    The woman allowing poor cut up animals to be shoved up her hooch, is so lucky she didn’t get an infection. That whole story was sad-the dead animals-and gross-where the cut up animals were put.

    Luckily poor Mary Toft was not scared by an elephant! Now, you wouldn't think stuffing dead animal parts up your birth canal would be a sanitary thing to do. But, as fate would have it, in 1728 Mary gave birth to a baby girl whom she lovingly nicknamed "Bunny".

    Is it possible that Jane Lewson in fact were two different persons? If she was so reclusive that she hardly met anyone, could her daughter, who allegedly died before her, at some point have taken over Jane Lewsons identity? Could it have been Jane Lewson who died, and her daughter simply moving in assuming Jane’s identity?
