Inaugural Mythic Realms show held at Battlers Knob
PHILIPPI, (WBOY) — The inaugural Mythic Realms show wrapped up its three day run on Sunday at Battlers Knob, the former home of Alderson Broaddus University.
Dozens of vendors were in attendance offering all things mythical, including Mothman art and art of other creatures, as well as a space for people to play board games, getting to embrace their love of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and much more.

Organizer Gretch Corley said this was an event built to be a safe space for people in the area to tap into their love for all things mythical.
'We built this off of the Cosmic Realms that we did earlier, that was West Virginias first sci-fi convention and it turns out that people really love this stuff,' Corley said. 'I mean, we knew that they loved this stuff and it's weird that nobody has taken the time to concentrate that love into a show. So we're just like, I guess it's us and we're just doing it now and everybody's had such a fun time this weekend. There's so much community building that's going on.'
And if you missed the festival, the next festival similar to this one will be Cosmic Realms and it will on the weekend of October 3, at Battlers Knob.
