Yes what a disgusting pig!!!! The selfishness and greed is just crazy. He should at least not have gotten her pregnant considering not knowing what the outcome would be. That baby was probably her only happiness and that was taken away too 😪
His end was his beginning! He lost his mind n was locked away in a Russian asylum! Very nice! Then after his death I'm sure he is still suffering 4 his greed n cruelty! Fat dick! No rest 4 u!
This was a very interesting but yet horrific story of a woman who was exploited in every imaginable way. I'm glad that she finally received some decent treatment in her memorial and subsequent burial. May she rest in eternal peace with her son. Great investigation work, as usual.
@@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279 Was that according to Lent or the other ring masters? I mean, there's nothing wrong with being financially stable, especially during the 1850s because women pretty much had no rights, especially disabled women of color.
@@lb8141 what? I asked what is your idea about Palestine there are many people are dieing through Israel are they not poor Julia pastana were only one but there are millions people in Palestine dieing with pain 😢
Yeah and according to Wikipedia, her son didn't even get to be buried with her because the eggheads that broke in and stole her. Well, they somehow let mice devour the baby boy's remains.
I've seen autopsy pictures of her and son online I was taken aback how small she was and her son was a beautiful handsome baby, I hope she and son resting in peace.
It was sad, and tragically what they did to her before, and after her death, and to her poor baby. RIP Your narration on this story, was outstanding FLives. So well done! Thank you so much.
Sarah Baartman was a beautiful woman with a beautiful body! The white men used her, gave her sexually transmitted diseases and put her on display in circuses!! After she died young, they examined her body and put it on display... These people have a long history of keeping bodies after death. Like it amazes them so much that they can't just bury them... SICK
Looking at her photo, Julia doesn't look as bad or "inhuman" as the carricature drawings of her. I find her beautiful, both inside and outside. It's infuriating and sad how people saw her less of a human just because she looked different.
I agree. All the drawn picture of her make her look really masculine, like she’s just a man dressed as a woman, but the photos of her show her as rather feminine looking.
What an interesting video!!! I cannot believe how wicked people can be!! At that time they didn't know many things about genetics and diseases but that she was a human being she should've been treated as such!!! Thank you for telling us such an amazing story of an amazing person. This woman showed those people at that time that beauty could come from within...so sad do brilliant thank you
Just like the Elephant Man (Joseph Merrick), Julia's case is very sad as well. Exploited by greed and then to have her body persevered and put on display for over hundred years is sickening. I'm glad Julia was returned to the United Méxican States 🇲🇽, and her state was the beautiful state of Sinaloa, as this should've been what they did in the first place. The positive side of her traveling in the show was that she was educated, able to perform arts and got to see some beautiful countries that she wouldn't have had the opportunity to do if she stayed in her small town in Sinaloa.
Only thing about Merick, is that he want to make money off of his grotesque appearance. He came up with the name “the elephant man”. To bad some stupid Protestants had his attraction shut down due to being “unethical”.
That poor woman. It took over a hundred years for her to be properly buried and apparently her son was never buried. To treat any human being thusly is reprehensible. But for her husband and the baby's father to do so. Ewwww. RIP Julia. Was the baby named? RIP baby Lent-Pastano
Susan Young This is why, I no longer want to eat tortured animals. I do not want to be treated this way, no one should, not just humans, but anyone. ♥️
That the baby wasn't even named is so very sad. My uncle and his wife had a baby that died in utero and they named him. His gravestone reads J*** I*** Jr. (Sorry I believe in his parents privacy. My name is real but that is my choice.) Baby Lent- Pastrano was born alive. If only for a short time.
I would like to say that this is my first time watching one of your videos, and I am very gratified to see how honestly but sensitively you handle Julia's story. I had never heard of her before but I will never forget her now after this touching video. I especially liked the part where poor Julia was finally buried. Bless her tender heart, she was so young. Thank you for teaching me about her. You did a fantastic job telling her story. Thank you.
Well. That's a lot. At least she felt loved in the end, whether or not it was true. It's terrible what happened to her body and worse for her child, but they weren't in those bodies anymore to suffer.
Julia A Julia is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She’s so kind and understanding. While she may be quiet And reserved, she is so funny in her own way. She’s so clever and beautiful, and will ALWAYS be there for you no matter what. She can be a bit over-trusting and this can be a disadvantage for her. She may sometimes be so involved in the wellness of others that she forgets to take care of herself; this is her fatal flaw. She’s got so much energy and such a great heart that she attracts so many people to be her friend. She’s very loyal to a small group of friends, 3 people or so, and they’re just like sisters. They’ve been through everything together and will continue to do just that. She’s so smart and academically gifted, regardless of what she may say to be humble. She loves to draw, paint, and sketch on her homework.. this might sometime get her in trouble but the teachers don’t mind her. They know she’s such a sweet, kind, generous, and wonderful person. Julia’s are typically petite, gentle-looking people with great, big, beautiful eyes. They constantly criticize themselves, but no one else can see the flaws she adamantly insists to be present. She doesn’t have to try and dress up to look good, because she looks go no matter what. Anyone who is lucky enough to date a Julia doesn’t deserve her. This lady is a Julia through and through
💙😢What a sad story FL. I've seen other things about her life. But I must say that you did a really great job of being respectful and compassionate in sharing her story. And a wonderful job on researching the images for this case. I saw so many that I've never seen before. Such a well crafted video💙💙
This is a beautifully done video. I love how you give all the information with such respect and care. I'm really enjoying these narrations. If anyone wants a bit more of the beautiful Mrs Pastrana, may I suggest the UA-cam channel ask a mortician. She's done a lovely piece on Julia. Please know I added this suggestion with no disrespect to our wonderful narrator. He's done a fantastic job, I simply enjoyed a similar video.
I have heard of Julia Pastrana, and it is great she has finally been allowed to rest in peace after decades of her body being passed around like an piece of furniture from person to person.
Poor woman treated badly because of a disability. At least some people tried to understand her while others just wanted to exploit her. But always one to make money whenever possible Lent tries to show them off in death? 🤢!! I'm grateful she finally was laid to rest. Another great presentation FL Thank you 💕
There was another woman with the same condition who was with P.T. Barnum's troupe (I think)--she married a man with so-called "alligator skin" and they retired to Florida.
I believe there have been quite a few "bearded" women over the centuries. Several were exploited as Julia was, but quite a few took to the carnival life and seemed to revel in the attention. I believe for many years they were called the freak show. Anyone with some form of genetic malformation was subject to just such a life. I'm glad that Forgotten Lives has brought one such to our attention. Thanks for doing so.
@P Johnson I saw a bit about that town in another story. Something about a murder and Lobster Boy. Grady something. They showed some background about the town where circus performers live during the off season.
Yes, what a trafic and overwhelmingly sad life and afterlife. You did a great job gathering all the available details together as well as all the images - you are a brilliant narrator 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely incredible, how very sad, disgusting how her remains and child remains to have got treated, to still be getting badly treated even in death horrific, glad she at least got a funeral in the end , thank you for telling her story 🙂
Literally started crying I was hoping she got a proper burial this is by far the best video I’ve ever seen what a great story and you’re a great story teller!
What a story of unbelievable cruelty of human being to exploit a fellow human for money not to mention that it is hs wife and son. It indeed reminds me of the Bible reminder of the evil in mammon. Thank you for your story
Holy crap. What a terribly sad story. Monster? Those people who used her were the monsters. And what they did to that poor little baby? Shame. Thanks FL. Well done.🙏💔
Bless her, people are so cruel and ignorant about genetic anomalies. Men look on the outward appearance, whereas, the Lord looks on the inside. I am sure that even today that she would be bullied and treated cruelly. I wish her beautiful voice, intelligence, and humanity would become her legacy. Thanks Forgotten Lives for such a wonderfully narrated story.
What an incredibly sad story don’t know why this one hit me hard I can only hope she did have some joy in her short life. On a lighter note I am so happy to have found you and your channel. I adore your narration and voice and you find the most fascinating stories well done from a fan in NC USA.❤️

I love the stories you tell of these real people from the past. An interesting story I would like to hear is of the 5 year old Peruvian girl, Lina Medina, who was the youngest person to give birth.
Yup, I'm subscribed. Came on Brief Case's recommendation, listened and loved. Well done ... BRAVO Found my today's activity - major binge session. Thanks again !
It breaks my heart that her newborn son died. The love she had for him would have changed their lives forever. Her husband finally succumbed to the “Ghost of Guilt” . Tearing up & throwing the money his ‘wife’ had made him....really brought it full circle. Nothing in life is free....but LOVE SHOULD BE ✌️
Evan more sadder was that his death would of most likely not happened from those instruments they use to use on women like this is why female doctors need to be there cause misogynistic male doctors don't understand female anatomy
It is horrifying and vile enough that he did this to a human being, to HIS WIFE, after she passed. But what disturbs me even more than that is the fact that he literally did the same thing TO HIS OWN SON. He exploited his own child's body after he died, and no one, not a single soul found this extremely disturbing?? As a true crime fan, I realise that morbid curiosity can make people do weird shit, but this is so fucked up because apparently, people were eager to contribute to him earning more money...
"Stored" 😔 Lord bless her for all she's endured. Thank God for that long-coming funeral she deserved. Rest in Peace with your baby boy, Julia Pastrana ⚘⚘⚘
Outrageous exploitation. I'm glad a lot of people even at that time were against how she was being treated. It's so crazy how someone can be living autonomously, and then suddenly be claimed as property, bought and sold, just like that.
Wow. I reallyappreciate and learn from your videos. They are informative and well made, but it´s hard to say I like what happens to so many of these people. So, I press like for your work and the information. I only wish I could replace the thumbs up with a "thank you".
Very sad. This reminds me of the Elephant Man. Also years ago before there were laws to protect people , there were cases of conjoined twins being put on show at circuses. Those bodies of mother and son should be buried with respect . I'm glad the Catholic Church could at least do the right thing for the mother.
What an incredibly interesting and well done video! Excellent Job! I got teary for this woman and her child. What cruelty. Then her child perished while they both were stored. I am truly surprised that her fate was still being decided into this century. That the second wife of the grifter husband sold her! They already had a fortune. Such a dark side of human greed. May she and her child be in a loving place, free of earthly cruelty. Excellent research job and delivery! Again- Excellent! Thank you! 💕😄
I love stories about native people's. Their culture interest me greatly. They seem to live in harmony with nature and did so for Generations. Modern day Society seems to have forgotten how to do that. I like your videos, keep them coming.

A Julia is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She’s so kind and understanding. While she may be quiet And reserved, she is so funny in her own way. She’s so clever and beautiful, and will ALWAYS be there for you no matter what. She can be a bit over-trusting and this can be a disadvantage for her. She may sometimes be so involved in the wellness of others that she forgets to take care of herself; this is her fatal flaw.
She’s got so much energy and such a great heart that she attracts so many people to be her friend. She’s very loyal to a small group of friends, 3 people or so, and they’re just like sisters. They’ve been through everything together and will continue to do just that.
She’s so smart and academically gifted, regardless of what she may say to be humble. She loves to draw, paint, and sketch on her homework.. this might sometime get her in trouble but the teachers don’t mind her. They know she’s such a sweet, kind, generous, and wonderful person.
Julia’s are typically petite, gentle-looking people with great, big, beautiful eyes. They constantly criticize themselves, but no one else can see the flaws she adamantly insists to be present. She doesn’t have to try and dress up to look good, because she looks go no matter what.
Anyone who is lucky enough to date a Julia doesn’t deserve her.

That is one of the saddest stories I've ever heard.
RIP Julia & baby ♥
It breaks my heart that her newborn son died. The love she had for him would have changed their lives forever.
Her husband finally succumbed to the “Ghost of Guilt” . Tearing up & throwing the money his ‘wife’ had made him....really brought it full circle. Nothing in life is free....but
LOVE SHOULD BE ✌️
Evan more sadder was that his death would of most likely not happened from those instruments they use to use on women like this is why female doctors need to be there cause misogynistic male doctors don't understand female anatomy
Interesting story but very sad, thanks FL
Hey the main man Crime Reel.
Cheers CR!
It is horrifying and vile enough that he did this to a human being, to HIS WIFE, after she passed. But what disturbs me even more than that is the fact that he literally did the same thing TO HIS OWN SON. He exploited his own child's body after he died, and no one, not a single soul found this extremely disturbing?? As a true crime fan, I realise that morbid curiosity can make people do weird shit, but this is so fucked up because apparently, people were eager to contribute to him earning more money...
So happy to hear, Julia had a proper burial in her home state. Poor child didnt fair as well. Pray for them to find peace in the afterlife.
"Stored" 😔 Lord bless her for all she's endured. Thank God for that long-coming funeral she deserved. Rest in Peace with your baby boy, Julia Pastrana ⚘⚘⚘
Outrageous exploitation. I'm glad a lot of people even at that time were against how she was being treated. It's so crazy how someone can be living autonomously, and then suddenly be claimed as property, bought and sold, just like that.
How very very tragic. So pleased she was finally sent home.
Wow. I reallyappreciate and learn from your videos. They are informative and well made, but it´s hard to say I like what happens to so many of these people. So, I press like for your work and the information. I only wish I could replace the thumbs up with a "thank you".
I appreciate that! Thanks!
Very sad. This reminds me of the Elephant Man. Also years ago before there were laws to protect people , there were cases of conjoined twins being put on show at circuses.
Those bodies of mother and son should be buried with respect . I'm glad the Catholic Church could at least do the right thing for the mother.
I wish there was a full movie or series on her life story. It sounds very interesting. It reminds me of The Elephant Man.
I am glad she was finely laid to rest in peace and privacy.
What an incredibly interesting and well done video! Excellent Job! I got teary for this woman and her child. What cruelty. Then her child perished while they both were stored. I am truly surprised that her fate was still being decided into this century. That the second wife of the grifter husband sold her! They already had a fortune. Such a dark side of human greed. May she and her child be in a loving place, free of earthly cruelty.
Excellent research job and delivery! Again- Excellent! Thank you! 💕😄
I love stories about native people's. Their culture interest me greatly. They seem to live in harmony with nature and did so for Generations. Modern day Society seems to have forgotten how to do that. I like your videos, keep them coming.
To me, she was beautiful in every unique way possible. She deserved better.
Love your channel!!!!
Thank you so much!!
Great job. Very interesting and informative ❤
Excellent job. Loved the ending that she has been buried. On my 3rd video from you today.
She sounded amazing and brilliant. I'm so sad that she was treated like an animal. She was a beautiful human, and I hope she rests in peace.
How sad 😔 but an excellent doucementry. Thank you for posting.
This story was on an HBO documentary from many years ago called They Called Them Freaks. It was narrated by the late actor Richard Kiley.
Interesting!
+Renee Dennis I remember that show. It came on HBO in 1980 I believe. It was very sad, indeed.😢
@@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934 Yes, it was.
That's so sad. I can't imagine how she was treated and what they did to her. Even in death she didn't have peace.
Very well done and well narrated.
I did enjoy this and it does have a happy ending.
Thanks!
All I could remember was the movie "The greatest Showman".
Wow! What we humans do to one another when faced with someone that isn't usual.
Smh
How sadly ironic that she was probably way more educated than most of her audiences. I can imagine it contributed to her sadness. Tragic.
I haven't been able to watch any youtube for a few days and man I missed this content 😎 another great video #Informative
No worries, glad you enjoyed!
