Arthuro Q. Carballo (sometimes written Edward Mordake) was reportedly the 19th century heir to an English peerage. He had an extra face on the back of his head which 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.
