HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It took a phone call from former WSAZ'er Penny Moss to tell us about a unique find.

Her friend, Luana Cook Scott, formerly of Charleston, had stumbled on quite a find. She inherited the contents of her mom's attic. When Luana was going through those long forgotten boxes, she stumbled upon several rolls of 8mm film.

"I sent them off to be put on a DVD, because I saw some service on the internet," says Scott. "When we got them back, we were all surprised."
