  • Summary

  • What is a monster? The Oxford Languages dictionary defines a monster as “an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.”
    Which is also what makes monsters fascinating, right? Their frightening aspect. 

    But also the fact that they may not be imaginary after all. They may actually be real.

    In this episode, we visit museums where monsters roam free --in our imaginations at least. 

    Stops include:

    1. Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Inverness, Scotland
    2. The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum and Coffee Shop in Bildudalur, Iceland
    3. International Mermaid Museum in Aberdeen, Washington
    4. The Miyoshi Mononoke Museum in Miyoshi, Japan - which features yokai (monsters) and yurei (ghosts) from Japanese folklore
    5. The National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland in Dublin, Ireland
    6. Flatwoods Monster Museum in Baxton, West Virginia
    7. International Monster Museum in Salem, Massachusetts
    8. Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City, Nevada
    9. Distortions Monster World in Denver, Colorado
    10. The Long Island Monster Gallery in Mineola, New York
    11. International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine - The world's only cryptozoology museum
