I’m the artist who made the punx baby and the happy baby in the egg. Thanks for highlighting those. Big Jim and Mountain Oddities are both amazing. Love your channel and it was such a nice surprise to see my work on here. 😊❤️

[@glenndouglas8822]

Nice unusual work. Well done 👍

[@agerven]

Oh, i thought it was a cup, but it was some sort of Fabergé egg then. Compliments on your work: Very detailed and full of expression.

[@functionatthejunction]

The two-headed baby is supposeldy the real one from Barnum's show in the1920s though. Is Mountain Oddities lying?

[@tipsytater6865]

I only display my artwork there. Beyond that I’m not sure about the other items.

[@functionatthejunction]

@@glenndouglas8822 The two headed baby IS a punk baby...

[@agerven]

It is very special how U.S.A. citizens celibrate, and appreciate oddities. They are a great way to express oneself: who you are and who you are certainly not. Also, an oddity makes an easy start for elaborate and interesting conversations. So happy when Jacob posts another oddities video.

[@ryangibson8029]

I used to go to the Natural Bridge wax museum all the time as a kid. Always wondered what happened to some of those figures and amazingly, the swinging rope boy that greeted you at the entrance is here at this museum. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I still miss going there since it closed.

[@Imjustkayhaha]

The condition they had those axolotols in hurts my heart.

[@jackalope_butchery]

I live about 20 minutes away from Mountain Oddities! I go there fairly often. The owner is the literal nicest man I think I've ever met. The comic shop guys were great too. They opened a new location just up the road from Mountain Oddities. If anybody is ever in the area, visit both of em if you can!

I watched a KZbin video where a Rep. from Ripley's was taking some items on a tour and was stopped by customs. It was funny to see the look on there faces when they opened up the boxes he was traveling with. The only thing they would not let in for some silly reason, was a cows hair ball that had been in it's stomach.

[@tkguess]

Been there and it's so cool

[@brianking973]

I love the movie "From Hell" it is very dark and grimy. Depp did an amazing performance. I also Have that Planet Hollywood Bank. I can't believe you showed that. I bought it as a kid when I met The Goo Goo Dolls in the Atlanta Location.

I wonder if that swinging boy was also the same one that hung in the window of the old wax museum on the strip in Gatlinburg. I believe it was called the American Historical Wax Museum. It went out of business early 90’s maybe.

I do not think they included the scene in Buddy where he was dissected. It must have been cut out before it made it to release. My sister watched that movie about 50X a week when she was little

Cool place. Seeing those soap wars on a string. I knew a guy that was in the Army In Vietnam. He came home with like 6 mummified ears in his bag. Those were the 6 VC he disposed of. Yeah, he was not right in the head but Vietnam wasn’t a vacation.
