Ripley's Believe It or Not!

- Season 1

(1982)

Moments captured through stroboscopic photography; buildings designed to appear unfinished or crumbling; a Paris cemetery considered "fashionable"; a conductor who can't read music conducting "the world's worst orchestra" in London.

Believe it or not: digging up graveyards in China to make room for more bodies. The perilous journey of a newborn kangaroo toward the pouch. A musical staircase. A funeral where grief is expressed by removing a finger tip. Making music with leaves. A grave with a large granite limousine. The Japanese soldier who continued WWII after it ended. Junkyard instruments. Making music with brain waves. The last of the Shakers. And the feud of the Hatfields and McCoy's.
