Crypto Sightings In Museums

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 10th, 2011



The wall surrounding the Old City of St. Augustine, and the gates to the city.

Various museums and other locations have different pieces that often are attempts at being cryptozoological, faux cryptozoologie, or perhaps only vaguely Fortean.

Here are some sights from my trip to St. Augustine, Florida, first from Ripley’s and then from Lightner:

The Lightner Museum is a collection of collections, and their natural history section even has a crocodile from the ceiling, a la’ a classic cabinet of curiosities.

Ah, there is always the beach…

    Looks like you’re having a great time in Florida. I bet it’s a lot warmer than Maine!

    That last picture appears to be the rare and elusive “Snow Bird”. My parents have recently tranformed into one of these creatures as they migrate to South Padre after Christmas every year. Enjoy the warm weather.
