A unique Doylestown paranormal museum dedicated to the world of the supernatural has opened its doors, writes Stephanie Farr for The Philadelphia Inquirer.  

VAMPA, the Museum of Vampire and Paranormal Activity Art, is the brainchild of Edmondo Crimi, the owner of Best of France Antiques. 

Crimi, who completed a six-day exorcism course in Rome, converted the first floor of his residence into a realm of dark arts and history.  

Yet, this Brooklyn native and devout Catholic is keen to emphasize the deeper message of the museum. “The purpose is not in any way to glorify evil, but to make people aware of evil so they can be hypervigilant in fighting it,” Crimi told The Philadelphia Inquirer.  

Visitors can expect a haunting journey through eight ornate rooms, showcasing thousands of unique objects linked to demons, vampires, witchcraft, and more. 

Most pieces date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Noteworthy amongst the collection is a wooden rocking chair engraved with human skeleton motifs.  

Crimi himself has taken to blessing certain pieces with holy water, with a special section dedicated to Archangel Michael, guiding visitors towards the “light side.” 

His skills extend beyond the paranormal, as he’s an instructor in karate and kendo, having trained numerous priests and bishops in martial arts.
