    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. 😊❤️

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

    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.

    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.

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!

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.
