the area, and I've already started recommending it to others.

Right next door to the Mothman Museum is the Point Pleasant Trading Company. If your love of…read morecryptids and shopping brought you to the area, this is definitely the first place you want to go. For me it was a better, brighter, more enjoyable place to shop than any of the other gift shops on the street with lots of variety and interesting things to see. The layout is good and easy to move through, which mattered to me because I'm always trying to navigate with my small dog and the shop stays pretty busy. They had lots of apparel with some pretty creative designs, plushies, unique souvenirs and more. It's a fun quirky shop and you can definitely spend a lot of time in here browsing. You can also pick up some pretty rare gifts for yourself and others. I will admit I had to be selective with what I actually purchased because it's easy to fill up your arms/cart but the prices can be a little prohibitive so you will most likely have to make some choices in the end like I did. The store is dog friendly, but our pup did get a little scared by the large animatronic Bigfoot, so just beware . It's all in good fun and the employees really seem to enjoy the customers screams when it frightens them . This is definitely a must stop if you're in town, whether you end up leaving with anything or not, you will still have a good time while you're in the store.

That creepy cryptid looks pretty demonic in a lot of the ways he's represented in here, especially with those glowing red eyes. Mothman Museum is cheekily billed as The World's Only Mothman Museum and you quickly see why. You have to be hardcore into the lore to actually be impressed by this small museum and not be seeing this at least a little tongue in cheek. It's all in good fun, though, except for the Silver Bridge collapse which is actually pretty harrowing and tragic. Admission is only $5 and if you really want to make it worth your while you can sit and watch the entire documentary in the little viewing area. I was pretty wore out from the road and was trying to make Akron by nightfall so I only watched a little. I meant to see if it's on YouTube just like I've been meaning to watch The Mothman Prophecies. Ha! Predictive text suggested Propaganda instead of Prophecies. That's pretty funny. The gift shop is almost half as big as the museum and it's really the highlight, easily outshining a bunch of old newspaper clippings. All the Mothman fanart is fun, too, but it seems like it's really to whet your appetite for buying souvenirs. And there's actually two or three other shops in town selling Mothman t-shirts. An old coworker I knew had 2 Mothman t-shirts and I thought that was so excessive but then I saw a design I liked better than the one I bought her in another shop and was tempted to do the same thing as Zach. I didn't but I kind of get it now. The statue outside has a separate listing here and I gave it a separate review but I will say it's so flipped out and such a powerful photo/selfie magnet that it does make this small kitschy museum seem more worthwhile. My theory is that the teens who originally encountered Mothman were time travelers who saw a future Point Pleasant that was utterly devastated, more abandoned than Gary or East St. Louis. So they came back to the 60s and came up with Mothman so at least this town would have something to hang its hat on. So there would at least be this museum, a couple gift shops, Mothman indoor black light mini-golf next door (!), etc. They went back to the future and said their work was done and that's probably the best that can be done for Point Pleasant. That's my Tale from the Cryptid and I'm sticking to it.

Located about 10-15 minutes just outside of Point Pleasant is this great museum. The staff was…read moresuper friendly as we arrived a little past opening time and had the place to ourselves. Much larger than I had anticipated but it was really cool to stroll through all the old buildings and learn some history. We came specifically for the taxidermy as we had read about General, he was the largest horse alive during his time, 3rd largest horse in the world ever and is the largest taxidermy horse in the world. Turned out there was so much more to see and experience. Best of all it's free admission!! Bring the family and you could easily spend a couple hours here.
