Nothing breaks up the monotony of an average day like something totally offbeat. The Addams Family wasn’t wrong when they realized that the creepy, the kooky, the mysterious, and even the spooky aspects of life endow every day with an inexplicable sort of magic. In Cleveland, there’s plenty of quirky destinations that make every day memorable. Today we’re going to venture into one of the coolest shops in town… but it’s nothing like your typical run-of-the-mill thrift store.

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately for lovers of all things macabre, this local gem has permanently closed its doors. Fortunately, however, you can still find a dose of amazing things that are old, mysterious, and somewhat spooky at the local Museum of Witchcraft. 

Adventurers beware, you're about to enter The Mummy And The Monkey's Thrift Crypt in Lakewood.
