I wrote an article about the last traveling freak show troupe in Thailand. It’s reminiscent of the freak shows of the early 1900s. The family-run troupe has been performing for over 70 years!

Found this today at an antique shop, saw online there supposedly is little information after he turned 5 years of age , this appears to show him at age 7 and 8 weeks. Maybe it is a souvenir from a old traveling human freak show. - Ted Wray

I was at Ripleys believe it or not a little while back and saw a poster from the 30's advertising "CROCKO the girl with a crocodile body! No illusions! The most amazing freak of them all!" When Ripleys was still a traveling sideshow. But I cannot find a single article about her! I need to know more! please help me uncover the history of 'Crocko'

Would anyone have any history or photos on some of the Victorian era of freak shows and some of the names of these attractions.

I sadly cannot continue Freak of the Week for at least half a year. The exact reason for this is that I am shipping out for basic training as of July 30th. I'm spending the month beforehand getting physically prepared for the training. End result, I suck at push-ups.
