There are many unusual people on our planet who either are such from birth, or acquire strange abilities after any circumstances. Most of these people do not attract attention, and even the most experienced servants of science cannot explain their phenomenon. However, there are those who, due to their unusualness, become famous all over the world. Let's figure out what these are the most unusual people in the world, whose photos will allow us to understand what is strange about them.

This young man is known under the pseudonym "rubber boy". And all because his body has such a unique flexibility that it’s even scary to imagine how he can wrap himself. He easily manages to turn his head one hundred and eighty degrees, and this does not cause Jasprit any inconvenience. But this is just one of the many tricks that a flexible boy can please the public.


This resident of Iran was even honored to "visit" the pages of the Book of Records. This man did not bathe for sixty years, and all these years he did not even dare to approach the water even a meter. The Iranian explains his act by the fact that at a young age, after life's failures, he wanted to stop performing hygiene procedures. And now he is absolutely sure that if he even wash his hands, he will fall ill with a terrible disease. Now the unwashed Iranian lives in a dugout, but when it gets cold, he goes to live in a brick building that the locals built for him.


This man is unusual in that he has six fingers on each hand. That is, in the end, he does not have ten fingers on his hands, like an ordinary person, but twelve. And he has the same number of fingers on his feet. Such a number of fingers is the pride of a man living in Baracoa - with their help he easily climbs palm trees to collect coconuts, and also poses in front of camera lenses. Here they are - the most unusual people in the world! Due to their uniqueness, they try to earn extra money and live well at the same time.


A resident of India, who can move freely on vertical surfaces, was nicknamed "Spider-Man". Josie noticed such a talent in himself as a child and decided to develop it further. And he succeeded - today many come to see the climber, who climbs the mountains without fear without insurance.


This Californian, who is 57 years old, is distinguished by his complexion - it is blue. True, the man’s complexion was not always like this - the skin acquired such a shade due to the long-term use of colloidal silver, which was necessary for the treatment of dermatitis that arose 14 years ago.


Once upon a time, this Indian old man with his hand raised up was a normal person. He was the head of a family with three children. But one day (in 1970), the understanding came to his mind that he does not belong to the family at all, but belongs to the god Shiva, therefore he should serve only him. Then he decided to wander along the Indian roads. A few years later, he made a vow to himself that he would raise his right hand and not lower it for forty years (many believe that as a sign of humility and renunciation of sins). For about forty years now, a man has been walking with a raised limb, which over the years has turned into a bony and withered symbol of the faithful Indians.


A fourteen-year-old teenager from the United States has been involved in powerlifting for two years - in this sport he has achieved such results that even experienced athletes cannot. The boy manages to lift more weight than his own. He recently broke the record in both the weight and age categories. Every day Jake goes to the gym - he pulls barbells and kettlebells, and also pulls himself up. Therefore, he easily manages to surprise fans of this sport with his achievements.


This woman has a super memory and remembers everything that happened in her life, starting from the age of twelve. It can even tell which transmission was on at a particular point in time. One has only to ask about a specific date, and Jill will easily answer what happened on that day.


It is unlikely that this Chinese woman has bumps on her face, so reminiscent of devil's horns, that give pleasure. Of course, one could write off one horn as a joke of nature, but the second growth that appears symmetrically on the forehead is incredibly shocking to the people around.

This Vietnamese has grown hair that is almost seven meters long. The man stopped cutting his hair at the age of twenty-five, when he noticed that every time after cutting his hair he starts to get very sick. Therefore, he stopped cutting his hair, and braids his hair into a braid, after a long time it looks more like a rope. How original the most unusual people in the world are, the video can show in the best possible way - you just have to look at each of the representatives of those, and there will be no limit to surprise.

Some people are so “not like everyone else” that their abilities baffle even the luminaries of medicine and science. In this collection, we have collected several examples of owners of superhuman abilities or simply amazing and very original personalities.

Jasprit Singh Kalra

Jasprit Singh Kalra is known in his homeland as the "Rubber Boy": his body is so flexible that he can turn his head almost 180 degrees. However, this is just one of the many wonderful tricks this gutta-percha boy can do with his body.

Francisco Domingo Joaquim

A young man named Francisco Domingo Joaquima from the city of Sambizanga does truly shocking things with his facial muscles. The Guinness Book of Records even named his mouth the largest in the world. In the place where ordinary people put food, the record holder can easily put a Coca-Cola can. Francisco's mouth measures exactly 16.99 cm.

Zhang Ruifang

A resident of China, Zhang Ruifang, has been observing an increasing growth of unknown origin on her own forehead for several years. And everything would be fine, only these harmless bumps very much resemble devil's horns. And if one horn can still be attributed to a coincidence and a cruel joke of mother nature, then a new symmetrical growth on the other side of the forehead, which began to grow later, simply shocks those around.

Gino Martino


Gino Martino is an American professional wrestler and entertainer who shocks audiences with his incredible ability to head-smash various hard objects, including iron bars, baseball bats, and concrete blocks. His skull even withstood bowling balls falling from a height of five meters. According to doctors, this unusual physical ability of Gino is due to the fact that he naturally has a super-strong skull. For this he was called the anvil man.

Tim Cridland


Tim Cridland, performing under the stage name "Zamora - King of Torture", for decades has demonstrated to the whole world his unique ability - exceptional tolerance for pain. He pierced himself with swords, swallowed fire and swords, lay down on nails - and this is just a small part of those dangerous tricks that he did throughout his career. Tim is a Guinness World Record holder.

Wim Hof


Dutchman Wim Hof ​​has an amazing ability to withstand extremely low temperatures. He ran marathons barefoot in the snow, plunged into cold water and set a world record for staying in an ice bath - 1 hour 52 minutes. In addition, Wim Hof ​​climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts, for which he received the nickname "The Iceman". The man claims that he has reached a state in which he absolutely does not feel cold, solely due to meditation. Researchers have confirmed that Wim is indeed able to consciously control his autonomic nervous system and immune system responses.

Chan Wang Hei

The Vietnamese resident Chan Van Hei had hair 6.8 meters long. But, unfortunately, he never declared this to the Guinness Book of Records. Hay lived in the province of Kien Giang (South Vietnam), worked with medicinal herbs. He started growing his hair at the age of 25 for a very simple but amazing reason - every time after a haircut he got very sick. He did not turn to doctors, but simply stopped cutting his hair and began to weave a braid, which over the years began to look like a thick rope.

Sadhu Amar Bharati


Sadhu's hand is a bony, dried-up something, because he has not used it for more than 40 years. He raised it above his head as a sign of admiration for the god Shiva. The sadhu lived an ordinary life until 1970. He worked, he had a wife and family, three children. Average income, Sadhu was an ordinary Indian. But one fine morning the Sadhu realized that he no longer belonged to his family or to himself - he belonged to God. And he went along the roads of India, and after several years of wandering, he made a vow and raised his right hand up so as not to lower it for the next forty years. It was 1973. They say he raised it as a sign of humility and renunciation of his sins, but there are those who claim that he raised his hand in protest against the wars on earth. So, with his right hand raised up, Sadhu Amar Bharati has been living for many years. During these decades, his hand, which he did not use at all, dried up and took the form of a lifeless stick, consisting of bones and parched skin.

Mehmet Ozyurek


The nose of Mehmet Ozyurek from Turkey was solemnly measured on the set of the Italian program "Lo Show dei Record" and turned out to be 8.8 cm (from forehead to tip), which was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records in 2010. Doctors say that Mehmet owes his long nose to rhinophyma, a rare skin disease that is accompanied by the growth of nasal skin elements. It is possible that someday he will break his own record, as the nose continues to grow little by little.

Masutatsu Oyama

The legendary master of karate, the founder of the Kyokushinkai style, the owner of the tenth dan Masutatsu Oyama was one of the most famous representatives of martial arts. Oyama struck according to the principle of Japanese fighters "one hit - one death." Even if the opponent managed to block the blow, then this block was not enough, the master's blow swept away everything in its path. Oyama broke 17 layers of tiles and 3-4 bricks at a time with one blow with the edge of his palm. And he fought bulls fifty times, killed three bulls to death with his bare hands and broke the horns of 49 bulls, also with a blow with the edge of his palm. He wanted to fight more tigers and lions, but he was not allowed to treat animals so cruelly. Later, Oyama himself admitted that one should not kill animals to demonstrate one's strength.

Michelle Lotito


The Frenchman Michel Lotito was not without reason called "Monsieur Mangetout" in his homeland, which in Russian sounds like "Monsieur will eat everything." Between 1959 and 1997, he literally swallowed about nine tons of metal objects, including an airplane, seven televisions, 18 bicycles, 15 shopping carts, a coffin and part of the Eiffel Tower. What is the reason for the manifestation of such a shocking ability in Lotito? This rare phenomenon in science and medicine is known as "picacism" - an eating disorder that is expressed in cravings for inedible substances. It, along with an unusually thick gastric mucosa, allowed Lotito to consume a huge amount of metal, which, by the way, he cut into small pieces, poured vegetable oil on and swallowed with water. Michel Lotito died, oddly enough, of natural causes.

Jill Price


Jill Price remembers every event in her life in chronological order since she was 12 years old. She remembers literally every little thing, including the program on TV at that moment or the events that took place in the world. Just name the date and it will tell you what day of the week it was and list everything that happened that day. Many people envy her gift, but super memory is not a gift for everyone. Just imagine that you are reliving the events of your life over and over again as if they had just happened. In addition, in the life of every person there are things that are better not to remember. Experts have not yet found a cure for Jill's memory.

Alex Lenkey


Englishman Alex Lenkey, who has been practicing self-hypnosis since the age of 16, abandoned traditional pain relief, hypnotized himself during a surgical operation for osteoarthritis. During the operation, which lasted 83 minutes, the hypnotist's wrist was opened, a piece of bone the size of a walnut was removed, and the patient's tendon was manipulated. According to him, at that time he heard everything that the surgeon said, as well as the sound that accompanied the sawing of the bones, but did not feel any pain. Alex Lenkay had previously had a hernia removed under hypnosis, and once hypnotized his son, also Alex, to relieve pain in a broken arm.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu


Japanese Thomas Alva Edison, a mad scientist, one of the five greatest inventors in history - this is how this Japanese is called in society, who publicly claims that he not only invented the famous floppy disk 20 years earlier than the American company IBM, but also became a record holder by the number of inventions, bringing their number to 3.3 thousand. This eccentric Japanese takes a philosophical approach to the very process of invention: he compares the creation of each new creation with a five-story pagoda. The first of these is spiritual strength, because it is she who helps a person go the hard way of an inventor. The second step is a healthy body. Then - study. At the same time, according to Dr. NakaMats, a real inventor must be savvy equally in both technical and humanities. After that come the ability to experiment and, of course, talent.

Jonathan Lee Riches


Jonathan Lee Riches is an inmate in the Kentucky Federal Penitentiary on charges of wire fraud, and also holds the record for the number of claims filed in US district courts by one person on various grounds. In early 2006, Jonathan filed his first lawsuit, and over the next seven years, he filed more than two and a half thousand lawsuits. For such an active citizenship, the guy got into the Guinness Book of Records as one of the most controversial personalities in history, and Jonathan, being true to himself, sued the Book in response. And in 2012, he filed new lawsuits, this time accusing rapper Kanye West and actress Kim Kardashian of terrorism.

Amu Haji


The anti-achievement in the Guinness Book of Records was set by Amu Haji, a resident of Iran, who had not washed for 60 years. During this time, not only did he never go to the shower or bath, but he did not approach the water at all. Haji lives in a dugout hole in the south of Iran in the province of Fars near the village of Dejah. In winter, when it gets very cold in his dwelling, he moves to a brick shack, which was built for the old man by local residents.
The Iranian stopped bathing at a young age. Hajj says he refused to perform hygiene procedures due to emotional setbacks and psychological trauma. Now the man is afraid of water. He is sure that he will fall ill immediately after washing his hands or washing himself.

Jake Schellenschlager

At his high school in Baltimore, 14-year-old Jake Schellenschlager hardly stands out from the crowd of other eighth graders. But in the gym, the teenager transforms into a real athlete. The boy has been professionally engaged in powerlifting for more than 2 years. Jake is currently lifting a weight that is more than twice his body weight. Many fans of powerlifting are simply shocked by the abilities of a teenager. To achieve success in this difficult sport, the boy spends several hours every day in the gym: he lifts the barbell, kettlebells, and does pull-ups. The boy broke his personal and world records by lifting a barbell weighing 300 pounds (136 kilograms). This weight exceeds Jake's body weight by more than 2 times. Such an indicator is incredible for his weight category, as well as age.
