Sideshows have been a mainstay of employment for peculiars hiding in plain sight.

HERE ARE SOME FAMOUS PECULIAR SIDESHOW ARTISTS:

Arachnagirl worked in Berlin’s infamous Monstrositätenshow. For ten pfennig, customers viewed her “dance of the web.” But for a deutschmark they were allowed behind the screen, where from the neck down she was all spider. It’s said she hatched over five hundred children, every one of them normal.

“Walter Wentworth, 75 years old, and for many years a professional contortionist, is in New York looking for someone to buy his body. He has long been a wonder to medical men on account of the wonderful pliability of his frame, which he has already sold twice—once to Dr. Cowes of Detroit, and later to Dr. Wilder of New York, receiving in each case $100. Both these medical men are dead and now Wentworth is looking for a third speculator.” —Brooklyn Daily Eagle, April 28, 1900

Walter Wentworth, contortionist.
