RIPLEY
The onetime collector of bizarre facts you’re referring to is likely Robert Ripley. Robert Ripley was an American cartoonist, entrepreneur, and collector of oddities who created “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!”—a franchise that includes newspaper panels, radio shows, and museums showcasing unusual and incredible facts, artifacts, and stories from around the world.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! features a wide range of bizarre and surprising information, covering topics such as natural wonders, human achievements, and peculiar occurrences. The franchise has continued to expand, and there are now Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museums in various locations, each showcasing a collection of strange and extraordinary exhibits.
