Head Shrinkers

Some of the most unbelievable discoveries that Robert Ripley made on his travels were the shrunken heads of South America. The Jivaro tribes of Ecuador and Peru would take the heads of fallen enemies, remove the skin whole, and shrink it to the size of a fist. Tsantas, as the shrunken head were known locally, were used to banish the vengeful spirits of their previous owners, with their lips sewn shut to stop the spirits from escaping. When Western tourists began to visit the area in the 19^th and 20^th centuries, a demand for gruesome souvenirs fueled the practice, and it is sais that people were killed just to keep up the supply. Robert Ripley reported in his journal that a German scientist who attempted to find Jivaro headhunters came out of the forest as nothing more than a shrunken head with a red beard. A TV documentary team recently unearthed a Polish videotape from the early 1960s that not only seemed to prove that tsantas were still being made by the Jivaro tribe at that time, but also provides remarkable video footage of the head-shrinking process.
