Linha São Pedro, a small settlement in the city of Cádido Godoi in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and close to the Argentine border, is famous for having many twins.

This doctor is accused of being responsible for 400,000 deaths caused by sick medical experiments. Among the victims of this doctor, there are many who are twins. Another report also indicates that, among the twins here, there are many pairs with blonde hair and blue eyes.
