VAMPA: Vampire & Paranormal Museum

Aug 12, 2026

Museum is a strong word, I would call this a collection of oddities without the usual wet specimens and antique dolls. An upscale roadside attraction? That sounds too lowbrow, but overall, that’s really what it is. Definition aside, it was very fun.

very, very cool antiques, especially on the second floor

The ‘museum’ is a small part of the property - there is an antique store and the majority of the property is an outdoor lawn ornament store, complete with peacocks roaming about. We named the very impressive peacock Kevin, and it sent the Virgo and I down a ‘but what if we had peacocks’ road that lasted the hour drive home and into the evening, until we watched enough videos on social media to learn that peacocks are really, really terrible assholes that should not be a part of our lives.

There has been a lot of controversy about the VAMPA museum in the paranormal community (yes, of course there is a paranormal community, there is a community for everything, gods bless the internet). First off, the owner makes a firm claim that every object and artifact in the collection is The Real Deal. Every stake was in a slayer’s arsenal, every cursed object dangerous enough to be kept behind a chain barrier (but not so dangerous that it isn’t on display for a small admission fee), and all laid out in a floor plan that leads you to a room exulting the power of Michael the Archangel and the triumph over evil.

the power of christ compels you

Honestly, who fucking cares.

Walk through the exhibit and suspend your disbelief, or walk through it and enjoy a collection of items that could have been props on Supernatural or for sale at an oddities market. I loved it, and got some really great crafting ideas.
