The Lion-Faced Man (1830 – 1932)

via

In a rather sad turn of events, Stephan Bibrowski was given away to a German entertainer when he was born because she thought her hypertrichosis son was inhuman. She believed that he was the way he was because her husband was attacked by a lion when she was pregnant. He then became the Lion-Faced Man. He was also known for her gymnastic tricks.
