We uncover how a woman with rare conditions became a global spectacle and examine the exploitation that followed her from life into death. This episode explores the truth behind the legend of the Bear Lady and separates real history from the sensational myth. Experience a deep dive into medical mystery, unethical exhibition, and the haunting legacy she left behind. Julia’s fate forces us to ask how far curiosity can push humanity toward cruelty. Watch the video version here: https://youtube.com/live/Yq9nPU0bzu8Don't forget, you can watch us live on Tuesday nights at 8PM CST - U.S. on YouTube and Facebook!
