Visit Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! St. Augustine, Fun for the Whole Family!

Visit Ripley’s First and Oldest Believe It or Not! Odditorium with Amazing Exhibits, Unusual Art, Unbelievable & Genuine Artifacts from Around the Globe!

Although Robert Ripley was a frequent visitor to St. Augustine and stayed at Castle Warden often, he did not create the museum. He died in 1949 and a year after his death, the Castle Warden was purchased to be the ideal, uniquely glamorous building to house his collections.

Our museum includes weird class family fun for all ages. Collections include real shrunken human heads, pirates, the Peel Car which is the world’s smallest production car, marvel at the largest operational erector set Ferris Wheel, and even take your picture with The Lizard Man! Over 800 other unique exhibits, artifacts, artwork and so much more await you and your family inside the museum right here in St. Augustine!

“I saw her – she was just standing in the window on the third floor, looking out. I thought she was a maintenance man, but then I realized there was no one in the building.” 
— Roni Engals, staffer at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum quoted in the St. Augustine Record newspaper September 1998

“A television along the tour route (inside the museum would turn itself on…regardless if it was plugged in. It has become commonplace to hearing doors slamming, footsteps, and the scraping of furniture on the 2nd floor, where there are only massive display cases and no moveable furniture. In my relatively short association with the museum, my views regarding the existence of spirit energy or unusual activity have changed dramatically!”
— Kevin Saintonge, staffer at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum quoted in April 2006

“And the sound of a woman sobbing started again, just like moments before, and again, I went to the 2nd floor and found no one – and we’d been closed for almost 20 minutes”
— Robert Drent, staffer at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum quoted in December 2008-

“We came back to the third floor and Joanne started to enter the room…but she was visibly shaken, saying I’m having a panic attack! Something or someone doesn’t want me in that room!”
— Susan Harrell, manager at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum reporting the words of a sensitive brought in to investigate the Castle Warden in May 2002

Who (or what) is causing these disturbances? Why is the Ripley’s building so haunted? Why are so many employees experiencing these bizarre things with such regularity?
