In the late 1980s, a suitcase arrived at a warehouse in Scottsboro, Alabama.

That wasn't so unusual.

A lot of suitcases showed up at this particular warehouse, but inside this bag was something

special.

They opened the suitcase and this troll face is staring back at you.

A four-foot tall goblin puppet with a giant head, a huge nose, and piercing blue eyes.

I'm Hoggle, who are you?

Inside the bag was the real, original Hoggle doll.

This beloved character from the Jim Henson movie, Labyrinth.

I get sickle every time I think about how funny and astonishing that must have been.

We were just amazed at, we have Hoggle.

I'm Dylan Therese and this is Atlas Obscura, a celebration of the world's strange, incredible

and wondrous places.

And today, we visit the unclaimed baggage center in Scottsboro, Alabama, which bills

itself as the nation's only retailer of lost luggage.

If you have ever lost a bag during air travel, it probably wound up there, alongside thousands

and thousands of other bags, and one Hoggle.

If you lose your luggage while traveling, you're probably going to get it back, 99.5%

of lost bags ultimately make their way back to their owners.

But once in a while, that other 0.5%, bags slip through the cracks.

And when that happens, airlines will hang on to the luggage for 90 days.

They do their best to reunite bag and owner.
