The Man Said to Have Been Born with a Demonic Face in the Back of His Head

Edward Mordrake; to serials, even to movies, songs and books became an inspiration. One of the most well-known examples of these is the character “Quirinus Quirrell” in Harry Potter, which will immediately come to mind for all of us.

Really being born with another face in the back of the head Is such a thing possible? What is the essence of Edward Mordrake’s story, which has been a question mark for centuries?

The demonic face wouldn’t shut up until he whispered to Mordrake and did his bidding.

Charles Lotin Hildreth was a poet and science fiction writer. Unlike factual stories, his stories were fantastic and Mordrake was featured in this book. In one of his books, Edward Mordrake is a 23-year-old musician living in seclusion and he was crying. the head in the back is laughing was writing. The demonic face wouldn’t shut up until he whispered something to her and made her do what she wanted.

Edward’s mental state was broken. Female face on the back of her head, not eating or drinking water but constantly speaking the “language of hell” it was bothering him.

Mordrake finally wanted to get rid of this face, even if the result was death. calling for help from doctors had been found. He committed suicide when he didn’t get what he wanted, and in his letter “your evil face” must be destroyed before being buried had written.

Even medical professionals believed it without question.

The eerieness of the story caught people’s attention and was constantly being added to it. Folk about Mordrake for more details it was dying out, and even the medics approached the story without doubt.

However, looking at the history of the period when he was thought to live, no trace of the doctors he called for help was found. So such a situation scientifically impossible it looked like.

There were cracks in the credibility of the story.

Moreover, the demon face was a woman. This eliminated the possibility of conjoined twins. Because conjoined twins because they come from a single egg they must be of the same gender.

Also, the story said that Edward was a nobleman. However, when investigated, neither a tombstone nor a body was found. In short, a case evidence of fiction was increasing.

The source of some of the images we come across is still unknown.

As might be expected, many newspapers in the late 19th century were similar to today. did not have broadcast standards. Although it was a source of information, short and fictional stories were also included. So people believed everything they read in the newspapers.

Some of the pictures and photographs circulating, story-inspired artwork though the fate of a few is still not fully resolved. The most well-known photograph above is said to have been made to represent it with a wax.

Here are a few examples that inspired Edward Mordrake:
