Fatal prediction for unusual sisters (7 photos)

The birth of viable conjoined twins is in itself like a miracle. And their lives turned out to be closely intertwined with mysticism.





Rosa and Josepha Blazek are Siamese twins from Bohemia (1878 - 1922), who belonged to the category of so-called pygopagus, that is, fused at the sacrum. The fate of the girls was predetermined - they worked at fairs, demonstrating themselves for money. But, interestingly, the secret of their own death was revealed to the sisters.



In childhood

In 1922, one of the most unusual predictions came true: the death of Rosa and Josepha Blazek, the famous conjoined twins.





Shortly before her death on March 30, 1922, one Carrie Hodecker of Wellston, Missouri consulted her Ouija board and learned that the first sister would die at 2:25 8 seconds Central Time. The press received a telegram with a prediction, which added: “Act immediately according to the instructions of the Ouija board.” The prophecy was wrong by only a few minutes. Josepha died first at 2:35 p.m.; Rose - a few minutes later. The prediction turned out to be true.



Rosa and Josepha were born on January 20, 1878 in Skerichovo in Bohemia, fused at the lower part of the spine. The girls grew up healthy and active, moving around with ease. Rose turned out to be physically stronger and therefore could choose the direction of movement.



In 1891, the girls began touring in Paris and London, calling themselves the Bohemian Twins. At age 15, they traveled to the States to take part in the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Soon after returning to Europe, while still very young, the sisters wanted to get married, but such an opportunity presented itself only in 1910.



That year, Rose gave birth to a son, Franz, in Prague. Her father wanted to marry Rosa, but her parents refused. The court didn't support it either. He refused the marriage because the groom was supposed to marry two women, not one. Marrying Rose would mean marrying Josepha, which would be bigamy. The father, rumored to be a captain in the German army, was killed in action in 1917. This was the only recorded case of the birth of an absolutely healthy child in women - Siamese twins.

In 1922 they went on a tour of the United States. But their trip did not last long. Rose fell ill with jaundice, and Josepha soon became infected as well.



With son

Josepha spent a week unconscious, and it became clear to doctors that she would die. The surgeons considered separation, but Rose made it clear that she did not want to be separated in that scenario.

“If Josepha dies, I will have nothing to live for,” said Rose.

The sisters left their heirs, brother and son Franz, $200,000 and a large farm.
