The Hilton Sisters being abandoned in Charlotte NC ended up being one of the best things that ever happened to them. They were taken in by the Charlotte community and cared for and truly loved for the first time in their lives. A church immediately took them in and found them housing. They had their very own house for the first time in their lives. The local grocery store hired them and they worked behind the counter much of the time, where they felt comfortable and not on display. They were beloved and respected in Charlotte. At the end of their lives, it was the community that checked in on them and discovered that they had passed. They had caught a very nasty flu and had called out of work sick. When they didn't answer calls, their grocery store family came to their home and discovered what had occurred. Because they did not have much money, the Thompson family donated a burial plot where their son, Troy was buried. They had a nice funeral. Many people cared for them and attended. Despite having such tragic, terrible circumstances surrounding them most of their lives, they found acceptance and love in the end. They were loved. My parents were born and raised in Charlotte and remember seeing the sisters working at the grocery store many times. They were a part of our community. According to the older folks around here, Charlotte was where they finally felt at home and not like freaks. They were happy here.

If they had made an attempt to separate them after the one had died, there is a good chance that the remaining twin would have survived. The remaining twin likely died due to the products of decomposition entering her circulatory system and causing sepsis, rather than from the 'flu that originally infected them both.

Rest in peace Violet and Daisy . I'm so sorry you were both exploited by the people who really should have cared for you. Also, Mr. Thompson thank you for your service to our country.😇😇

I lived in Charlotte in the early 60s, I was around 5,or 6, and we shopped where they worked, they worked in the produce department weighing the produce, they had 2 scales one for each of them. I was in aura of them, they fascinated me being so young and never seeing anyone like them. I would stand by them and they would let me put things on the scales to be weighed. They were always smiling and didn't mind a child's curiosity, or constant chattering. I never knew their incredible story until I got older. I can see them still in my mind eye, they wore bright red checked shirts, blue skirts and had the brightest red hair I had ever seen. RIP 🙏

The twins were buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Charlotte, but with just $1,000 to their name, there wasn't enough money to buy their own cemetery plot, so they had to share one with the son of an acquaintance, a Vietnam soldier named Troy Thompson. According to the Charlotte Observer, the twins had a quiet funeral with friends and co-workers. And that was the end of the sad, strange (but kind of okay, in the end), lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton.

The larger wound was just over 10% of my skin surface. What I remember of it is that it was painful but not unbearably so. Mostly I was extremely exhausted, unlike anything I've ever felt before. So exhausted that I literally could not move my hands or any other part of my body. If I had been alone, I would simply have drifted into unconsciousness fairly rapidly and never regained it. The Hong Kong flu that year was terrible. It was a novel flu, so even young, healthy people were badly affected and many died.

You're judging the story from the comfort of your modern civilization. Your using modern morals to judge the past it's not really fair. Freak shows actually were the best option for people with deformitys back then. You have to understand there's no social security there's no welfare there's no disability checks. If you could not work someone either took care of you or you starved to death begging for money in the streets. Joining the circus or a freak show allowed you the independence of making your own money and some of the freaks around the turn of the century actually made pretty good money making more than they would have if they were born normal and working in one of the textile factories or something. For example Chang and yang Siamese twins from Burma died millionaires. If they never join the circus and become a freak show they would have to resort to living on the streets begging for money. I know it's hard to comprehend and it's not your fault you didn't live in the late 1800s early 1900s their way of living was just as alien to you as your way of living would be to them. The issue comes when we start taking our modern morals and trying to place them on people in the past. Just know that 100 years from now someone will be taking their morals and placing them on you and you will be the monster who doesn't measure up to their standards.

Especially by the 1940's. Great story, glad you covered it. Stay safe out there! No police, helicopters, or other such craziness if it involves you, lol!

Tragic that they may have survived if they had been separated but they weren't. They were pretty. RIP Ladies.

I believe these are the two conjoined twins that my mom told me about. We lived on McDonald Ave in Charlotte for 40+ years, and the Park-n-shop they worked at as cashiers was at the end of the road just down from our house. Mom told the story that the owner had set 2 registers just apart, one from the other so that both young women could work together for him

Troy's family was friendly to the sisters. When they died with no money, the family allowed them to be buried in their lot next to Troy.

They say time changes everything but people never change

God bless that grocery store owner for taking them on tho. At least there was one person to notice their absence ABD notify the authorities

When I was a small child, I'd go with my mom to Park and Shop, and they weighed produce ..two lines, two scales. I remember them as very nice, sweet, friendly ladies. They always spoke to me. RIP ladies!

How heartbreaking, I can’t imagine what the last surviving sister must of gone through to be joined to her deceased sister , it was she only lived 3 days after her sister died. Same she didn’t live many more years

Haven't seen it in a while but as I remember, most of the actors were "freaks" in reality. To me, it was not just a 'horror' movie, it was dramatic, scary, fun and sad all together.

American horror story used season 4 freak show based on this film.

Love how you tell people's story and adding photos 👍

A very sad story. It’s horrifying to know how long Violet had her sister on her after death. I just wanna cry for them.

Love the longer videos. Excellent job on this one. Rip to Daisy, Violet and Troy.

Thanks Lamont very interesting story sad for the sisters.

So 😐 sad... now they are perfect and happy in the arms of GOD 🙏... may they rest in peace...

My grandfather was a twin.

My father was a musician who was in a band that played with the Hilton sisters sometime in the 1940's either in New York State or Ohio. He was very impressed with them, especially Violet. He said she seemed more outgoing than Daisy, Daisy was quieter but had a "very dry" sense of humor.

Welcome to Charlotte 😊 I live not far from there. Will need to visit there. So sad they were very beautiful too. RIP

I suppose the decomposing corpse of the dead one would have poisoned the blood?

Lorenz, I was thinking the same. That's would have happened.

I think they shared circulatory systems, believe that got mentioned. So sadly, that's probably what happened.

If both ladies had the flu, their bodies could have been weakened. Even if they only shared some small blood vessels, after one died, the other sister could have become septic due to sharing even small blood vessels. Having a decomposing body attached to you (even if only by some small blood vessels) it would cause high rates of bacteria to enter the living sister's system. She most likely already had the flu and from the flu a compromised system. Because her system/body was already weekend by the flu, any additional bacteria would have killed her. Even if the sister did not have the flu, bacteria from the deceased sister could have caused her system to become septic and kill her. It's hard to tell the exact cause of death without performing the autopsy myself or looking through the records from the coroner. Both sister may have had other health complications that contributed to their death. I pray the sisters are back home, in peace and with GOD.

I have read much on the twins...I believe one was married. Very interesting story

What a fascinating, yet incredibly tragic story from the start. That surgery would be no problem today, that's for sure. Their lives would have been very different if they had been born today.

How interesting they could have been separated even then but chose not too.

Your videos are over way to soon for me, you’re a great story teller. Really enjoy your videos and stories Sir!

Anyone who hits a child with a buckle end of a belt is a monster and should be in jail for a very long time! 😡

You always do a amazing job thank you

I've been working on the Hilton sisters for a reboot of my channel. I'm currently trying to find the motel their manager dumped them at. Knowing Mooresville area it's probably still standing. The sisters were produce clerks at the Park and Shop which is still standing and the 2 bedroom house they died in was owned by their church and has apparently been torn down and replaced by generic brick duplexes. Most likely low income housing. Troy Thompson was a family friend that was killed in Vietnam.

Omg, I live a mile away from this cemetery & have many relatives buried here...how cool is this??? P.S. ~ These are the same twins my friend was telling me about a couple months ago that used to work at Park N Shop; what a coincidence! I hate that they had such a troubled life though💔

Thank you Lamont very interesting! love from the UK x

It’s sad that the conjoined twins where sold and treated so badly but at least when they met hairy Houdini in a way helped them get their freedom and at least the man who gave them a job he originally said that he was only going to paid them for one person he ended up paying them for two which was definitely very Generous of him to do but it is also sad that the conjoined twins passed away do to the flu but the only good thing was that they weren’t murdered and their boss did the right thing it sounds like he was a good and kind hearted person

Lamont, I'm so glad you sound like you're feeling better. I've been praying for you. Very interesting story, but so so sad. These little girls were beautiful but because they were different they weren't treated as people. What a shame.

According to find-a-grave, Troy's father was an acquaintance of the Hilton twins, and added them to the family plot

Excellent video! I never heard of the Hilton conjoined twins. I learn something new everyday!

A sad story. I've never heard of them. Thanks Lamont for bringing us this story.

Hey Lamont I like your longer videos and you always explain everything perfectly! Keep it up, we all enjoy you immensely!

Hay Lamont thanks for sharing this story there are so many sad and interesting stories of people out there I am so thankful for all you do thanks again my friend.
