A TRULY

Unbelievable By Martine Mackenzie

STORY

The words “BELIEVE IT OR NOT” have been synonymous with the name Ripley for over 100 years now.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! was founded by Robert L. Ripley, an American cartoonist, explorer, reporter, adventurer, and collector, who traveled to 201 countries seeking the odd, the unusual, and the unexplained. Over the last century, the Ripley name has become associated with an anthology of concepts including newspaper panel series, radio shows, television shows, books, and museums bearing the trademark name, “Odditorium.”
