The World’s Creepiest Museum? Belhaven Memorial Museum

[@jan6626]

Nice museum, so sad that they don't get more people coming in...hopefully this vlog will help them. Wish I lived closer, I love places like that.

[@grey9919]

I from NC...kinda getting the heebie jeebies from most of this stuff, I think it's super cool though.

[@InkblotHyena]

I'm going to be in the Belhaven area on business soon-enough, but, after hearing how few visitors they get, I might have to stop by. Great vid. Made me want to see more.

[@ericjohnson8001]

[@RhettyforHistory]

Very cool museum with a lot of great oddities. Interesting on the flood water.

[@amberdawn2601]

A lot of coastal towns have similar flooding during hurricane season. The locals are probably used to it.

[@Robothut]

1 too 2 visitors a week is so sad. Even if there was just 1 thing you wanted to see it would be worth the visit if you lived close by. As for the corn cob in the box with the glass front, as a kid I remember seeing these in lots of bathrooms as joke. We all know where your supposed to put the corn cob but I never could figuar out why they thought that would help or why its funny .

[@taffykins2745]

The hair necklace is probably a Victorian era funerary thing.

[@mariebelladonna437]

It is. But that one was not a necklace. It would be hung on the wall. They did sometimes put locks of departed loved ones into a necklace, or even a belt buckle. At a time when pictures were expensive and difficult to obtain (this was also the reason for Victorian death photography, as it was oftentimes the only picture people ever had, of their loved ones), it was a way of visually remembering the loved one. Okay, Nerd out. Lol.

[@conditionallyunconditional5691]

I'd still rather see braided hair than human skin suits. 🙈

[@Gold23228]

It could very well be older than that since it was done for a few centuries. About the 14th to the early 20th

[@weaponofmassconstruction1940]

[@bradgaines]

[@1minigrem]

If you come to the UK I think you would love Horniman’s museum. It’s just outside London, Forest Hill. The Victorian gentleman had to buy another house to live in because of his obsessive collecting. Items are still being discovered at the museum. In the 90’s an entire glass and iron gazebo was discovered flat packed. It has been put together and now hosts weddings and social events at the museum. They have a web site if you are interested.

[@paulfeagans9904]

You are correct sir. When I was a child some 60 years ago, my grandparents had a cabin in the woods that was situated on a lake that we would spend weekends fishing there. With no indoor plumbing they had an outhouse and it was always equipped with either corn cobs or the Sears catalog. Kids think they got it rough now when they have no "bars" or phone chargers.

It seems so marked with destiny that your visit there come at that time. It seems significant to you as so much time, success and strife has passed since you first wanted to go as well as for them since they appreciated such an unexpected and special visitor when it might have seemed easier to just not bother opening that difficult day. So interesting.

The corn cob in the box with a glass front would be placed in your modern bathroom as a joke from days gone by. Back in the day people had outhouses and no toilet paper. So they used dried corn cobs after the kernels were removed and processed into feed. Kind of makes two-ply look heaven-sent.

[@yatessmyrna]

Corn cobs were once commonly used in place of toilet paper, in out houses. Often, these outhouses had no pit beneath, but were instead backed against the family's chicken coup. The chickens would peck the corn cobs clean, once they dried. Then the cobs would get shoveled-up and thrown out into the fields.

[@mitchmiller7552]

Those chicken glasses are actually to prevent cannibalism. The red lenses render the chicken color blind and unable to see open wounds and raw flesh. Basically keeps them from an uproar. Once one chicken sees another one with open wounds it attacks that one and while being attacked the injured chicken inflicts wounds on the attacking chicken causing another to seek interest. It's a huge chain reaction that is avoided by making chickens wear hipster glasses lol
