Something odd is happening to 101-year-old Chinese grandmother Zhang Ruifang from Linlou village in China’s Henan province. In the past year, a mysterious protrusion, which has been compared to a goat horn, has been growing out of the left side of her forehead. The horn is about 6 centimeters (2.36 inches) long and a second, similar growth has also begun to appear on the other side of her forehead.
Medical experts are unsure of what the growth is, but it is said to resemble a cutaneous horn, which is made up of compacted keratin, the protein found in hair and nails. Such growths can appear in the elderly, especially those with a history of significant sun exposure, but a growth of this size is extremely rare.
Or maybe, just maybe…well, is it me or is everyone skirting the obvious explanation for what this woman might be turning into?
I know everyone’s being nice and comparing her growth to a goat horn but take a good look at the picture above and tell me what it really resembles. Come on, you know what I’m getting at. And if you don’t, maybe our old furry friend can make it clear:
Someone might want to check if a tail is also extending out of this grandmother’s rear and if her feet are morphing into hooves. And please, get that pitchfork out of her hands.





Awesome! I want to be her for halloween
she’s also got quite the “scary” lookin’ hand/fingers too…VERY SWOLLEN and LARGE….arthritis maybe??
silly. she’s just a unicorn.
ridiculous
Wow, Philip. How do you always manage to find the whackiest and most obscure stuff?
@Iris, it’s a function of having no life and reading every blog/website/book I pretty much come across.
Are you sure this isn’t a promo for the new comic book movie Hell-Lady?
I’ve seen this sort of thing at Philly’s fantastico, horribilis and cannot-be-forgotten Muetter Museum. To explain, it’s the museum of medical oddities. Such horns are, if I remember right through my fright and upchucking at every turn whilst walking through, a form of hair. I could be wrong. I can’t explain. Bad thoughts rise in me as I type.
Best thing and most-remembered, as it’s slightly funny but wasn’t to the unfortunate victim, was the 64-lb. colon. Could be off on the poundage.
Here’s the shitty story: guy doesn’t go poop for most of his adult life. Really. He kept it. Believe he had a mental issue. And there is on display in a display case is not the real thing — how could they do it successfully anyways — but a paper mache representation of the distended colon. It looked like a 4′ sweet potato. Here’s the topper — poor fellow died in a toilet. He had tried to poop.
All I can say is, good thing homegirl is Chinese! There are many Western nations even today where she’s be burned at the stake. Here’s a tip, grandma: America is nice but don’t go to the red states.
Seriously though, it’s pretty awesome. Just think what other mutations are lurking in our DNA waiting to be expressed.
wrong, Mutter Museum.
