Creepy Photos Reveal A Different Side History

Photographed In 1880, Myrtle Corbin Was Born A Dipygus Having Two Separately Functioning Pelvises And Four Legs.

Josephine Myrtle Corbin was an American sideshow performer born a dipygus. Which means, her body axis split while it was developing and as a result, she grew two separate pelvises, positioned side by side. She also had four legs, each outer leg was paired with a smaller inner leg. While she was able to move her inner legs, they were too weak for walking. She entered the sideshow circuit when she was 13-years old with the moniker "Four-Legged Girl from Texas".
