The first story that I’ve found is a man name Jose Mestre from Lisbon.  This man has a huge 12 ib tumor on his face. He is often called the man with no face. Many children have facial tumors taken off as a child, but Mestre hasn’t had his removed due to his religious beliefs that he cannot undergo a blood transfusion.  When he was young, the tumor was only a mark.  It began to grow at the age of 11.  The tumor does bleed, often in his sleep.  He is planning on undergoing small surgeries that don’t require blood transfusions.  Hopefully this will help.  Mestre says that young children cry when they see him.  This must be a terrible way to live.

Dede is an Indonesian fisherman with warts all over his body.  He has gotten the name tree man because the warts that are growing all over his body, looks like roots on a tree.   He has gotten much attention from all over the world.  He has gone through many life threatening operations to remove the warts from his body. The sad thing about this after they remove some of these warts, they grow back.  They have even made a TV show about Dede. 

The next people  that I found with amazing deformities have joined a group with the tree man called the freak show family.  They travel around in a circus.  They have formed very strong bonds with each other.  There friendship is unbreakable.  This is a friendship that many of us will never see in our lifetime.

The first one is Mamat, the snake man. He has a scaly skin, just like a snakes.  His eyes are slanted, and his teeth are even pointed just as a snakes are. 

The second man’s name is Mr. Sahi, the bubble man.  He has what looks like blisters all over his face. 

Next we have Mr. Sakim, the elephant man.  He has blisters on his face, and a huge deformaty on his nose.  He is called elephant man because he reminds people of an elephants trunk. 

Ms. Esih melted my heart when I saw that half of her face looked as though it had been melted right off of her face. 

I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
