Something cool


Check this out! I found this in the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in Niagara Falls. It's a vampire killing kit circa 1850. Note the wooden stake, the vial of holy water and the tiny Bible.
Wicked cool.
I have a sneaking suspicion this may end up in one of my stories.
In other news:

I wish they'd sold then in the gift shop. I think no paranormal writer should be without one! [Even if your hero happens to be a vampire - you just never know.] LOL

Oh, what a wicked-looking vampire killing kit. Love it! I might use that concept in one of my books. That's if I work the nerves to write a historical vampire romance. Heh!

Awesome. And I can't wait to read what you've done with it.

Congrats to Terry Shaw.

I need to get one of those vampire-killing kits for my editor at the newspaper in case any more bats fly into his office.

That's sooooper cool. When I was a kid we went to Ripley's by the Fisherman's Wharf somewhere in San Francisco. Not sure if it is there anymore, but it must be. I enjoyed that. I was talking to my nephew this evening. He's coming down to visit all summer. We were talking about what he wants to do, and I got to thinking where I can bring him. I saw your post and got me thinking Ripley's would be fun too.
