The Bearded Lady of Sherwood Forest
Dorothea Langton known as the bearded lady was found in a forest cavern near Sherwood England around 1618. She lived in isolation for thirty seven years subsisting on wild berries and spring water. Her beard grew rapidly to her chest and she died shortly after returning to London with her uncle who had traveled to verify her identity. Both were buried in the same grave.
