The unique abilities of the human body. People with unusual abilities, appearance and deviations

Do you think many people think about the limits of our capabilities? Probably only those who urgently need to achieve high results. For example, athletes. Ordinary people don't think much about such things. Yes, and why? And so there are enough problems. Nevertheless, it is extremely interesting. After all, there are so many unusual, incredible things on the planet that are worth knowing. It is good that the information field has now become immensely large. It has a place for all kinds of phenomena and facts. The most unusual people of the world also took their place there, showing us evidence of the boundless possibilities of nature. At the same time, such extraordinary characteristics belong to different areas: appearance, abilities, anatomical features, and so on. Let's look at examples.

Unusual can be brought up?

We just think that we are all special. In fact, the capabilities of the human body are very limited (unless he is unconscious, of course). But the most unusual people in the world are completely different. Their organisms are capable of such "feats" that an ordinary person does not even dare to think about. For example, by name he became famous for the fact that he does not feel the cold at all. You say that anyone can undress and stand in the cold? And three days in a row, and even under medical supervision? You can't fake that! But this gentleman did. At the same time, experts came to the conclusion that the body did not respond to such stress. As he worked, he continued, as if Wim was basking in bed, and not in a barrel on ice.

Such unusual people (photo - in the article), like Hof, are born quite rarely. Or maybe they do not want to become the object of research. However, the “hero” himself does not consider himself special at all. In an interview, he openly said that he had learned not to react to frost using a special technique. He spoke with gratitude about the teachings of Tummo, which gave him the ability to control the body.

But Daniel, who lives in the UK, got an unusual gift from birth. This person is famous for "seeing" the color of the numbers! Since he has autism, it was quite difficult to find out. As you know, such people are not very inclined to communicate. Nevertheless, Daniel tries to lead an active life. He even teaches mathematics remotely. So, his gift was discovered by accident. It turns out that he can calculate in his mind just like a modern computer. Imagine, it is not difficult for him to divide, for example, fifteen by ninety-seven. Daniel performs the operation instantly and names the result with incredible accuracy. It can dictate over a hundred decimal places. If you dig further, it turns out that the most unusual people in the world are not even capable of this!

About memory

In a certain (secret) corner of the planet lives a young woman who has demonstrated the miracles described by many esotericists. This lady remembers the smallest details of her every day. By the way, the girl (twenty-five years old) turned out to be so open and unsophisticated that she spoke about her unusual ability, even, they say, it was reported in the press. There were many who wanted to check her revelations. All the curious were satisfied. The lady was really not confused about the dates and details. Only these distrustful personalities turned out to be so many that they had to turn to the police for protection. Now its data is forbidden to distribute. It is understandable that people with unusual abilities want to live a normal life. Sometimes they have to do more than just from everyone's attention.

Body Features

The very world can face absolutely incredible problems. They are simply distinguished from others by something that is unique, almost inimitable. Only in our case, this quality brings only problems to a person. Here's an example for you. There is a lady named Ashley Morris. She surprised the doctors first, and then

and the whole planet is allergic to water! Imagine! Neither wash nor bathe the girl can not. Such a routine procedure can cause her death. When in contact with water, the girl becomes covered with spots. If you do not take the appropriate drugs, then Quincke's edema may begin, and then it is better not to imagine. This disease is called Aquagenic Urticaria. Ashley's image is in many medical reference books. Only unusual people dream of such fame? A photo that experts study, you see, is not the best advertisement.

"Funny" difference

Very unusual people sometimes face incredible difficulties in life. And if the disease is understandable, even the rarest, then what can you say about a girl who cannot be laughed at? Kay Underwood must be sure to remain serious. The fact is that laughter leads to relaxation of her muscles. At the same time, she is no longer able to resist. As soon as she starts laughing, Kei falls like a wreck. But this is not its only feature. Another girl can involuntarily fall asleep at any moment, against her own will. If you think about it, there is nothing funny in these differences from the majority. Some inconvenience, and nothing more.

A young musician named Chris Sands faced a similarly impactful problem. It is distinguished by a disease of the gastric valve. The disease brought the poor fellow to constant hiccups. This process

impossible to stop. He hiccups even in his sleep. Overcoming involuntary muscle contractions, Chris is trying to build a musical career, which, of course, is not so easy to do. In any case, he himself claims that hiccups do not contribute to this.

Technology as an enemy

It is known that many people are adherents of simple life. Only they strive to be closer to nature and away from civilization due to their beliefs. But one lady, whose name is Debbie, does not tolerate devices due to sensitivity to the electromagnetic fields they produce. She can’t even use a microwave oven without harm to her health. TV, computer and telephone are taboo for her. Otherwise, their radiation leads to a rash on the skin and swelling of the eyelids. In spite of your will, you will leave for the rural wilderness, where there are no towers and wires, of course, if you want to live.

The injustice of fate

When you delve into the material about extraordinary personalities, you come across absolutely incredible stories. Unusual people, as it turns out, can cause envy in almost half of the planet. There is a man in England named Perry. He grew up as a perfectly ordinary child. When he was twelve years old, the unthinkable happened. In one night, all the fat from his body disappeared. The doctors were unable to determine the cause. Analyzes, except for the content of insulin, were normal. Only now "an object of envy forever

losing weight beauties” sweeps products indiscriminately. He can eat absolutely everything, regardless of the clock, not counting calories. And the figure remains slim. Fat simply does not have time to accumulate, as nutrients are instantly processed and burned. They say that the "stars" have repeatedly asked science to figure out how to get infected with such a pleasant disease in all respects (lipodystrophy). Yes, it doesn't work.

Unusualness that you can't hide

There are many people in the world who have physical features. That's who has to put up with "popularity" that does not depend on personal will. Photos of people with an unusual appearance now and then appear in the media. Among them are, for example, Nick Vuychich. This man was born almost without limbs. It has only one small leg. There is something to despair about. However, this cheerful gentleman is pleased with everything. He successfully copes with everyday affairs, leads an active life, shares his incredible positive energy with others. Nick is known to the world as a preacher who, by his example, proves the limitlessness of human abilities. He even created a family. He recently had a son.

Photos of people with an unusual appearance can repel or attract, like or disgust. However, it must be said that they always arouse interest. For example, Rudy Santos has been living in the Philippines for sixty-nine years. He has two pairs of arms and legs. Such a change in the body occurs when one of the twins, while still in the mother's womb, "absorbs" the second. He also has an underdeveloped head with one ear. It turns out that Rudy lives for two. Maybe that's why he refused the operation to remove unnecessary parts of the body.

Unhappy unusual people

And in Vietnam, there is another "strange" child. His skin is constantly flaking, causing it to overheat. The baby constantly needs water to “cool off”. This is extremely inconvenient. But doctors shrug. It is believed that his illness was caused by chemical weapons that were used in this country. The boy, whose name is Ming An, was nicknamed "fish" for forced love for the soul.

turtle boy

Often people with an unusual appearance suffer from their features. So, Didier, a little Colombian, suffered from a melanocytic virus for six years. This led to the appearance on his back of a birthmark of such incredible size that it resembled a tortoise shell. I must say that the baby lived in the countryside, which created additional inconvenience for his family. The locals did not allow their offspring to play with an unusual child, suspecting a “devilish beginning” in him. Only the compassion of a British doctor saved the boy from eternal damnation and the fate of an outcast. Neil Bulstrode promptly removed the “shell”, after which Didier became the most ordinary child, no longer distinguished by his peers.

tree man

But in Indonesia, you will be assured that the most unusual people in history live in their country. In any case, the name will definitely be called. After all, this is an example of a person who, according to the beliefs of local residents, was able to coexist with a plant. Of course, any doctor will challenge this statement. However, Joseph is not called anything other than a tree-man. And it's all about his rare illness. He suffers from a fungus (epidermodysplasia verruciformis). On his body all the time growing formations that resemble the bark of a tree. Warts covered most of the surface of his skin. He had surgery to remove them. But Joseph cannot be completely cured. The fungus is not amenable to drug exposure. It is difficult for a poor person to use his hands and walk. You have to remove the "growths" again.

Unrecognized twin

Unusual people of the planet do not immediately "give out" their features. Such a case happened in Kazakhstan. Alamyan Nematilaev was examined by a school nurse who found his large belly strange. The child was sent to the hospital. What was the surprise of the doctors when in the boy's stomach was found ... his twin! The "fruit" weighed two kilograms and had a length of twenty centimeters. Imagine, for seven years the boy carried his brother in himself and did not suspect it! They performed an operation, as a result of which Alamyan was completely “cured”.

The fact that he turned out to be "pregnant", he, of course, was not told. But his brother was carefully examined. He looked like a six month old fetus. Doctors say it grew and developed in the boy's belly. Amazing case! It is believed that such an anomaly could result from radioactive radiation.

About elephant people

Such a “defect” in appearance has been sufficiently studied. From time to time, people appear on earth, some of whose organs grow to disproportionately large sizes. For example, Mandy Sellars, who lived in Lankshire (UK), had legs of incredible size. They weighed ninety-five kilograms. The poor fellow had to sew shoes to order. They also made a car for her that can be driven manually (without using her legs). But Hussein Bisad, a resident of the same country, distinguished himself with huge palms. From the fingertips to the wrist, this organ reached 26.9 cm.

Men are most interested in the “record” of a Chinese woman named A girl living in the village of Changa turned out to have the largest breasts. Each mammary gland weighs ten kilograms, which, according to the charmer, is extremely inconvenient. Not only do you have to sew underwear to order, but you can only sleep on your back. As the beauty herself says, one thing reassures - no silicone.

There are many interesting things in the world. There are still women who can give birth in their eighties, like the Indian woman Omkari Panwar, and others. It is important to treat them (and information about their features) not as a circus performance, but as proof that a person can do anything. He can solve any problem, develop superpowers, an unusually positive attitude towards life, if he shows his will. Many of the examples cited demonstrate how strong a person can become, whose physical abilities, as they say, are limited. It is probably true that there is nothing more valuable than the opportunity to enjoy your stay on our planet (albeit temporary).

Despite the uniqueness of each person, in terms of anatomy and physiology, we are all similar. That is why people with unusual abilities or external characteristics always cause a rush of interest. There are few such individuals, and in most cases these phenomena are carefully hidden from the public for their own good. This material contains real facts about the most unusual people that have received wide publicity.

In May 1934, a sensational event took place, which was called the "luminous woman from Pirano." Messages about this moved from the pages of medical publications to newspapers around the world. Signora Anna Monaro suffered from asthma, and for several weeks during her sleep, a blue light emanated from her chest. Many doctors have observed this phenomenon, which lasted intermittently for several seconds each time.

One psychiatrist suggested that "the phenomenon is caused by electrical and magnetic organisms which have developed sufficiently strongly in this woman's body to give off a radiance" (in other words, another way of saying "I don't know").

Another doctor, talking about firefly people with unusual abilities, proposed the theory of electromagnetic radiation, associating it with certain chemical components found in the patient's skin, which was close to the then fashionable theory of bioluminescence. Dr. Protti, who made a lengthy statement regarding his observations of Signora Monaro, suggested that her poor health, together with starvation and piety, increased the amount of sulfides in the blood. Human blood emits rays in the ultraviolet range, and sulfides can be made to luminesce with ultraviolet radiation - this explains the radiance emanating from Signora Monaro's chest.

The proposed theory about people with such unusual abilities did not explain the strange periodicity or localization of bluish flashes, and soon the confused researchers finally fell silent. Harvey talked about luminous bacteria that feed on human sweat, but according to Protti, Anna Monaro began to sweat profusely only after her chest emitted a radiance, and just at that moment her heart began to beat twice as fast as usual. Many textbooks and scientific papers on toxicology describe wounds that emit radiance. This is usually explained by the presence of luminescent bacteria or secretions in wounds, which contain the biochemical substances luciferin and luciferase, as well as ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which, as a rule, do not combine, and if they are combined, they begin to emit light. A similar process occurs with the glow of fireflies and fire flies. However, if these theories could be applied to the case of Signora Monaro, then her whole body would have to glow.

In Death: Its Causes and Related Phenomena, Hareward Carrington tells of a child who died of acute indigestion. When the neighbors were preparing a shroud for him, they noticed that the boy's body emits a bluish radiance and heat spreads from him. It felt like it was on fire. Attempts to extinguish this radiance did not lead to anything, but after a while it stopped by itself. When they moved the body, they found that the sheet under it was burned.

In the medical literature, cases of the unusual ability of a person to glow are usually associated with pathology. For example, in the monumental monograph "Anomalies and Curiosities in Medicine" (1937), they talk about a woman who suffered from breast cancer: the light emanating from the damaged area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe breast was sufficient to see the dial of a watch several feet away.

The only case in the world when unusual people "emit light" being practically healthy (not counting, of course, saints) is described in the journal "The English Mechanic" dated September 24, 1869. One American, going to bed, discovered a glow in the upper part of the fourth finger of her right legs. When she rubbed her leg, the glow increased and some unknown force pushed her fingers apart. The stench came from the foot. Light emission and smell did not stop even when the leg was immersed in a basin of water. Not even soap could extinguish or reduce the glow. This phenomenon lasted three quarters of an hour, and the husband of this woman watched him.

Perhaps these are the most unusual people on the planet, since such phenomena are quite rare, while they have absolutely no explanation.

"Electric" people with unusual abilities

One of the very first cases of scientists studying very unusual people dates back to 1846. We are talking about the so-called "electric" people. On January 15, Angelique Cotin from La Perriere (France), who turned 14 that day, experienced a strange condition that then lasted 10 weeks. As soon as she got close to the objects, they immediately began to bounce off her. The lightest touch of her hand or her dress was enough to make even the heaviest furniture start spinning and jumping around the room. It was absolutely impossible to hold something if Angelica was holding it too: the object immediately began to twitch and slip out of her hands.

The French Academy of Sciences appointed a special research group to study this one of the most unusual abilities of people, one of whose members was the famous physicist of the time, Francois Arago. In the February issue of the Journal de Deba for 1846, his report on the investigation was published. According to the scientist, the power possessed by the girl is akin to electromagnetism (in her presence, for example, the compass needle began the real “St. Witt’s dance”); it usually increased in the evenings and seemed to be concentrated on the left side of Angelica's body, more precisely, in her left wrist and elbow. The poor thing would sometimes convulse when this power was particularly active; while her heart rate was 120 beats per minute. She herself was so frightened of what was happening that she often ran away from home headlong.

Probably the most famous example of such the most unusual people in the world was the case of Lulu Hirst, who even demonstrated her extraordinary abilities in front of the public. In 1883-1885. she acted like a "wonder from Georgia" until she retired from the stage by marrying her entrepreneur.

She, as expected, in the classic version with "evil spirits", began to feel her abilities in herself after 14 years. Porcelain cups were beating in her presence, and at night in the bedroom where she was, incomprehensible knocks on the door and heavy blows began to be heard, which frightened her younger sister to death, with whom they slept together. The day after the strange noises began, Lulu handed over a chair to one of her relatives, which at the same time began to spin in her hands, clearly not wanting to move to a new owner. The four men could not pull it over, eventually the chair broke into pieces and all four fell to the floor.

Relatives persuaded the girl to turn her illness into art. The number with which she performed was that Lulu had to demonstrate her superiority over several adult men. Let's say a girl held one end of a billiard cue, and two strong men tried with all their might to no avail to snatch the cue from her hands, bend it to the ground, etc. She lifted three men sitting on each other's knees in a chair, with a simple touch of her palms on his back, lightly touched a heavy object - and he moved away, although before that five strong men could not move him. Edwards described such unusual human abilities in his book Strange People (1961). He wrote about Lulu that, according to the testimony of many contemporaries, she let in any “checkers” who could make sure that she did her numbers without any tension, without resorting to tricks and tricks.

These photos show the unusual people of the planet with non-standard appearance and abilities:

The most unusual people on the planet, immune to fire (with photo and video)

It is unlikely that anyone in their right mind would risk walking barefoot through a pit filled with burning coals or red-hot stones. It can be assumed that people demonstrating this are in some special state. No one has yet explained how, while walking through the fire, they manage to perform this incredible trick without any damage to themselves.

One of the first experiments with walking on fire was organized in September 1935 in Carshalton, Surrey, at the initiative of the University of London. The experiment involved a young Muslim man from India, Kuda Bax, who walked through a 20-foot-wide coal pit four times without being burned.

In all parts of the world, immunity to fire is achieved by a wide variety of methods. Apparently, among the Indians (whether in India, Sri Lanka or Fiji) the most important element of the ritual is a state of trance or religious ecstasy. However, Kuda Bax and many others showed their immunity to fire while in a completely normal state. However, some require complex preparation, which includes singing, dancing, and sexual abstinence, while others may walk on coals with no preparation at all or after a simple symbolic ritual.

As you can see in the photo, such unusual people do not receive any damage by walking on hot coals:

E. D. Dinguall's book, Amazing Cases of People (1947), details a certain Marie Saune who lived in Paris in the 1950s. 18th century This woman, who suffered from the attacks of St. Medara, was nicknamed "fireproof". Wrapped in a sheet, she could lie over the fire for a long time, leaning her head and legs on the chairs. She could put her feet in stockings and shoes into a brazier with coals and keep them there until the stockings burned to the ground. In this regard, the question arises, why did the stockings and shoes burn down, but not the sheet? By the way, this is not the only such example. In the book "Secrets of Science and Miracles" M. F. Long cited the story of D. G. Hill about a walk on hot stones on one of the islands of the Tahiti archipelago with the participation of a certain European. Although the pit was so hot that the skin on his face was peeling off, his leather boots were completely undamaged by the fire.

What happens while walking on fire? Most likely, the walker is in an exalted state, in which pain sensations are suppressed, as, for example, during hypnosis sessions. However, in some cases, participants do without trance or ecstasy. At the same time, there is no data indicating that damaged tissues heal so quickly that no traces remain at all (a similar phenomenon is sometimes observed among dervishes, residents of the island of Bali and other "initiates" who know the art of piercing their bodies).

The author found the most daring explanation for such an unusual deviation in people in the work of D. Pierce "Crack in the Cosmic Egg", devoted to the issue of different degrees of perception of "reality". Pierce believes that walking on coals is a classic example of the creation of some new reality (albeit only temporary and on a local scale), in which the fire does not burn as usual. Everything goes well as long as this reality persists, but in the history of walking on fire there are cases of monstrous victims and terrible injuries of those whose faith suddenly broke, and they again found themselves in that world where the fire burns. The magical state in which a person becomes immune to fire appears to be created by the person directing the fire-walking ceremony.

It is probably impossible to explain the ability to walk on fire by spiritual or psychological reasons alone, and here we are talking about some physical phenomenon that has not yet been understood and has not found its explanation.

How else can one explain the fact that in Bulgaria tourists are still taken to one of the villages, where every evening the locals walk on hot coals.

Here you can watch a video of unusual people immune to fire:

Very unusual people with abnormal deviations: "boiling" person

One of the most unusual people on earth is the so-called "boiling people." When scientists from Lima, having climbed very high in the mountains, met Augusto Moravira, they were terribly surprised, says Echo of the Planet. The fact is that the snow, falling on the body of an Indian, instantly melted, flowing down in jets. And the mountaineer's handshake was incredibly hot and humid.

When Augusto's body temperature was taken, the thermometer went off scale. And a special laboratory thermometer, which measured the temperature of this person, showed 43.5 ° C.

However, the phenomenon of people with such abnormal deviations is explained quite simply. According to scientists, the normal high body temperature is due to high blood pressure, and it in turn depends on the high atmospheric pressure. However, after living for some time in Lima, Augusto lowered his body temperature to 37 ° C at a pressure of 120/80. At the same time, he began to freeze even on fine days. But he is not going to return to the mountains. It's nice to feel at the center of a sensation.

The most unusual abilities of people on earth: super-acute hearing and vision

Jozef Povollo-Rzeszowski's parents moved from Poland to Sweden when he was only two years old. At first, the father and mother did not notice any abnormalities in the child. But one day, four-year-old Jozef recounted to his mother a conversation between two people who were a little more than a kilometer away. Of course, Jadwiga did not believe her son. And he actually had super-acute, simply supernatural hearing: the boy freely picked up human speech, sounding one and a half kilometers away.

After some time, he began to amaze others with another unusual ability - super-sharp vision, thanks to which he could freely read a newspaper text at a distance of 1 km.

And cases of such unusual possibilities in humans are far from isolated.

People with an unusual appearance by nature and their photos

The most famous people with an unusual appearance are considered a child with a dog's face and a tower woman with a gigantic stature.

When puppy whining was heard in the delivery room of a Toronto (Canada) clinic, the doctors who delivered the babies were shocked.

Linda and Derrida Jemisson were a wonderful couple, but they lacked a child to be completely happy. The specialists could not help them in any way, and the couple had to turn to the services of a sperm bank. No one can now tell how Linda was impregnated with dog sperm. The course of pregnancy was monitored by doctors, and if they had timely established which fetus develops in the womb, the state of emergency could have been avoided. But a man was born with an unusual appearance by nature: the body of the child was human, and the face was dog. And he burst into puppy barking.

Many have the ability to sing beautifully, play musical instruments virtuoso or move gracefully in the rhythm of the dance. But there are also people who are endowed with truly superhuman qualities from birth or who have acquired them after experiencing life trauma. What amazing abilities of people amazed the world?

"Island of genius" savants

There are many cases in history when, as a result of developmental disabilities or after suffering brain injuries, people show amazing abilities in one or more areas of knowledge. Such people are called savants, which, when translated literally from French, means "scientists."

Areas in which the qualities of savants are most often manifested:

• Music - they are able to play from memory a piece they heard once or sing all the arias they just heard.
• Visual art is to reproduce images seen only once on TV or in a book.
• Arithmetic calculations - easily name the results of multiplications of multi-valued numbers.
• Cartography - accurately reproduce the plan of the area on a sheet of paper after a cursory examination of the area from a height.
• Calendar calculations - in a matter of seconds, determine which day of the week will fall, for example, on January 1, 3009.
• Construction of complex three-dimensional models.

Many savants also show a heightened perception of aromas, a sense of time, and the ability to learn foreign languages.

The world learned about people with such amazing abilities thanks to the film “Rain Man”, which received 4 Oscars. The main character of the film could easily reproduce complex arithmetic calculations in his mind. The prototype of the hero was the American Kim Peak, who has a phenomenal memory. He is able to remember up to 98% of the information read. By the age of 35, he had read and memorized 9,000 volumes of specialized literature, including address books and train schedules.

Sherpa "high-mountain genes"

Representatives of the people living in Eastern Nepal are people who have become famous for their amazing and truly incredible abilities to survive at a critical height of 4 thousand meters above sea level in harsh mountainous conditions. They are indispensable guides and porters, accompanied by climbers during life-threatening ascents of Everest.

The main problem of life at altitude is the lack of oxygen in the body, which occurs due to low atmospheric pressure. In people of flat areas, upon reaching a critical height, an increase in blood viscosity is observed due to an increase in the number of red blood cells. This provokes the development of mountain sickness, in which the risk of manifestation of cardiovascular diseases increases.

The secret of the amazing survival of the Tibetans was discovered just a few years ago. Scientists have found that 90% of the representatives of this nationality have the EPAS1 gene. The high-mountain variant of the gene helps its owners avoid excessive production of red blood cells in hypoxic conditions, thereby preventing the development of heart problems.

"Unity of feelings" of synesthetes

Synesthetes are people in whom irritation of one sense organ provokes an automatic response of another. For example, they perceive letters and numbers as colored images. Months and years they represent in the form of three-dimensional maps or personified with personalities. There are cases when in a hypersensitive person, when pronouncing certain words and recreating images in memory, taste associations appear. When listening to their favorite tune, they can feel the taste of chocolate in their mouths, and the word “basketball” can strongly feel the taste of waffles.

The world-famous representative of synesthetes is a gifted Briton named Daniel Tammet - a man with an amazing ability to perceive numbers mentally. He believes that each number has its own unique shape, and therefore depicts them in the form of paintings and landscapes. According to him, the visual image of the number "Pi" is beautiful, "333" is especially attractive, and "289" is ugly.

In Switzerland, Elisabeth Sulser, synesthetic abilities are manifested as a result of a mixture of three organs of perception: taste, hearing and vision. With "color hearing", she can taste music and see colored sound waves moving at a certain width, height, and depth. These abilities greatly help the creative nature when composing melodies and symphonies from flowers.

Echolocation - sound orientation

Some people can see without having eyes. In this they are helped by sonar vision, referred to as echolocation. The method of reading information is based on the fact that it allows you to determine the position of an object by the delay in the return of a sound wave reflected from it. At the same time, the reflected sound wave activates the areas of the brain responsible for vision, forming a powerful visual illusion.

Ben Underwood is recognized as the most talented person with this amazing opportunity. The boy learned to navigate in space, determining the location and shape of obstacles by making clicking sounds similar to those made by dolphins with his tongue.

By picking up the reflected signals, Ben can dance, climb trees, play basketball, skateboard and bike. Hearing the echo of things, he can imagine landscapes in front of him, but not in color, but in form. Keeping the heard landscape in memory, the boy easily orients himself even in an unfamiliar place.

Through functional brain imaging, visually impaired people can even play video games. For example, Terry Garrett is able to unfold the levels of the game before his eyes only by folding the sounds accompanying the game.

Gutta-percha - people "without bones"

People who have developed an amazing ability to arch their body, literally tying it into a knot, erase our idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe limit of possibilities.

Touching the top of your head to your heel, squeezing through the opening of a tennis racket, sticking your big toe in your mouth… Gutta-percha people can handle any of these tasks.

American Daniel Smith is recognized as the most flexible person. Today, he is a 5-time Guinness World Record holder and a frequent performer in performances and entertainment shows. The “rubber” person easily folds into unnatural compositions. Incomparable flexibility has been given to the record holder since childhood. And he brought it to the possible limit on his own.

In general, the index of flexibility can be judged only after the completion of the formation of the skeleton. By this age, the joints show the ability to various contractions and movements, becoming the way nature intended them.

Research scientists have shown that increased joint mobility is the result of insufficient collagen production, which manifests itself with genetic mutations. Gutta-percha people have extensible ligaments that are prone to frequent dislocations in the event of careless blows or even light falls to the ground.

human magnetism

Magnetism is the amazing ability of people to attract metal, porcelain, glass and even wooden objects. This ability has nothing to do with the natural manifestation of the electromagnetic field, since it is based on a different type of physical impact.

People-magnets met in the middle of the century before last:

• Louis Hamburger, a student at the Massachusetts College, in 1890 advertised his unique abilities to an astonished public when he touched with his fingertips and held a glass container filled with metal shavings in the air.
• A resident of Missouri in 1889 became famous for the fact that while walking he literally "magnetized" to the ground. He moved with quick steps, because at the slightest stop his legs refused to listen to him. To tear them off the ground, he asked for the help of friends. At the moment of separation, a short flash occurred and the effect of "magnetization" disappeared.

Such unique ones are also found among our compatriots. Mikhail Vasiliev, a resident of Cheboksary, was recognized as the Guinness Book record holder, who was able to “magnetize” a 165 kg ingot to his own body. At the same time, the weight of the record holder does not exceed 60 kg.

Some scientists adhere to the point of view that human magnetism is caused by unusually sticky skin, others - by its ability to draw air into itself, creating the effect of vacuum suction. Plus, to consolidate the effect of the “magnet”, a person creates a small angle of inclination.

It is noteworthy that during laboratory tests, people-magnets were even able to attract members of research groups to themselves. In addition, they shared their "charges of energy" with others, endowing them with the ability to also attract objects for a while. The appearance in recent years of a large number of people with amazing abilities of "magnetization" scientists explain by the complication of the ecological situation, which leads to a change in the body's constancy of natural wave interactions.

Immortal HeLa Cells

Humanity throughout all stages of evolution is looking for a way to immortality. A person whose cells are capable of dividing indefinitely outside the native body, remaining immortal, is known to science today. This is Henrietta Lex. She was born in 1920 and died at the age of 31 after unsuccessful treatment for cervical cancer.

The surgeon who operated on her removed tissue samples from the neoplasm, and Dr. George Guy multiplied them, creating an endless line of HeLa. Research has shown that the malignant transformation disabled their growth suppression program, making them immortal.

Today HeLa cells are common in all laboratories. In the world of biomedicine, they are as popular and in demand as petri dishes. The total mass of the recreated material is now many times greater than the weight of their ancestor. The endless cell line, which mimics the human body in vitro, is actively used:

• when cloning;
• in cancer research;
• for drawing up genetic maps;
• when determining the effect of radiation;
• to develop methods of artificial insemination;
• when studying the molecular patterns of AIDS;
• in case of poisoning with toxic substances;

It is noteworthy that HeLa cells feel comfortable in weightless conditions. In December 1960, they were even sent on a satellite into outer space.

The malignant tumor that killed Henrietta made her cells truly unique. It is not known whether this woman wanted immortality, but she found it and in doing so saved more lives than any doctor can do.

People with paranormal abilities have lived in our world at all times. Naturally, unusual abilities have always attracted the attention of people. A number of studies conducted by scientists say that a person uses the abilities of his body and brain only by 10%. After reading our article, you will find out that with unusual abilities (including children), they went down in history and became modern pearls of the Internet.

reptile man

Science has long known cases when a person could change his skin, like snakes and other reptiles. Some Baskirk, born in Missouri in 1851, changes his skin since childhood and this continues throughout his life.

This happens from year to year and always on the same day - June 27th. The skin becomes rough, then it covers in large pieces, and it is removed from the legs and arms, like tights and gloves.

In place of peeling skin, a new one appeared, smooth, like a baby's. Today, Mr. Baskirk has his own "leather collection", which he boasts without hesitation.

The patient who glows

Anna Monaro sick with asthma and there was nothing strange about it, but in 1934 the woman lit up, becoming like a fluorescent lamp. These scared her. Still, during the aggravation of the disease, her breasts emitted a blue glow. This was observed for several weeks, which gave the doctors every right to document the phenomenon.

Sometimes the bluish glow was replaced by green or red. But why Anna had such an unusual ability, no one could clearly say. The psychiatrist voiced the theory that such a reaction was caused by electrical organisms that began to rapidly develop in her body, and radiate radiance. Other doctors just said they didn't know why. The woman has come to terms with her phenomenon, and from time to time continues to shine.

The boy who never sleeps

Unusual abilities among adults are perceived more or less calmly, but when such a thing occurs among children, it is even more interesting. In fact, children very often become "phenomenal." For example, a 3 year old boy Rhett Lamb, is no different in appearance, his unusual ability lies in the fact that he does not know how to sleep. The boy feels cheerful throughout the day, and no medical examinations have revealed abnormalities in the body. He plays like other children, but he cannot sleep. I wonder just one thing, what does he do when his parents go to bed?!

Girl allergic to water

Australian girl named Ashley Morris For 14 years, she suffers from a serious but unusual deviation - she is on water, and it doesn’t matter what temperature the water is and in what quantities it comes into contact with the body.

It's scary to imagine: she is in pain and itching, even when she starts to sweat, let alone bathing. We don't know what the girl does to cleanse her body, but it clearly makes her uncomfortable. Such unusual abilities prevent poor Ashley from drinking water, and it remains a mystery how she quenches her thirst.

Doctors gave the girl a disappointing but very rare diagnosis of Aquagenic Urticaria.

Ice Man

Wim Hof- This is a person who is able to pass the test of exposure to the lowest temperatures on the body. The ice man from the Netherlands, without blinking an eye, endures the lowest temperature conditions. He once set a world record by staying in a tube of cold water with ice for 73 minutes. For another minute, he swam under a crust of ice in a frozen lake, and even conquered Mont Blanc in France in just shorts. Hof could swim in the lake longer, all that's left is to learn how to hold his breath!

He discovered his unusual abilities at the age of 17, but he still believes that the whole thing is in human desire, and it is limitless!

living mermaid

Hannah Frazier from Australia knows how to realize the dream of many girls, namely to transform into a mermaid. It all started in childhood: Hanna made a tail-fin out of plasticine, and as she grew up, she realized that she wanted something more ambitious. Today she can stay underwater for a long time and swim like a real mermaid.

Unusual abilities of people who went down in history

The Wolf Messing Phenomenon

Unusual abilities of Wolf Messing at the age of 11 by neurologist Anabel in Berlin, after the boy ran away from home.

It is worth noting that Messing did not know how to guess notes, drawings, words and the like. His most important ability was to guess future events, it is enough to ask the question "What will happen ..."

In 1937, Messing predicted that "if Hitler turns east, Germany will perish", and in 1953 he predicted Stalin's death on one of the Jewish holidays, which happened.

At the age of 18, he became the host of the ABC program The Magic of David Copperfield, then began to appear on the CBS channel. In his life, he demonstrated to the world the most unusual abilities related to magic. Just remember the disappearance of the plane and the Statue of Liberty, which took place in front of the public.

In addition, Copperfield has realized such illusions as passing through the Chinese Wall, moving to the Bermuda Triangle, flying through the Grand Canyon and much more. real miracles that no one has yet been able to repeat.

The most unusual abilities of ordinary and unusual people

In general, where do these unusual abilities come from? Everyone is different. Sometimes they are laid in the womb, in other cases they appear after experienced shocks, such as a lightning strike and clinical death, and often appear by the will of a person and his persistent desire to do something.

• Here's a bright example of unlimited will when, during the war, a 70-year-old mother carried her lifeless son in her arms for 13 km, never once lowering him to the ground. Phenomenon, right? But here, most likely, boundless love and maternal instinct played.
• Research scientists say that a person only partially uses the capabilities of his brain, and, having read similar stories, it's hard to argue with that. This has been proven once again Michelle Lotito from France, who could eat whatever he wants. So, as a child, Michel "ate" the TV, and when he was 15 years old, he turned his unusual abilities into a kind of business, entertaining people for money and eating whatever they want: rubber, plastic and even glass. Once within two years, and still ate! For this, Lotito got into the Guinness Book of Records.
• Another interesting case from life: biologist K. Richardson can sit in a cage with lions all night and come out unharmed. The lions take him for "their own", but for what reasons, it is not known.
• There are people who can only move objects with your eyes, and even bend metal like a fragile lady Monica Tejada. A woman Khanuma from Africa knows how cry diamond tears. Miracles, and nothing more, and there are many such in the world.

Conclusion

It is worth noting that modern children are ready-made phenomena, so you should take a closer look at them. Perhaps it is the children who will push you into the world of extraordinary abilities, where it is so interesting to be! Try it and leave a comment!

We know that human possibilities are not unlimited, and in general this is so. But some people are born with abilities that go far beyond the ordinary: as if the human body decides to break down the barriers set by nature. The existence of people with superpowers is direct evidence that the human body has much more capabilities than we can imagine. Who are they - the result of evolution or isolated cases of natural anomalies?

15. Magnet Man - Liu Tou Lin

I try my best not to call him Magneto, after all, that movie villain, and Lew Tou Lin is a real person. But with an unrealistic ability to attract metal (and not only metal) objects to your body. As if some kind of force is holding them from the inside - despite the fact that each item can weigh up to 2 kg, and in total a magnet man is able to hold 36 kg. Scientists from the Malaysian University of Technology came to the conclusion that Tou Ling's skin has a certain unique "grip" property, which helps objects "stick" to the body - as if under the influence of a magnetic field. What is most strange is that this ability is inherited in the Tou Ling family, and his three grandchildren can boast of the same ability.

14 Supernatural Memory - Daniel Tammet

People with phenomenal mathematical abilities and powerful memory are not uncommon. They can solve complex mathematical equations faster than a computer or reproduce in memory some event of a decade ago with an accuracy of a second. However, Daniel Tammet is the first to describe how his brain works while doing this.

For Daniel, each number from 0 to 10,000 has its own image and distinct characteristics, such as texture, shape, color, and feel. For example, the number 289 looks very ugly, the number 333 is much more attractive, and the number Pi is almost perfect. Daniel has Asperger's Syndrome and his method allows him to memorize numbers and events with incredible accuracy. For example, he can reproduce pi up to 22514 decimal places, which he did as a demonstration in 2004. It took 5 hours and 9 minutes.

13. Eagle vigilance - Veronica Seider

In the cinema, we have repeatedly seen heroes that have “super vision” and are able to see even a fly that is a kilometer away from them. Famous shooters Eagle Eye and Legolas are just one of them. But in the real world, such a person exists, and this is Veronica Seider - the world champion in looking at the smallest objects at long distances without the use of binoculars or any other optics. It has been proven that she is able to distinguish people who are at a distance of 1.6 km from her. Her vision is 20 times sharper than that of an ordinary person.

12 Sonar Vision - Daniel Kish and Ben Underwood

Do you know how bats "see"? With the help of echolocation: they make special sounds, and then their auditory system picks up reflections of sounds from obstacles. Ben Underwood had the same ability: he used sounds to "see" despite losing his sight to retinoblastoma, an eye cancer. It is not clear how, but he managed to develop an extraordinary ability to echolocation. By making sharp clicks of his tongue, he "saw" objects so well that it greatly improved his quality of life. Sadly, Ben Underwood died in 2009 due to a recurrence of cancer. Ben was the brightest of Daniel Kish's students. Daniel is blind and also navigates the world using echolocation (called "sonar vision"). He is so good at it that he helps other blind people by teaching them to "see" the world around him the way he does.

11. The Beast Charmer - Kevin Richardson

Kevin is a South African behavioral zoologist who studies animal behavior. He understands them so well that several lion prides and some packs of hyenas literally accepted him into their membership. He eats, sleeps and plays with these animals like they are his family. When communicating with wild animals, Kevin trusts intuition more than book rules. He is known for treating lions as highly evolved creatures, showing them his respect and emphasizing a sense of community and family rather than harshly repressing and training them.

But Kevin warns that his work is dangerous and advises no one to follow in his footsteps without proper training. He communicates and makes friends only with animals that have grown before his eyes. Still, the beasts had scratched and bitten and wounded him many times... although they had never done it on purpose.

10. A person who sees music - Arthur Lintgen

Some people are not able to learn a second language, but the American doctor Arthur Lintgen can read the language of records: by the pattern of the grooves and their color, he determines which piece of music is recorded there. But Arthur doesn't claim to be a superhero. He attributes his skill to musical erudition and says that it extends only to classical music from Beethoven onward. The earlier works, he says, are too similar in structure and difficult to recognize. And when they gave him a record that contained an Alice Cooper album, Lintgen said that it looked like a jumble of sounds and sounded like gibberish. However, Arthur Lintgen's ability is unique in its own way.

9. Human Computer - Shakuntala Devi

Shakuntala Devi (1929 - 2013) is a clear proof that the human brain is capable of extraordinary things like incredibly complex and fast arithmetic calculations. Once, a Berkeley professor asked Shakuntala to calculate the cube root of 61,629,875 and the seventh root of 170,859,375. To the professor's surprise, Shakuntala gave the answers (395 and 15, respectively) in just a few seconds. In 1977, at the University of Dallas, she managed to extract the 23rd root of a number of 201 characters in 50 seconds! The university computer confirmed the correctness of the results shown, but it took more than a minute to work.

8. Photographic memory - Stephen Wiltshire

If you have not seen the work of this artist, then you should definitely do it. Steven is an autistic artist who can reproduce from memory the most detailed landscape of any city that he happens to see from a height. All it takes is a short helicopter flight over the city and Stephen will use his photographic memory to create a panoramic image of it with amazing accuracy.

7 Iceman - Wim Hof

While ordinary people trying to climb Mount Everest or Kilimanjaro are properly insulated, Dutch daredevil Wim Hof ​​performs such tricks in nothing but shorts. Extremely cold-hardy, Hof says he uses the tantric tummo meditation technique, a method of developing inner warmth used by Tibetan yogis, to help regulate body temperature. Wim Hof ​​is the absolute world champion in bathing in a bath filled with pieces of ice. An ordinary person cannot stay in such a bath for more than 15-20 minutes. Hof's record is almost two hours.

6 Super Samurai - Isao Machii

The Japanese master of martial art Iaido owns the techniques of real samurai. He can predict the trajectory of an object with such frightening accuracy that he calmly cuts the object in half with his sword - and can do this at least every second. He is the fastest man with a sword not only in Japan, but in the whole world. Machii can cut through plastic bullets flying at a speed of 300 km/h. Looks like he really is a superhero.

5. Jaws of Steel - Radhakrishnan Velu

It is impossible to imagine what strength a person must have who is able to drag a train of several cars with his own teeth, as Radhakrishnan Velu, a native of Malaysia, does. For such strong teeth, he is called the "Tooth King". And it's still not clear - how can you drag a train weighing 260.8 tons over a distance of 4.2 meters, excuse me, with your teeth? The Tooth King claims that when he was 14, an Indian guru taught him to use his teeth to control all parts of the body.

4. The Man Who Never Sleeps - Thai Ngoc

Have you ever tried not sleeping for more than 48 hours? Bad experience. Even one sleepless night has a very bad effect on the well-being of an ordinary person, but with the Vietnamese peasant Thai Ngok, everything is different. He hasn't slept since 1973. He himself believes that the fever he suffered then became the cause of insomnia. All these years, this man has been trying to sleep - with the help of drugs and even alcohol, but to no avail. Surprisingly, doctors do not find any abnormalities and serious diseases in him and say that everything is in order with his health.

3 Super Endurance - Dean Karnazes

There is the endurance of an ordinary person and there is the endurance of the American Dean Karnazes. Dean is a long-distance runner and super marathon runner. And if he is fed and watered in a timely manner, he can run endlessly, literally until retirement. In other words, his stamina level is so high and his energy regenerates so fast that he can run without stopping. Among his achievements are, for example, the following: running on a treadmill for 80 hours (560 km) and 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.

2. Stomach of Steel - Michel Lotito

The Frenchman Michel Lotito (1950 - 2007) had an insatiable appetite for completely inedible objects. It is clear that with such abilities a direct road to pop artists. At his performances, "Monsieur Eat Everything" absorbed objects made of metal, glass, rubber and plastic, and even indigestion did not torment him later. And he is also known for dismantling and gradually eating (over two years) an entire plane. The walls of Lotito's stomach were twice as thick as they should be, and his gastric juices were also working unusually hard and allowed him to digest everything.

1. Electric Man - Raj Mohan Nair

Electricity is dangerous, everyone knows that. An electric shock of even one tenth of an ampere can be fatal... but not for Raj Mohan Nair. A current of up to 10 amperes can be passed through his body and this will not cause him any harm. The only side effect is a momentary blindness. The story of how Raj Mohan discovered his superpower is tragic. When he was 7 years old, his mother died. Unable to cope with grief, the boy tried to commit suicide by climbing a power line pole and grabbing an exposed wire. To his surprise, he survived and realized that he had an extraordinary ability. The resistance of his body to electric current is 10 times higher than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, he can take bare wires in his hands and pretend to be an electrical circuit.
