Have you seen someone who is different from a normal human form? Sad to say, it is our nature to stare to someone who is different from us. From the year of 1900, one of the programs in the circus or carnivals that people liked was showing the public the people who is different from an ordinary person. This is called the Freak Shows or sideshows. Back then, it is social acceptable and family entertainment to make fun of them.

For many centuries, people interpret these severe physical deformities as bad omens. But this superstitious belief was forgotten because of the increasing public curiosity. Businessmen gave jobs to the freaks (this is what they called those who have severe physical deformation), hiring them to work on the circuses to amuse people.

Today, the freak shows were ousted because of moral issues. Let us look behind and see vintage photos of the freak show performers back time. Will you be afraid and cause you nightmares as you see these photos? Let us see.
