It seems strange that a frequent focus today for the Weather Channel's broadcasts of their seemingly near-death assignment for Al Roker was at the ill-faithed named location of
Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
Yes, of course, the Mothman sightings were in
Point Pleasant, West Virginia, not New Jersey. But the name game is the name game.
The New Jersey site served as the fictionalized version of the town for the setting of a short-lived 2005 television show,
Point Pleasant. With shades of
Twin Peaks, the melodrama began when a young girl named Christina washes up on the shore near
Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey during a violent storm.
During a violent storm.
Let's hope that Hurricane Sandy does not visit death upon any
Point Pleasants, whether in New Jersey or West Virginia.
Another area of some attention has been Montauk Point, New York.
Montauk Monster, anyone?
