Topping the list of 11 strange stories, is the story reported by London-based newspaper The Telegraph, about Ziona Chana, who lives in a four storied building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram, sharing borders with Burma and Bangladesh.
"It's a safe bet that Ziona Chana would not be impressed watching '19 Kids and Counting' or 'Sister Wives'. The 66-year-old Indian man has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren," said Ripley's Believe It or Not in a statement.
"I once married 10 women in one year," Chana is quoted as saying by The Telegraph.
According to the daily, Chana met his oldest wife, who is three years older than he is, when he was 17.
Other strangest stories include 'Implanting organs in the name of art'; 'Liechtenstein for hire at $70,000 a Night; 'Blind dog gets own guide dog'; 'Cemetery collector with 29 bodies arrested'; 'Alabama company turn gun lovers' Ashes into ammunition' and 'Mexican vampire woman Maria Jose Cristerna immortalized in wax' by Ripley's among others.
