London Published 74 day(s) ago

For one night only, the "Lizard Man" and "Stalking Cat" took center-stage.

The self-called freaks were the main attraction on the red carpet at the opening of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in London on Wednesday.

Erik "Lizard Man" Sprague was asked whether he'd recommend other people tattooing and getting plastic surgery to make them look like an animal. "You know, really, I think, 'why not' is just as good an answer, you now, if... I'd rather hear stories of people saying why wouldn't they do something like this cause it's seems like a perfectly wonderful thing to do," was Sprague's answer.

People from all over the world flocked to London's famous Piccadilly Circus to catch sight of the some of the museum's main attractions.

All said that they were proud to be a part of the experience.
