A man with two faces




Edward Mordrake is claimed to be a 19th century heir to one of the titles in England who had an extra face on the back of his head. According to the news, the extra face could neither eat nor speak, but it could laugh and cry. Edward begged doctors to have his 'devil twin' removed, because, supposedly, it whispered horrible things to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He committed suicide at the age of 23.


"He was a young man of fine attainments, a profound scholar, and a musician of rare ability. His figure was remarkable for its grace, and his face that is to say, his natural face was that of an Antonius. But upon the back of his head was another face that is look like a girl face.
