This is the Strangest Sight in Kentucky

According to Love Exploring, the strangest sight in Kentucky can be found in Fort Mitchell. It's called the Vent Haven Museum and it is packed full of over 1,000 ventriloquism dummies. Now, look, this isn't just strange, but if you are like me and were terrified of Slappy the Dummy from Goosebumps and the movie Dead Silence creeping you out, this place is more like a nightmare.

Love Exploring had this to say about the Vent Haven Museum:

Creepy doesn’t begin to cover the sights inside the Vent Haven Museum, an oddball museum in Fort Mitchell. Devoted to the entertainment art form of ventriloquism, the museum began in 1973 when W S Berger first shared his niche collection with the public. Today, the Vent Haven has more than 1,100 dummies that have starred in stage shows from the 19th to the 21st centuries. One of them dates back to the Civil War. The fascinating and frequently changing collection also includes puppets, playbills, posters, recordings and photographs. This year there’s a special Punch and Judy exhibit. Tours are available by appointment only, so be sure to book ahead.
