When you are in the middle of a Carpet bagger video, and get a notification of a new Carpet bagger video, you know it's gonna be a good day!

[@tammiejade1155]

This is an interesting musium

[@Guessnought]

As an oddity collector, these videos never fail to make me supremely envious.

[@thestudio66]

YUP, or proud whenever I own a similar/equivalent item haha

[@Lilmissdangerous]

Agreed!!!

[@Lilmissdangerous]

​@@thestudio66 I will check your channel out.... Weird is up my alley 🤪

[@Lilaa86]

Please Jacob, never change your channel, your videos are always different and interesting. I once liked also adam channel a lot too, but now it only makes disney videos, or disney resort videos. stay like this and don't change 👏🏼

[@adamtaylor9270]

I work nextdoor to the Museum of Weird. I love those people

[@bartplays3392]

Yesss the man with the carpetbag is back at a museum!

[@Peggasoreus]

Do you plan on returning to Meow Wolf's, "House Of Eternal Return"? They added updates to it.

[@sammyb1929]

Jacob King Tut was buried in a rush because he died so Suddently, Rumour has it the Death mask was meant for his Mother/Step Mother Nefertiti. His tomb was in the Valley of the Kings but well hidden as the General who took over from him didn't approve of Tut or his Fathers Regime. His tomb prepared and sealed in such a hurry the Paint was still wet and the Tomb is covered in Mould! His mummification was rushed too hence why he looks like burnt Beef jerky, But in a way wiping him off the face of the earth preserved his tomb forever and made him the most famous. Another tip for spotting Royal mummies a lot of them have an Overbite. He died aged 18/19 but he was plagued with many health Issues like Spinal problems, Club foot etc. Loving the Channel Jacob you've kept us all sane during lockdown and I'm sure if you had a Queen as Ruler she'd Knight you haha! Regards Your Pal Dr.What

[@Ebbsos]

Hey Jacob! Hope you're well. I absolutely love coming back to watch old videos like this one, they're my comfort videos 😍 Your content makes so many people happy ☺️

[@ruthannkizakavich3325]

I could look at this place for hours! Some really cool items!

[@simonvanderwerf]

Jacob your the only man that tells His wife "I'm going to go get some strange" and she has no worries and looks forward to what you bring home.

[@thestudio66]

I'm someone who's done that with my ex, and I can tell you - it is possible, there just aren't many people out there that have a genuine interest in this stuff without being super weird about it. We would preserve wet-specimens together and all. A dream, I tell you.

[@thestudio66]

@Annihilator X we were, and we're friends, but he's unique, and I don't think he'd ever reconsider me that way - even though it's been 2 years since we've dated. I feel like he's always searching for the next step, and I mean going backwards - which I respect.

[@mcwatersd]

Awesome museum.Enjoyed the tour. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤

[@Sumermak]

The music in the wax museum sounded like the theme music from Dracula (Winona rider one).

[@APhillaTHun]

This place is amazing! Love the Bram Stoker's Dracula music in the background. Definitely added to my bucket list. Thanks for this video.

[@erikgriffith8857]

The Jeremy Bentham head is a facsimile. Jeremy Bentham was an nineteenth century British philosopher who is credited with creating utilitarian ethics. His entire mummified body is kept in a glass case and wheeled out at the annual meeting of the philosophy society he founded.

[@CactusAtlas]

Of all the years I lived in that city, I still never managed to go in that museum. Guess that's how you know who is local. 🤣 Would have liked to have gone though.

[@OldMovieRob]

You always find the coolest, weirdest places

[@bitchenboutique6953]

I SO appreciate that you filmed the museum… I was just there yesterday and didn’t take any photos. I was so thrilled by every display, especially the Cottingley Fairies photo, which I’d seen in a book when I was a kid… couldn’t believe I was in the presence of the real thing!

[@abbyho9717]

Omg! You’re in my city! Welcome to Austin! I hope you are enjoying your stay in the city

[@melanietroutman3905]

Nice! There's so much to see in there. 👍

[@rickle28]

Thank you for uploading! I was in Austin this past weekend and it was closed I was so sad! I am so glad this video exists!

[@thom8418]

Get one of those parking spaces in front of the museum. There is a homeless shelter next to the parking lot with the Janis Joplin and Willie Nelson painting on the building. There was a bunch of drama going on while we walked to the museum.

[@shannonnichols3415]

Both also Texans, I’m sure you know

[@MeaganG08]

If you head back through Beaumont, check out our Gator Sanctuary at Gator County! There's one that's over 80 years old and they'll take a picture for you with your phone practically inside a gator's mouth. Sweet people and a great place.

[@iamprivate18]

The perfect stomping ground for the carpetbagger!

[@dakotahetrick1306]

Gremlins is one of my favorites too! Such a cinematic masterpiece!

[@dragonosx]

I like the artistic take on the feejee mermaid at 20:50, showing what they would have looked like if "alive." Cool sculpture!

[@robg6672]

You can visit the Museum of the Mummies of Guanajuato in Mexico. There is also a the famous Luchador movie “Santo and the Mummies of Guanajuato” 🇲🇽

[@_dmfd]

It's always such a cool feeling when you click on a video & start watching in the same exact minute that it was uploaded by chance lol

[@andrewr9826]

Jacob don't take this wrong man but your voice always relaxed me man this is like my version of asmr lol

[@Ajjeskey]

Same here I always watch then listen while I’m trying to sleep..They’re relaxing

[@briesthoughts2261]

Thank you for this virtual tour!

[@darkhorse8413]

Tod Browning's Freaks is a great movie!

[@peruprofundodance]

Kinda like a ripleys! Nice! 👍

[@tommielovette1684]

Yes sir that's the retro puppet master replica that you seen next to the cyclops skull 🤗

[@kimsilcox1160]

Yes there can be a two-headed chicken because I have broken eggs and I found two yolks in there at the same time.

[@shannonnichols3415]

That’s a reasonable theory. I think there can be 2 headed anything because stuff happens sometimes & gets mixed up. (Note: I do believe this can occur, IDK if that one is real or they created it.) Sometimes it was supposed to be twins & didn’t quite get there-whatever. But idk if that supports double yolk eggs...I suppose it could but they became breakfast so we’ll never know! Idk! I just like your theory! Have a blessed day!

[@invader4life36]

I love this place!!! I went here a year ago! By far my favorite part of Austin!!! Love your channel! Shows me places to try out and it’s fun/informative to watch!

[@ramencurry6672]

Remember…..keep Austin weird

[@brentwilson3836]

Got to visit the Museum of the Weird a few years ago. I still wear my "creature in ice" t shirt😆

[@deniseconaway701]

A place of the strange, unusual and the wierd love it x

[@NOLADEEJ]

Love that museum!!! Never been, but it's definitely on my list

[@emmamae9043]

The “ sea devil” is a dried up sting ray lol

[@RetroRaeTv]

I used to live in Austin back in 07/08 in my early 20's, man I loved that place! Austin is like no other city that's for sure! Keep Austin weird!!!!👽👾💛

[@Snakesnarl]

Oddities was my favorite shooooow. I’m still sad about it being cancelled. Ten years later

[@janineshaner1107]

Oh me too!

[@thestudio66]

SAME

[@janineshaner1107]

@RetroTrash Productions that makes me sad too

[@Snakesnarl]

@RetroTrash Productions the actual store is closed? How could that be

[@janineshaner1107]

@RetroTrash Productions wow. . . .pics?

[@zanetaylor5639]

That museum looks epic. If there is a museum in America dedicated to oddities I bet that the Carpetbagger has visited.

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

@The Carpetbagger 6:21 You are correct, that IS one of the Puppet Master puppets

[@CountryMamaintheSouth]

So happy when I get notified of a new video😁

[@tpm4life]

New bucket list. Thanks.

[@danawilliams2450]

Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with you.

[@alextheferret5674]

Thanks for commin' back down to Texas!

[@amytyrrell6010]

Don’t know what I would do without your channel

[@agerven]

"Freaking oddity history", that's nicely put. P.T. Barnum was a spirit brother of Ripley to be sure. Very nice museum Jacob, thank you!

[@victoriajohnson4420]

"Creature in Ice" is the Minnesota Iceman, which was sold as a gaff on ebay in 2013 to the Museum of the Weird. You can Google photos of it if you wish. It is an historic real gaff..

[@maureendesquitado9894]

I love Shrunken Heads💓💓💓💓

[@swampspire]

something about the doink of the camera against the glass and then the pause makes me laugh everytime

[@jennyjaime8738]

Born and raised in Austin,Texas never heard of this place must be new.I will have to check it out looks awesome.

[@artificialham]

I just went here and it was pretty cool! I would've never knew about it if I didn't see this video thank you !!

[@videogeekin]

“ Where does that possum reference come from...were you attacked while driving your car?”

[@nimblehealer199]

The possum is his spirit animal

[@theskipperone]

The creature in ice is a gaff that was purchased off of Ebay and is on display there. 😂

[@JamieEvansBooks]

I have to go there! That looks like my kind of place.... Road trip!

[@queenmedesa]

Great museum! Love the waxworks !

[@XxItalianVampPrinces]

Chang and Ang Bunker did have it to where If one of them dies then they where to be separated to save the other. Sadly the surgeon didn’t make it there in time and both Chang and Ang died within minutes of each other.

[@danawilliams2450]

I did not know they have that here in Austin I am defiantly going to have to check it out.

[@0d.Chris_]

I'll have to check this place out next time I'm around Austin looks real cool

[@orsonboggs7753]

11:07 the mystery sphere was solved when it was found to be a big ball out of a check valve made by Bell&Howell Corp. mystery solved...but hey...you gotta admit it makes a good conversation piece : )

[@lowrollerscraps2477]

Didn't know Chang & Eng are in Mt. Airy, NC.

[@spartanumismatics8165]

Yup. They married local north Carolina sisters and each had several kids each.

[@bentstrider]

All those times I went to the Jackalope after a Thursday Night Social Ride in years past and never noticed this spot. On the other hand, there's actually a "Jackalope #2" on the other side of the river!! Both are some killer spots, even for someone who doesn't frequent bar culture like myself.

[@dianebusby7047]

Nice to see a collection of CLASSIC horror film icons, rather than yet another bunch of 'slashers'!

[@mikaylahabina8867]

It’s Frankenstein’s monster!!! The doctor is Dr. Frankenstein!!

[@ShaneFluff]

Parents bought me and my two brothers a Zultan fortune teller each from Sam's club one year Great vlog

[@jackiebrooks526]

I loved watching the show Oddities! I would love to go to this museum.

[@juanzapata492]

Very interesting and weirdly interesting

[@Melscreativearts]

Austinyte here! Yesss

[@josephnewadventure6758]

Happy greetings and best wishes to you and the family from Joseph . I really enjoyed this video .thanks for posting this.

[@skyblack8416]

Yes Audrey 2!!!

[@LoriCurl]

New sub here and I LOVE this channel!! Got to Binge it too! Do you have any videos from Oregon?? Thanks for the hard work too! You know they have bumper stickers here that say keep Portland weird.

[@kimspeers2916]

Really cool. That was wierd but fun. I think i would be scared to death to go in there. Thanks for taking us with you. Id love to see more of your videos. Im a new subscriber. Thank you.

[@adamburgess4618]

Didn’t expect a replica of Jeremy Bentham’s head.

[@alliekuma4234]

Omg Gingee is super adorable♥ I feel like that two-headed chicken might be fake but I feel they absolutely can exist since other species have that occur as well.

[@krazykris4785]

Always love your videos..love from Australia 💖

[@TreadwellJay]

London After Midnight is one of the most famous lost films.

[@JasonGoldstrikerTankCommander]

I've been to obsceura in brooklyn. It's awesome!

[@beng2427]

I went to Obscura in NY before they closed and got a hat signed by the stars.

[@janineshaner1107]

Lucky!

[@frankbingham53]

Another Great video carpet bagger this one's in the bag.

[@mombiethezombie7536]

I’d love to visit there!

[@moonman9504]

So that’s who won the bid for that gremlins 2 set piece..

[@emilyt3377]

My great grandmother had a miniature poodle named scruffy

16:50 “No, it’s pronounced ‘Fronkensteen’.” - Dr. Frederick Frankenstein

[@kirawoodwills]

Yess another awesome museum vlog I'm in!❤️ Happy Ramadan to all the Muslims here!

[@anneshields2010]

I would never see Quasimodo as a monster maybe he looked scary but once you got to know him he had the most beautiful soul and was a gentle kind person and if you were kind to hIm he’d look after you Iv seen the live action versions of the film and at first I was like omg when I first seen him but by the end just wanted to hug him and stroke his cheek even kiss him on the cheek but Disney made him all cute and cuddly

[@lorrainethepain]

Zoltan looks like Uncle Fester...

[@_The_Worst_]

Wow...😮...yeah, that was an incredibly neato place...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@peanutdapitbull]

I got nervous about the museum of the weird, I thought you were at my inlaws house 😅

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

the music there is awsome

[@brandyrose9997]

There is nothing that makes me happier in the morning than seeing a new Carpetbagger upload! Or sex. Or bacon.

[@daleleibfried8648]

The critter was cute

[@RyanShyffer]

So glad you corrected the "Frankenstein" sign to his proper name.

[@bobcalderon2534]

Another great museum. Thanks Bob Calderon

[@realizedvisions]

I still think your suitcase intro was never bested, brother.

[@rwheatley0206]

Very cool museum. Just subbed your channel.

[@janettemendoza9788]

Interesting! Here in El Paso we had a pawn shop that claimed to have Pancho Villa’s trigger finger. It was on sale for around $9,500. Pretty believable since there’s a Villa stash house near the pawn shop. Last time i saw it was in 2019. Wonder if these guys bought it? 🤔

[@randombits5851]

Omg come to Lampasas, TX! 60 miles north of Austin ! 😭

[@videogeekin]

“ Feejee mermaid...classic ‘bait & switch’
