"Edward Mordrake was a 19th century English nobleman who had an extra face on the back of his head. According to the story, the extra face could neither eat nor speak, but it could laugh and cry. Edward begged doctors to have his ‘devil twin’ removed, because, supposedly, it whispered horrible things to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He committed suicide at the age of 23 by poisoning himself because he could no longer stand having to live with the face on the back of his head."

The Lovers of Valdaro.
This burial of a young man and woman, lying face to face, with their arms and legs entwined in an apparent eternal embrace was discovered by archaeologists near Mantua in Italy. The burial, which dates from the Neolithic period, was excavated as a single block so the two ‘lovers’ would not have to be separated.
