In the 1500s, European sailors and explorers reported encountering giants, some up to twelve feet tall, in Patagonia, the southern tip of South America. The folks back home thought they were seeing things or outright lying. A giant was captured to take back as evidence, but it broke lose while out at sea. The crew was forced to kill him. The body was mummified using salt. When people saw this unbelievable creature, they decided Patagonia was not a safe place to visit. What amazed people about this huge man, was he had two heads. There is a body on display in Baltimore, many say it's a fake. Was the original creature real, or just a manufactured sideshow attraction?
