SUMMARY
-Petrus Gonsalvus was an unusual baby: his entire body was covered with hair. As he grew up, Petrus married a beautiful woman called Lady Catherine. Their story is said to have inspired Beauty and the Beast.
-Francesco Lentini had 3 legs but learned to ride a bike and play football, and he was so amazing at all of this that at the age of 8 he went to the US and became a circus performer.
-The exceptional abilities of Christian Heinrich Heineken were obvious from a very young age. At just 10 months old, Christian could already speak, repeating the names of objects and sometimes even fully formed sentences.
-At the age of 15, Anna Haining Swan was already 6’ 8" tall and weighed around 220 lb. When she was 25, she fell in love with a circus performer named Martin Bates. He reached 6’ 8" by the time he turned 14.
-William Milligan was born in 1955 in Florida and had a rare psychological disorder, which made him have 24 full-fledged personalities who were not responsible for each other’s actions.
-Ella Harper was born with recurved knees that bent in the opposite direction to normal knees. The only way she could get around was on all fours.
-June and Jennifer Gibbons were born in 1963 in Barbados. From their very first days, the girls were quiet and didn’t communicate with anyone. As it turned out, June and Jennifer had a difficult and complicated relationship and expressed their love and hate for one another in their diaries.
