Did you know that Bucks County is home to a hidden gem straight out of a Bram Stoker novel?  According to owner Edmondo Cirmi, VAMPA: The Vampire and Paranormal Museum is the world’s largest museum featuring vampiric artifacts.

This Doylestown museum was designed to immerse visitors in an environment where psychological drama and spiritual conflict are explored through imagination.

Through paintings, sculptures, furniture, and other incredible works of art, guests can delve into the mysteries of the supernatural, folklore, myth, and faith that have influenced cultures for centuries.

As soon as you walk through the doors, you’ll be whisked away to the 1700s, surrounded by an array of items one might associate with a vampire killing kit. This carefully curated collection, painstakingly assembled over 40 years, includes everything from vampire-killing tools to talking boards (Ouija boards), sculptures, and even a fully intact exorcism chair.

“The museum itself is built on the edification of the Archangel Micheal fighting evil, the whole museum is based on the battle of good vs evil,” says owner, Edmondo Crimi
