Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 20, 2024

OK. Mary Shelley might have learned a little bit by tracing the letters on her mother’s headstone. But I doubt that was all she needed to completely learn how to read.

When are they gonna get the CIA involved with Bigfoot?

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

Bigfoot Was Investigated by the FBI. Here’s What They Found

All your kid’s toys are alive and moving around at night and that’s not creepy enough for film executives? :D

I remember that episode of X-Files!

So far, the FBI have found nothing to charge Bigfoot with . . . but they are keeping a tail on him in case he steps out of line..

There’s a snake in my boot

Believe It Or Not™, today’s illustrations were created using the very first version of AI…

Did the FBI deem Bigfoot a threat to national security?

I’ll give today’s RBION a 1 out of 3.

Goose Bumps as well as others have explored the Ventriloquist Dummy horror genre well. Then there are Chucky and the other doll demons. I think a cowboy was a good decision.

Who says the federal government wastes tax payer money?

I too think Wood as a knee dummy would have been too much. I can visualize his mouth flapping up and down as he spoke and I will have a hard time getting that image out of my head.

Ah, but which Bigfoot did they investigate? Murray Bigfoot, mild-mannered family man, or Knuckles Bigfoot, Gang Leader and all-around bad boy? ☺

And all this time I thought Woody was his nickname given to him by Bo Peep when she peeked.

Film executives were right.

First and only time in history.

Muldar and Scully are all over it!

They returned to the creepy ventriloquist dummies in Toy Story 4.

In “Frankenstein,” the monster learns to read without formal training.

Interesting fact about Mary Shelley. Gravestones, dead mother, necromancy… Also I find all the Toy Story characters somewhat creepy.

I hear that they’re going to cross Sasquatch and King Kong. It’s going to be called “Sarsaparilla”. BION. ;-p

So that’s why there are so many Rs, Is and Ps in “Frankenstein”.
