In the Ripley's Odditorium in Amsterdam, there is a loin cloth-clad doll that is so incredibly detailed and realistic, they say you might mistake it for a real person. Adored by company founder Robert Ripley since he acquired it in the 1930s, Edward Meyer, Ripley's VP of Exhibits & Archives, says it’s one of the collection’s most popular objects. "And everybody wants to lift the loin cloth," he adds, with a laugh. (We're told what's beneath the cloth is equally realistic.)

The sanctity of burial grounds

Grave in the Road
This one-woman cemetery was a small civil rights victory.






The town of Hearne is known as "The Crossroads of Texas" because it sits at the intersection of several highways and railroads. The little town used to be a hub of transport and commerce, but is now fairly sleepy pit stop. Amid the suburban houses and grassy lawns though, there is an unusual sight: a body buried in the middle of the street.

When real estate developers purchased the land in 1947 they edged out the families of color in the neighborhood, who were forced to exhume and rebury the remains of their ancestors in the cemetery. The only family that refused to budge was Hollie Tatnell's children, Georgia and Andrew. The developers, eager to move forward, had to construct a median around Hollie's diagonal grave. As proof of their triumph, the Tatnell children placed the second marker on their mother's grave in addition to her original headstone.

In 2007 the median also received a sign from the Texas Historical Commission, denoting it as a Historic Texas Cemetery despite only containing the remains of one person. "This single grave," it reads, "serves as a reminder of the area's early African-American community and of the sanctity of burial grounds."
