Mystical Tosh and weirdness . . . . its a weird place this planet we have come to rest upon . . . . . . mostly because we live on it!!! The human is capable of the weirdest stuff imaginable 




Shrunken Mummified Devils
“Clahuchu and his Bride - Known and feared as ‘they who creep at night.’ These shrunken mummified figures were found in a crude tomblike cave on the island of Haiti in 1740 by a party of French Marines They are supposed to be the remains of a lost tribe of “Ju-Ju” or devil men…who,after death, followed a custom of shrinking and mummifying their dead. Are they real? We don’t know but…X-Rays showed skin, horns, and hooves - human!“




What the actual . . . . . . ?!?
Of course there are evil babies drawing in your walls, what else?!

Rattles and Their Causes by Abe Marmon, 1906.



This newspaper clipping was printed in the Boston Hearld in January 1892, and was an advertisement for “The Living 2 Headed Boy” at Austin and Stone’s Museum. The clipping was mounted and found in the collections of the Warren Anatomical Museum.
