101 Faces of the Forgotten: Human Shrunken Heads
One-Night Nations: A Memoir of Sorts
In 1995, G. H. McGinty’s fascination with ancient artifacts ignited a passion that would shape the course of his life. It began with the trade of rare Egyptian antiquities, each piece carrying the weight and mystery of a civilization long gone.
In 1999, a chance encounter set him on a far darker and more extraordinary path.
The acquisition of his first authentic human shrunken head—both unsettling and deeply compelling—sparked a lifelong pursuit into the hidden history of tsantsa and the practice of head shrinking in the Amazon regions of South America.
What followed was not a passing interest, but a 25-year investigation into a subject often dismissed as myth. Through years of collecting, research, and firsthand study, McGinty has worked to bring clarity to one of the most misunderstood and controversial practices in human history.
His work seeks to pull this subject out of rumor and legend—and into documented reality.
