Bookstore, folklore shop, curiosity store, paranormal-history museum, guided exhibit experience and ghost/history-tour operation.
Paranormal Books & Curiosities has operated in downtown Asbury Park since 2008, combining a specialized bookstore focused on paranormal literature, folklore and local history with The Paranormal Museum. The museum presents historical cases, spirit-communication devices, unusual relics and objects interpreted through paranormal traditions, while the broader operation runs ghost and history tours and changing events. Supernatural claims remain framed as museum interpretation, reported experiences and folklore rather than established scientific fact.
