    Traffic at both websites was increased this year by interest in spooky West Virginia folklore brought on by the Fallout 76 video game, according to David Sibray, publisher of West Virginia Explorer.

    "Both WVExplorer.com and WVGhosts.com saw an increase in traffic, and I can say unquestionably at West Virginia Explorer that it was brought about by Fallout 76," he said.

    Searches for information about monsters and haunted locations at West Virginia Explorer was increased by the thousands monthly as a result of the game, which is to be released to a general audience in November.

    Expected to turn millions of gamers on to West Virginia, Sibray said the game takes place in an alternate version of the Mountain State annihilated by a nuclear war.
