Thank you Inside Edition for coming to the Museum. Our assistant director had a fun interview with them. A 90 minute interview distilled down to 6 minutes, makes for some interesting storytelling. Lots of highlight on how hoaxing is part of the story and history of cryptozoology that we tell. Quite a timely topic with the release of the new Documentary on the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, as usual we’ll let you decide what you make of that. Check out Chris’ whole interview at the link in the comments! Also we have live reptiles visiting the museum this Sunday (10/25) come check it out only in !
