Garden Hermit
We know well that rich people often have weird whims. Yet in the past their obsessions resulted in people suffering. During the 18th century, it was popular to have a personal hermit who lived in the garden. He was not allowed to wash and even to cut their nails and hair. Hermits lived in a handmade grotto and their owners showed them off in front of guests as "live decorations." Unbelievable!
