STOLEN FROM HER GRAVE, Pickled in a Barrel. The Emma Adams Story.

Oh! Boy! The dissection classes / rooms must have smelled REALLY bad!

[@dawntaylor239]

May Emma and her baby rest in peace

[@HarleyCat54]

That poor woman. Sounds like she had placenta previa and then to have her body along with her child's body desecrated. Rest in peace, dear Emma. Thanks again Ron. I always look forward to your videos.

[@bucklebunny6661]

Thank You Ron for sharing the story, goodness I know the placenta covering the birth canal is very dangerous, I had that with my 3rd child, luckily we have ultrasounds now, I was lucky & mine moved enough that I could deliver her normally. It was so scary tho. Stay Blessed. And my prayers for this poor young lady & baby 🙏🏻.

[@taylortwinshootenannyfarm4187]

I had placenta previa, a C-section saved my life!

[@taylortwinshootenannyfarm4187]

and my baby lived, I had her in my 8th month, tiny 5lb. She is grown now with 3 children of her own.

[@valerieengelleiter698]

My mother and I almost died because of placenta previa. We both survived thanks to an emergency C-section. She had this horrible scar across her abdomen, so they must have been really quick about it. I was born at 8 months.

[@Gina19876]

​@@taylortwinshootenannyfarm4187 same here. My baby was born dying but was resuscitated though he had wet lung. Placenta Previa is awful. My placenta tore (placental abrupto) so there was enormous bleeding and a threat to my unborn baby.

A tragic story, in two parts: Emma and her baby die. Then, disturbed in their fresh grave and desecrated! Hard to fathom. Medical research is one thing, but that grave robbing, i cant even imagine. And where are poor Emma and her baby buried. Wherever they are, i pray they are resting in peace. Thank you Ron, the history you share with us is so fascinating!!💜

Just a suggestion, if you're really determined to donate your body to medical science, why not try to contact the institute for plastinisation in Heidelberg? Which is run by Dr Gunter Van Hagens who is the creator of the bodyworks exhibitions.

[@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22]

Just horrible that something like this can happen no matter what era it was. Makes me wonder how many of those graves are really empty. You go to visit an old grave and you can't even be sure the remains are in there. It's just sad for these poor families. And being buried alive seems like it can almost still happen today since I recently found those two different articles about one person being sent to a NY funeral home and the other to an Iowa funeral home, both in body bags and presumably dead but discovered to be alive by the funeral home staffs. Just scary what could have happened to them.

[@hollyb.3615]

Yes, I've heard of this also, people who actually arrived in a body bag and were obviously presumed to be dead. In some instances, they in the midst of dying, they may have revived briefly only to die later that day or the next. Can't imagine waking up and slowly realizing you are in an enclosed and refrigerated metal box.

[@MichelleJohnson-tg5lx]

Makes me wanna to be secluded and dead and half rotted before I am found.

[@riccoitalian]

Wow, you make me wonder how many empty graves are at those beautiful 'resorts'! "The Body Snatchers!" What a movie that could be.

[@shirleyslifer2919]

Since so many bodies were stolen, what happened to the bodies after the medical doctors and students were done with them?

[@akaroth7542]

Dogs, pigs, incinerated, dumped in water etc

[@shaunstrasser1]

Cremate, dumped in water, or fed to pigs

[@joanmatchett8100]

Hospitals have incinerators, l should imagine a lot went into them .

[@cathrinewhite7629]

Ron mentioned that it's quite challenging to find these old stories, and then get the research on them. I wonder if this will change, as A.I. gets adapted & replaces the microfiche that we still use today? I bet we will be deluged with hundreds- maybe thousands of incredible cases & stories, long forgotten!🤔

[@napagirl48]

Ron, another great story!! I knew a lawyer that stole his brother from one grave and put him in another to be buried with other family members! The music and pics were wonderful! thank you Ron! May Emma and all rest in peace...💔🙏

Hi Ron. Poor Emma. It must have been terrible for her. RIP dear Emma and her baby.

[@davidrosenberg1754]

Ethics in medical schools unfortunately didn't improve until later in the 20th century. I had gross anatomy at Medical College of GA. By then, they were only getting cadavers that were legally willed for scientific study. We also had a memorial service at the end, and remains given to family. I always felt bad about an exhibit from the 30s(as a remember) , that was a skeleton of a woman who had an extreme case of Paget's disease. Paget's is a disease that weakens and reshapes bone, and her case had advanced that her facial bones were unrecognizable. She was a poor sharecropper woman, who was admitted because she was pregnant. The hospital wanted her body because she was such a unique case. I was surprised that her skeleton was still in our lab in 2000 (in a case, forgotten, and in the corner). I did catch a newspaper article from 10 years later that the family was trying to sue the university. I was really surprised that the school hadn't just given her remains back.

[@hermiendrridder875]

And that's why cemeteries are so haunted, they were disturbed or stolen or burried alive😱 great story, thanks

Often went to iconic Graceland for walks, so much history there and remarkable statues. Serene spots everywhere. This tale of the young lady and infant is heartbreaking as is the practice of grave robbing, a true nightmare. I'm sure the medical profession went to great lengths to hide these stories so we don't see the scum that exists in their macabre history. Rest in peace for her and all families who suffered these horrors. It was long afterward, but mama lived in the 2300 block of State Street for 26 years. Of course we never heard the story of a pickled body in a barrel. Jeesh.

I find it so interesting, that they just did not have Congress or even a State Legislature pass a law or some sort of bill, that allowed people to donate their body to science. So that this kind of tragedy didn't have to happen. I think mainly it's because of the fears and just thinking of the times about death and the body. It's so unreal.

I’m sure there are many empty graves where a body was taken and it was not discovered. It’s even more chilling to realize that, in the past, people couldn’t distinguish between a deep coma and death.
