0:03
Missouri
0:04
as stated the tippy top of that water
0:11
tower
0:12
welcome everyone Adam the whoo here we
0:14
will be stepping into Ripley's Believe
0:16
It or Not here in town now there are
0:19
quite a few of these stretching all over
0:22
the country all kind of similar in their
0:24
own ways but considerably different in
0:27
others and I've never been in this
0:29
particular one I'm inviting you to join
0:32
me shall you the self-proclaimed
0:36
weirdest place in Branson according to
0:39
the flyer and there it is in all its
0:44
glory first impression the structural
0:47
stability of the building might be in
0:50
question look there's like cracks
0:52
throughout however
0:54
fret not it's all part of theming as is
0:57
the bizarre Christmas tree they have out
1:00
for the holiday season this scrap metal
1:03
gorilla seriously though
1:05
look at the size of that crack this
1:07
massive head is made up of tires I
1:09
wonder if it's a coincidence or an
1:10
add-on that is sitting next to a vehicle
1:13
a car of coins with 23,000 English
1:16
pennies lining the exterior covered in
1:19
24 karat gold and this Honda Civic is
1:24
covered in 25,000 dimes nicknamed the
1:28
Han dime all right car parts robots I'm
1:31
going in stepped into the lobby and the
1:34
top there is a dragon looming down and
1:37
appears to be multiple floors after
1:40
crossing through the turnstile I'm
1:42
noticing a river of lava guiding the way
1:46
some interesting musical instruments
1:48
including this fiddle which is made from
1:52
cow horns turtle shells canned ham cans
1:55
and even a dressmakers yardstick whoa
2:01
the skeletons changing
2:03
mr. Ripley is that you this barn and
2:13
cowboy gunslinger are both made from
2:16
something very unique common household
2:20
matchsticks a genuine 1850s
2:24
vampire-killing
2:25
pencil right there what does all power
2:34
is here to tell you you can believe it
2:36
age is simply a matter of mind if you
2:39
don't mind then my friend it doesn't
2:42
matter so gone we can free like a little
2:45
baby I've never been very good at these
2:47
games of skill but I'll give it my best
2:49
shot the key is don't touch the metal
2:52
what's this well I think that's a lot of
2:57
barcodes pull out and you'll notice it's
3:00
Elvis Presley on top of this barrel of
3:03
swamp water is Jimmy crow made
3:06
completely out of junk I think that's a
3:08
shovel for his backside moose had up
3:11
there and standing next to Hulk is a
3:13
bison made of nails normally you don't
3:16
want to touch his horn oh wow that is a
3:19
little prickly move and oh yes this is
3:22
the world's largest roll of toilet paper
3:26
true story
3:27
now believe it or not just to give us
3:30
some perspective that's a five and a
3:32
half foot mannequin oh yes that's big
3:36
and both these wedding dresses are made
3:38
from the same material that you wipe
3:41
your hiney with seriously though that's
3:44
large
3:45
a few fantasy coffins on site as well a
3:52
crab a turkey and even a corn on the cob
4:04
that's me right there my hand face and
4:04
my other hand way over there pretty good
4:05
view from up here
4:06
there's a saying here on the wall one of
4:09
the strangest things I've seen was man
4:12
signed Robert Ripley walking up to this
4:15
cabin you'll notice no one can be seen
4:17
in the window don't see anybody right
4:20
take a good look and pay even closer
4:23
attention to the drapes around that
4:25
window to the right not a soul in there
4:30
as far as I can say but when you walk a
4:33
few feet and peek in from this direction
4:36
it's the Grinch in front of those drapes
4:39
what the heck that is so weird
4:42
look now he's gone it's States mystery
4:47
of the vanishing lady but I think for
4:50
the holidays
4:51
it's the Grinch and now he's gone again
4:53
so bizarre New Guinea nose bone
4:57
decoration the more elaborate the
4:59
decoration was the fiercer the wearer
5:02
would seem a snake vertebra necklace and
5:05
next to it a human bone dagger fertility
5:09
dolls dolls with broken limbs are
5:12
believed to ensure that children will be
5:14
born healthy every ripley's you go to
5:16
will have a shrunken head which makes me
5:18
wonder how many of these things are
5:20
there in existence the amazonian make
5:23
over a Hecate why not I'll give it a
5:26
shot
5:26
step one take photo nailed it it gives
5:31
you a lot of options including the face
5:33
the hair even some of the accessories
5:37
and pieces I could go on top of the head
5:42
or your nose prepare yourself for the
5:45
finished product Ton Ton Ton Ton Ton Ton
5:47
Ton the dog
5:49
yep that's me okay that's that's
5:52
different but maybe not any more unusual
5:54
than a vending machine full of bugs ant
5:57
wafers anyone Indonesian spirit face
6:02
while the men dance around the women go
6:05
into trances and actually communicate
6:08
with the dead
6:11
Peruvian skull circa 700 AD see the
6:15
bottom portion of the jaw is gone next
6:17
to this campfire and gentleman holding a
6:20
snake is a hex god I like a larger
6:23
version of a voodoo doll perhaps it's
6:26
good luck to cast your change down this
6:28
waterfall into this pond I just checked
6:31
my pockets though I don't have any coins
6:32
so I might have some bad luck coming my
6:36
way
6:36
certainly a hex would not be placed on
6:38
me simply for for that time to make my
6:42
way out of this incredibly awesome
6:43
themed area and move into the next
6:46
section she's having her boyfriend snap
6:48
a quick photo of her with that
6:49
gargantuan roll of toilet paper
6:52
wow that entire stagecoach is made up
6:55
also of toothpicks down here is a
6:58
two-headed calf I see you down there
7:01
height and prehistoric creature is made
7:03
out of money ground up money and take a
7:05
look down there get to that soon though
7:07
be patient I hear the waves crashing
7:09
seems as if we stepped into an aquatic
7:12
area of sorts boats and such in the
7:16
early days bellows like these were used
7:18
to keep steam ships smoking that's what
7:21
those are for
7:22
put yourself fully in the experience by
7:24
sticking your head up in this thing I
7:31
don't know if I've ever set foot in a
7:31
restroom that has a collection of pipes
7:35
antique pipes all along its walls in
7:39
order to use the commode you have to
7:40
walk right past them some of them pretty
7:42
elaborate look at the size of of that
7:46
one and then above the water fountain
7:48
are a whole bunch of butterflies in fact
7:50
the entire hallway leading to the
7:53
facility's restrooms
7:54
dead ahead Robert himself is crushing a
8:04
penny for me spin it okay it's done I
8:07
like it because it's the exterior of
8:09
this exact location building a little
8:11
souvenir
8:12
looking down on the lobby you can see
8:15
the cracks on those boards and hear the
8:17
rumbling in fact the roofline appears to
8:21
be caving in man
8:26
continue through the theater thank you
8:30
for pointing the way I appreciate that
8:32
in here you can watch an assortment of
8:34
video clips if you're tired need a rest
8:37
and you know feel tuckered out take a
8:38
seat and enjoy the video screen
8:57
standing eight feet 11 inches tall next
8:57
to this big ruler is Robert Wadlow I
8:59
don't think I've ever seen him display
9:01
with that particular shirt on before
9:03
Robert Hughes known as the heaviest man
9:06
and Robert Wadlow which is interesting
9:09
Robert Wadlow Robert Hughes in Robert
9:13
Ripley's museum very interesting
9:17
coincidence inside these cases are a few
9:20
others who have become very popular with
9:22
this franchise including the blue faced
9:24
man who was born with a rare medical
9:26
disease that caused him to have a blue
9:29
face what is that creature below the
9:31
security camera is that the security
9:33
guard can you imagine sitting inside an
9:36
oven with a raw piece of meat and not
9:38
coming out until it was cooked that's
9:40
what that guy did as a circus act
9:42
tough to tell from the glare but I'm
9:44
pretty sure he's sweating just a bit
9:47
world's largest string ball weighing six
9:50
tons has broken its stage and sitting on
9:52
dang that thing is big the world's
9:57
largest ball of twine stated there how
9:59
do you even move something of that
10:01
stature and now exit through the gift
10:05
