Appalachian Winged Folklore Corridor — Flatwoods to Point Pleasant
Short geographic dossier: Braxton/Flatwoods (1952) and Point Pleasant (1966) as an Appalachian festival-folklore belt — tourism grammar, not a species range.
Sources mothmanfestival.com; braxtonwv.org; companion Flatwoods and Mothman festival files on this ledger
Two West Virginia towns, two mid-century winged-figure memories, one tourism grammar: Flatwoods / Braxton County keeps the 1952 “Green Monster” in convention and museum culture; Point Pleasant keeps the 1966 Mothman story in festival, statue, and museum infrastructure.
Format lesson only
This dossier links the corridor without claiming a biological range map and without absorbing any Arizona brand. Status folklore. See the live Mothman Festival file and the Flatwoods Convention cancel file for civic-calendar detail.
