The Two-Faced Pascal Pinon

Pascal Pinon was born in 1889 in Mexico. Nothing is known about his origin, but there are versions that he was found in a tribe of local Indians. From birth, the child had an anomaly - he had two heads.

For the first time the two-headed young man becomes known when he was taken from Mexico to San Diego by John Scheidler, an organizer of spectacular enterprises and owner of a traveling circus. Scheidler found Pascal in terrible condition. He had been kept in a pen at the mine by local workers who considered the two-headed man to be the spawn of hell.

John Scheidler bought the young man out. The second head had an elaborate facial expression, making grimaces, smiling, getting angry, moving his lips. From this formed the feeling that the head was whispering something and wanted to say something. In 1929, his second head began to dry out in the literal sense of the word. Pascal, lost a lot of weight, dried out, and died.
