Two faced Man – EDWARD MORDAKE!


  • There is an interesting topic regarding a man with 2 faced personality from England named EDWARD MORDAKE born to an English couple in 19th century.
  • Edward’s story is one of the weirdest as well as most melancholy stories of human deformity.
  • He had a duplicate face on the backside of his face. This face could not see or eat or speak out loud but was said to "sneer while Mordake was happy" and "smile while Mordake was weeping. This just does opposite to what Mordake do. He repeatedly begged doctors to remove the face. But no one dared to do that.
  • He couldn’t bear the torture the face made at night. It would whisper all things that “one would only speak about in the hell.”
  • He lived in complete seclusion, refusing the visits even of the members of his own family. He was a young man of fine attainments, a profound scholar, and a musician of rare ability. His figure was remarkable for its grace, and his face – that is to say, his natural face – was that of an Antonius.
  • Some versions say that the demon face is of a female but that is impossible because all parasitic twins are of same sex.

But whatever the matter is that ugly face made the person to do suicide. He procured poison procure poison, whereof he died, leaving a letter requesting that the "demon face" might be destroyed before his burial or else it continues its dreadful whisperings in my grave. At his own request, he was interred in a waste place, without stone or legend to mark his grave.
