Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 02, 2024

I saw The Lighthouse movie, no thanks

Stay at a lighthouse with a horn going off every two minutes?

The Brazilian Candiru, also known as a toothpick fish or vampire fish is a species of freshwater catfish. Beware!! They have been known to enter the urethras of bathers and swimming animals so be sure to keep your bathing suit tight!

Candiru is Portuguese for tax assessor.

he didn’t find any such thing! Snorkeling 40’ underwater? AND the river is too muddy to see anything beyond 3’

While staying at the lighthouse, is one expected to clean the Fresnel lens and top off the oil supply to the light?

The lighthouse is 20 miles west of the Straits of Mackinac. The current at that point flows into Lake Huron.

Now you will have to update us when someone takes the lighthouse up on the free stay

I like the idea of the skeletons in lawn chairs!

I have snorkeled at 40 feet and deeper. In crystal clear waters in the Bahamas where you could see the bottom at 75 feet. I think ron45wells is spot on and Ripley’s needs an editor.

They knew the skeletons were fake when the DNA tests showed a link to a recycling center

Well, the way I’ve heard it, that’s not the only place where the Brazilian candirú gets up to! Watch out, guys. In fact, between the candirü and the piranha, restrict your Brazilian swimming to swimming pools, eh? Filtered ones!
