Horned Woman
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 11th, 2010
Joe Hill, author of Horns, attempted a visit to the International Cryptozoology Museum, and then I ran across this breaking news, with a photo:
Zhang Ruifang, 101, began growing a horn last year. It is now 2.4 inches long. Another one is appearing out of the other side of her forehead. The Daily Mail.
Ah, an intriguing coincidence, after Joe Hill makes an appearance. Who could have ever imagined that?
- Similar Phenomena:
I know of several such cases. This horns are not true horns in the anatomical sense, because they are not outgrowth of the skull but only of the skin. It´s more comparable to a wart. I think in one of Karl Shuker´s books there is even a drawing of a cow which has such an outgrowth of enormous size on the forehead.
There is a man who works in my building who has a similar outgrowth from the forehead, just above his brow. Not nearly as large as the one above, his is also lighter in color. I try not to stare at him in the elevator. Probably a wart.
I will admit the “second” one looks like a wart or mole, but what would make it end up looking like this? Is there something in common causing these things to grow into “horns”?
