The Haunted House Season is fast approaching. We'll be kicking things into high gear. There are a lot of exciting things just around the corner!

I am dying to pay a visit to Obscura, the Antiques & Oddities Shop featured in the reality series "Oddities" on the discovery science channel. Located on Avenue A in Manhattan, this spooky shop is filled with unique pieces ranging from macabre to bizarre. Recently aired episodes have included the sale of rare medical antiques, skulls, taxidermy, and the custom articulation of two cat skeletons. The shop owned by Mike Zohn and Evan Michelson, is always looking for new and interesting items to stock their shelves, so you never know what amazing piece of history is about to walk through the door. We're looking forward to stopping by the shop sometime next week.
