Gloomy Saturndays

obscureoddities:

Josephine Myrtle Corbin was a sideshow performer who became one of the most infamous cases of being a dipygus. This meant that she had two separate pelvises, a result of her body being halfway split down the middle as she was developing. She had two smaller inner legs that were paired with the “normal” sized outer legs; she was able to move the smaller ones, although she had said that they were too weak for walking. Entering the sideshow circuit for a few years, at the age of 19, she eventually married a doctor and gave birth to five children - with two fully-functioning reproductive systems, it was said that some of her children came from one, and some from the other.
