Devil Baby was not seen again for 35 years when in 1952 It was seized from an Oum'phor (Voodoo Temple) in one of the Catholic churches campaigns to stamp out Voodoo in Haiti. It was spared from the flames of the bonfire when Father Mllo Alaux stole him away and hid him in the chapel basement because of his possible implications to the church. After Father Alaux's death at the age of  79 in 1991, stewardship of Devil Baby fell into the hands of Phileppe Alaux, his son.  Not much else is known about Phileppe other than that for reasons unknown he sold Devil Baby to an American collector 2 years after Father Alaux's death.  He took his reasons to his grave after being shot in the streets of Port-De-Paix shortly after.  As for the collector (name withheld at the request of the family) who purchased the Devil Baby, he returned to America with his grisly cargo.  After only two months in the states, the brakes of his car gave out and he died in a fiery crash. We were able to obtain Devil Baby at a considerable cost when his estate was put up for sale by the family. So now, after much time and money spent on research in America and Haiti, and in spite of numerous threats from the Catholic Church and the Voodoo's, Devil Baby and his amazing story are available for public exposition for the first time. But there are many questions still to be answered.

 

Of the medical professionals we have consulted, opinion is divided as to wither Devil Baby is simply a freak of nature or the remnant of a lost race.  Professor James Danforth of the Smithsonian Institute seems to agree with the freak of nature theory, "We have seen such anomaly's from time to time throughout history.  The Chinaman with a horn-like appendage extending from his cranium is an excellent example. However, is (Devil Baby) is the mostly disturbing specimen of such anomalies as I have yet seen*. Regardless of the freak theory, local Haitian folklore tells of a race known as the Juju, or Devilment who once lived on what is now Haiti. Legend has it that the Juju were vicious warriors with "two horns upon their heads as goat, and teeth as long as your fingers". In fact Voodooists sometimes refer to man as a goat on two legs". Did this term stem  from legends of the Juju, or are further remains of the Juju hidden somewhere in Haiti? We may never know for sure, but a chance reading of a recent publication by an assistant has brought further compelling evidence light in this bizarre enigma.  In a book entitled Vampires, Zombies and Monster Men published by Aldus books appeared a startling photo (shown to the right) of two mummified corpses with prominent horns and large teeth.  The man who was displaying them in Haiti claimed they were of the lost race of Juju Devilmen! Effort is now under way to locate the man, but so far it has been fruitless, it would seem he has all but vanished.

 

These are the facts of the story.  So now as an enlightened observer you may make your own decision, Man or Devilman. Some names have been altered or withheld to protect those involved.   Below: A grisly exhibit of two shrunken mummified figures known as Clahuchu and his Bride, photographed In Haiti.  The ex­hibitor claimed the mummies were the last of the lost tribe of Juju or Devllmen. He also said that the skin, horns and hooves have beam x-rayed and found to be human.
