Edward Moordrake

By Crusader1307

Perhaps a 19th Century Urban Legend, The Story of Edward Moordrake is indeed bizarre (if true). Around 1895 in Boston – a Tale circulated about Mr. Moondrake (a Resident of The City of Boston) – who was descended from English Nobility. But His ''bloodline'' had made a ''pact with Satan'' (at some point), and was ''cursed with an unusual malady''. You see, Edward had ''two faces''. His ''normal'' front appearing one, and another ''growing out of the back of His head! And worse, while Edward was a ''good hearted and kind Man'' – His ''other face'' was a snarling and Evil thing. It often ''spoke'' of only Evil things and described scenes from Hell. Edward tried to hide His other face with long hair and head wraps, but this seldom worked. This caused Edward to spend most of His life hiding and shunning the company of His fellows. It was rumored that He took His own life, but that when His body was found, the ''other face'' STILL LIVED. It was only after several weeks of decomposition of His ''Host Body'' did this ''Demon Face'' FINALLY die. Edward's body was finally buried in an unmarked grave SOMEWHERE in The Boston Area.
