Craniopagus parasiticus pictures



I certainly have no idea why, but according to the log of sites which lead people here, there has been an explosion in people looking for pictures of the birth defect, craniopagus parasiticus, which is when a baby is born with two heads - usually one on top of the other. Anyway, I had written a post about it a few weeks ago, which is why I think my site ranked highly in the searches for it. I had found a site with pictures and explanations about that and other types of parasitic twins. It’s right here, although it says it is “temporarily unavailable” because it has exceeded its bandwidth limits. So I guess I’m not the only one getting a lot of traffic off this newfound interest in this.

Looks like there’s a book on Amazon about malformations of conjoined twins. Haven’t read it, but it might be of interest to people looking for info on this topic. And another book for kids about conjoined twins with an extremely bizarre cover.

Wait a minute! I just found a treasure trove of books about this stuff that look really good:

  • The Two-Headed Boy, and Other Medical Marvels
  • Medical Curiosities : A Miscellany of Medical Oddities, Horrors and Humors
  • Sideshow: Alive on the Inside
  • A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities
  • Monsters: Human Freaks in America’s Gilded Age: The Photographs of Chas Eisenmann
  • Freak Show: Presenting Human Oddities for Amusement and Profit
  • Freakery: Cultural Spectacles of the Extraordinary Body
  • Very Special People: The Struggles, Loves and Triumphs of Human Oddities
  • Freaks: We Who Are Not As Others
  • Wild, Weird, and Wonderful: The American Circus Circa 1910 as seen by F. W. Glasier
  • Freaks, Geeks and Strange Girls: Sideshow Banners of the Great American Midway
  • Sideshow U.S.A: Freaks and the American Cultural Imagination

    Anyway, hope all is well with everybody. I am starting my second week in Baltimore, and having a lot of fun here, as expected. Maybe I’ll write some more later on.

    Oh, and to all the people who seem to be coming here all of a sudden - HI! Why don’t you look around while you’re here. There’s tons of cool shit on here, like occult & paranormal investigations, cool pictures, and lots more.
