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!

so the paranormal tag on my blog… I've called it "#forteana". forteana isn't a word but i think it should be because it's way less of a moutful than "fortean phenomena"

Let me introduce myself…

Hey my name is Dean, I’m 44 and I’m from South Georgia. I tried tumblr years ago but it didn’t stick. I decided that I would give it another go. I wanted a place to sort out some of the shit that swims around in my mind and meet other like minded people. I’m a paranormal investigator, actor, and music lover. I love the world of high strangeness, and have an obsession with many topics in the Fortean world. I work for a company called “Nightshift Paranormal Events” and enjoy taking others on investigations in real haunted locations.I did vocals in a death metal band years ago and toured full time for a few years. I now work with an agency out of Atlanta as an actor and hope to eventually be able to act full time and work taking others on paranormal investigations. So yeah a lot of random shit haha. I’m a spiritual seeker and was once a devout Christian. I have tons of religious trauma from my past and now try to live a spiritual life with no labels, just love. Now, this brings me to another reason that I came to tumblr. I became a big Ethel Cain fan around 2 years ago. Hayden’s real life story and her character “Ethel Cain’s” story captured me through her beautiful, and haunting music. Then I found out that she was originally from North Florida and very close to where I live and grew up. I saw that she is active on tumblr so, I thought hey, maybe I can get the chance to convey to her just how much her music means to me, or at least keep up with the community of other fans! I also enjoy blogging, so I just decided to jump on here and give it a go. So yeah, stay tuned for some random shit haha!

Born 150 Years Ago Today: The Still Living Charles Fort
