Van Lear, Ky. (WYMT) The world beyond our veil of perception is a
subject that fascinates, captivates, and sometimes frightens. Whether
you believe in this alleged phenomenon or not, its impact on pop culture
is undeniable, which is why this man has opened an attraction to
celebrate it.
“Well, I've always been into the paranormal and the strange
my entire life...so I said why not open a business that gets my
collection out into the public eye,” said Eli Harrington, owner of the
East Kentucky Museum of Mysteries.
That collection contains some of the most bizarre artifacts
imaginable, from an extensive collection of spirit photography and
coffins, to a functional gallow. Harrington's passion for these things
is obvious, one he shares with his fiancé'.
“He's more of the expert on it than I am. I'll ask him
questions like could this be that or propose theories...it's kind of a
teamwork thing. Mulder and Scully-ish in a way,” said Kyrie Fawke.
“I just want to point out the thing behind me, this is an
actual vampire protection kit from the 1800s preserved with a wooden
stake, a cross garlic,” said WYMT reporter Eric Eckstrom.
There really are countless oddities to be found here.
Harrignton says that while he wants the experience to be fun for all who
come, he believes it will also tap into something deeper concerning our
nature.
“Everyone is some way is fascinated by the unknown and
people need a little bit of mystery in their lives. People actually
seek the unexplained...it's what makes life more interesting,”
Harrington said.
