This Man With Two Faces Might Look So Horrendous, But The Story Behind Is Even More Terrifying – Must Read

In the 19th century, there’s a noble man named
Edward Mordake (Mordrake) who was born
with unusual deformity. An extremely rare
condition called diprosopus in which parts or all
of the face are being duplicated on the head.

The origin of Edward Mordake’s story has been
lost to history. His unusual case occurred early
in medical history and only passed down
through generations, mainly by re-telling. His
story is still a mystery to modern researchers as
no medicalrecords have been found, not even
his date of birth and death are recorded.

There are many version of Mordake’s tale.
However, it always begins the same way. It is
said that Mordake was actually the heir of one
of the noblest families in England. He was an
intelligent, charming and good-looking man
when viewed from the front…but on the back of
his head lies a second face, twisted and evil.

Mordake’s existence was attested by the 1896
Medical
Encyclopedia: AnomaliesandCuriosities of
Medicine authored by Dr. George M. Gould and
Dr. Walter L. Pyle. In the said publication, it
is told that Edward’s extra face was a beautiful
girl who couldn’t eat nor speak, but possessed
its own intelligence and was quite malignant in
its intentions. According to the legend his evil
twin smiled and sneer while Edward was
weeping and the eyes would follow the
movements of people around him.

However, there is no evidence that it actually
expressed those emotions. Some even stated that
it is impossible for the second face to be a
woman as all parasitic twins are always of the
same s.ex, which is indeed true.
