We crossed the border into Maine at 1:00 AM while “Five to One” screamed from the speakers. Jim Morrison howled “no one here gets out alive.” Not the thing you want to hear when you’re driving into an unknown state on very little sleep. A few miles in, I saw a sign that read, “Beware of moose in roadway.” So my demise had been preordained. Well played, Lizard King. Well played, indeed.We found a Motel 6 and slept the sleep of the dead. The bed was small and a little hard for my liking, but, after being on the road for roughly 19 hours, any bed looked good.
My wife and I would be in Portland, Maine for a week. Before we left, I had made a list of things I wanted to do while I was there. On the top of that list was the International Cryptozoology Museum; the world’s only such museum.
Cryptozoology is the study of animals whose existence has not yet been proven (translated literally to “study of hidden animals”). The animals themselves are classified as cryptids. Some of the more famous cryptids include Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra and The Jersey Devil.
