The Man With Two Faces


Edward Mordake (sometimes spelled Edward Mordrake) was an heir to an English peerage who reportedly had an extra face on the back of his head. 

The duplicate face could neither eat nor speak out loud but was seen to “smile and sneer while Mordake was weeping.” 

Mordake reportedly begged doctors to have his “Demon face” removed, claiming that it whispered to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it.
