It's a large order, but I'm sure it can be reached!

The International Cryptozoology Museum is looking to restore and inhabit this historical building located in Bangor, Maine! The museum's current locations are small and make the collection they hold seem crowded. It deserves a larger space to thrive in. It was built in 1945 and served as a garage and car dealership. But it was also eventually used as a laundromat, a taxi depot and a recycling center.

A number of things need to be done to this building to make it safe and modern. The money raised will go toward things like replacing windows and pipes. The International Cryptozoology Museum is a non-profit and relies on donations to survive.

Please consider donating and if you can't donate, sharing is so helpful!

The Petrozavodsk Jellyfish

In 1977 a strange thing was seen over the skies of Petrozavodsk in the Soviet Union. TASS reporter Nikolai Milov described the object as "a huge star", that "flared up in the dark sky" at about 4am, "impulsively sending shafts of light to the Earth". According to Milov, "the star" spread out in the form of a jellyfish, "showering the city with a multitude of very fine rays which created an image of pouring rain". Milov further reported that "after some time the luminescent rays ceased" and "the jellyfish turned into a bright semicircle", which resumed its movement towards Onega Lake.

Haunted States of America: Ohio

Ghost Hunter's Guide to Haunted Ohio (2000) by Chris Woodyard

You may recognize this author's name from our introductory post to this series: Chris Woodyard, from whose Invisible Ink Collection most of these books come. Woodyard is the author of the popular Haunted Ohio series, as well as a variety of history books about death and death culture in the Victorian era. She describes herself as a Fortean, named after Charles Fort, an American researcher known for his interest in anomalies and skepticism in the scientific method as the source of all knowledge of the universe. For more about Woodyard, visit her website at http://hauntedohiobooks.com/.

Ghost Hunter's Guide to Haunted Ohio focuses on haunted places in the state that are accessible to the public, such as Mansfield's Ohio State Reformatory, the Golden Lamb Restaurant & Hotel in Lebanon, OH, and the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati.

Our collection has the first four Haunted Ohio books (I, II, III, IV) by Woodyard, as well as her Spooky Ohio: 13 Traditional Tales (1995). For books about ghosts in Ohio by other writers, check out:

Has there ever been footage or photography of ghosts, cryptids, ufos what weren't made with a pototo, glue and popsicles? No trickery, cgi, camera errors?

That's the real mystery!
