We all used the expression two-faced man
about one of our acquaintances, but Edward Mordake literally has two
faces: one in the front of his head, like you and I, and another face in
the back… a human looking face with it’s own expressions. Alas, it
could not speak nor eat, but it laughed… Check out the full story behind
this amazing case of the man with two faces.
Edward Mordake was a man who lived in the
19th century. Apparently, he had everything going for him, ever-since
he was a baby. He was born into a family of nobles, and was the sole
heir to an English peerage (which is a hereditary title in the United
Kingdom, which constitutes the ranks of British nobility), he had a
loving family, but one very frightening aspect clouded his life… he had
two faces… literally!
There aren’t a lot of medical records
from that time, but all records state the same: Edward Mordake was a
charming young man, with a lovely personality. Reports of that time
state that the youngster was a very beautiful boy, but just from the
front, because whenever he turned around, it was like a dark cloud came
about… Edward’s second face was dark, contorted, hideous and the sheer
expression of pure evil.
Some versions of the story of the two
faced man state that the second face was that of a beautiful girl, but
scientists say that is not possible, and that parasitic twins are always
of the same gender. Some people even reported that whenever Edward
turned around, the evil face whispered antic incantations meant to
summon demons and evil…
And even tho there is no way that could
be verified, one thing is for sure, there came a day when Edward could
not take it anymore. By the age of 23, the man had already seen a lot of
doctors which he had begged to rid him of his “demon head”, because,
supposedly, it whispered satanist language to him at night, but no
doctor would attempt it. Unfortunately, he committed suicide at the age
of 23 since nothing could be done about the evil twin.
Other Cases Of People With Two Faces
1. Chang Tzu Ping
Chang Tzu Ping is also known as the two
faced man… but this time, the second face is not at the back, nor is it
formed as well as Edward Mordake’s evil twin. Chan’s second face was
formed on the right side of his head and it mostly consisted of a mouth,
teeth and a rudimentary tongue. The rest of the mouth and throat were
not fully developed. There were also traces of scalp, eyes, nose, and
ears.
When Chang would open his mouth on his
first head, the second mouth would also open. One day, an American
soldier discovered him and made sure that Chang had surgery to remove
the second face. After surgery he returned to his native village in
China and lived there the rest of his life.

2. Pasqual Pinon
Pasqual Pinon was born in 1889 and died in 1929. He was widely known as The Two-Headed Mexican, and worked as a performer with the Sells-Floto Circus in the early 1900s.
The man used to be a railroad worker in
Texas, Pinon was discovered by a sideshow promoter, whose was astonished
by a large benign cyst or tumor at the top of Pinon’s head. The
promoter recruited Pinon into his freak show and designed a special fake
face made of wax and placed on the growth, and claimed that Pinon had
two heads. After years of continuous touring, the circus manager paid to
have the growth surgicall removed, and Pinon returned to Texas to live
in peace.
Wow that is vary interesting.
