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:
Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Inverness, Scotland
The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum and Coffee Shop in Bildudalur, Iceland
International Mermaid Museum in Aberdeen, Washington
The Miyoshi Mononoke Museum in Miyoshi, Japan - which features yokai (monsters) and yurei (ghosts) from Japanese folklore
The National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland in Dublin, Ireland
Flatwoods Monster Museum in Baxton, West Virginia
International Monster Museum in Salem, Massachusetts
Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City, Nevada
Distortions Monster World in Denver, Colorado
