The 4-legged girl married a handsome husband like an actor, the ending made the whole world cry

Josephine Myrtle Corbin was born on May 12, 1868 in Tennessee, USA, the daughter of William and Nancy. Since birth, she has had four legs and two separate organs.

According to Myrtle's doctor, these extra legs should have been her twin, and this is a rare medical condition called "Dipygus", which causes both legs to be in one person. Each small inner leg is the same pair as the two outer legs, making it difficult for her to move.

Josephine Myrtle Corbin is said to be very beautiful and moreover, naturally beautiful. Many doctors examined and examined her and concluded that her health condition was very good and she could live and function like a normal person.

People at that time were curious about her strange appearance, so her father decided to make money from her unique appearance by charging people who wanted to admire his daughter. At the age of 13, she and her father traveled from place to place, using her strange appearance to earn huge sums of money for her family. Despite her beauty and ugliness, she still became a famous performer and determined to live her life to the fullest.

At 19 years old, Josephine was beautiful and radiant like a proud flower. Her two extra legs make her stand out and attract many men. Her husband was also one of them. Because he admired her talent and beauty, he did not hesitate to do everything to protect this love. Josephine married a doctor named James Clinton Bicknell when she was just 19 years old. The couple gave birth to five children (four girls and one boy).

Josephine Myrtle Corbin died on May 6, 1928 at the age of 59 due to an incurable disease at that time.

In addition to the story about the four-legged woman above, the media once stirred up when witnessing the case of a man with two faces on one head.

Specifically, on December 8, 1895, the Boston Sunday Post newspaper published an article titled "The miracles of modern science", introducing readers to the reports of the "Scientific Society". Royal". It is a document about strange characters that British scientists have recorded, such as mermaids, human crabs and not to mention Edward Mordrake - the famous man with the second face behind him. nape.

Accordingly, Edward Mordrake is a handsome aristocrat, born into a wealthy family in England. Not only that, he is also intelligent and a rare talented musician. Everything about Edward is almost perfect, but he has a curse. Edward was born with a different face on the back of his head, eyes, nose, mouth and everything like a complete face.

The face on the back of Edward's head is described as that of a woman, "as lovely as a dream but as hideous as a demon". It possesses intelligence but is cruel, always infecting Edward's head with distorted thoughts. This face also always has the opposite expression to Edward, every time he cries it laughs.

Edward is constantly disturbed every night by the face on the back of his head. There were days when he stayed up all night because that face whispered evil words. After a while, Edward could no longer bear it. Before leaving, the young man left a letter, begging everyone to remove the face on the back of his head for fear that it would continue to whisper to him in the grave.

In 1896, two American doctors George M. Gould and Walter L. Pyle included Edward Mordrake's story in their book called "Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine" - a collection of strange medical cases. . George M. Gould and Walter L. Pyle are two extremely successful ophthalmologists with many impressive achievements, but it seems they were too gullible, especially in the story of the "two-faced man" Edward. Mordrake, as it was later proven to be completely fake.

The truth is discovered

According to author Alex Boese's post on the Museum of Hoaxes blog in 2015, the writer of Edward's story in the Boston Sunday Post was Charles Lotin Hildreth, a poet and science fiction writer. Mr. Charles's stories are often about fantasy worlds and other strange things. That was the first clue that Edward's story was fictional.

In addition, Charles's article quotes the word "Royal Scientific Society" but in the 19th century, there were no groups with that name, only the Royal Scientific Society of London, established many centuries ago. century earlier but completely unrelated to the story of Edward.

Next, the strange medical cases mentioned in Charles's article have never appeared in any scientific literature. Even if you carefully search the entire list of the Royal Society of Sciences in London, you will never find documents related to the "two-faced man" Edward Mordrake.

With all of those reasons, one thing can be affirmed that the story about the "two-faced man" Edward Mordrake is completely untrue.
