Mysteries at the Museum
The Death of William Wood, Hacker Spy, Skunk Ape
At the Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell Kentucky, visitors to the worlds only museum dedicated to the art of ventriloquism will see a set of tattered and weather beaten dummies who may be the only remaining witnesses to a bone-chilling crime. At the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, a decades-old rudimentary electronic device played a critical role in exposing and capturing one of the worlds first hacker spies. And at the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine a plaster cast of a large and strange looking footprint may prove the existence of a ghastly creature thought only to exist in myths.
