Today your favorite weirdos are blurring the lines between real and fake, with the legend of Edward Mordrake.

Mordrake, while probably not a real person, may have been inspired by real life cases of conjoined twins throughout history. Today we're diving into the legend and some of the confirmed real life historical conjoined twins!
