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.
