Presented in 1937, "Olga the Headless Girl" is believed to be the first "Headless Girl" act in the United States. That particular demonstration was brought to America from Hamburg, Germany by a man who billed himself as "Doctor" Heineman and was a featured exhibit at the New York World's Fair (EXPO New York City) of 1939. In the Mid-1970s, Ward Hall & C.M. Christ added two headless attractions to their sideshow and the "headless girl" tradition lives on with Ward Hall and the World of Wonders! The act displayed here on August 13, 2015 at the Skowhegan State Fair was presented by Tommy Breen, and Miss Spooky.Follow Us On Facebook:
