Talk:Lyeford, West Virginia/@comment-24987453-20150425021644

What really threw me off about this story were the glaring historical inaccuracies. First off, the area of West Virginia was not widely settled in the early 1700s, since settlement was uncommon inland. There likely would not have been a western settlement in remote West Virginia in that time period. Secondly, it says that a small police force chased Mad Jack. There weren't many police forces in the 1780s, and it likely would have been the Virginia Colony Militia or armed locals who would have chased him. In addition, metal oil wells did not even exist yet and oil was not used As fuel. The conversion of oil to kerosene was not invented until 10 years later in 1850. In addition, West Virginia did not become a state until the 1860s when it separated from Virginia in the Civil War. The natives would also not have a word for Trinity, since trinity would be a concept unknown to the local natives. Because of this and the clichéd monster screaming stuff, I rate it 7/100.
