So, to your attention are the 8 most unusual deviations in the world, of course, all of them are real. life stories.

1. The man who doesn't feel the cold

Wim Hof, a Dutchman, amazed the whole world with his extraordinary ability - insensitivity to cold! His body does not suffer and is not subject to changes from extremely low temperatures to human body. He even put nine world records.

Wim Hof swam 57.5 meters in 61 seconds in 2000. At first glance, nothing amazing, but if you do not take into account the fact that this swim took place under the ice of a frozen lake in Finland. True to tradition, he only wore warm leggings and stockings.

In 2006 he conquered Mont Blanc in shorts alone! The following year, he tried to conquer the dream of all climbers - Everest, but he was prevented ... frostbite toes, as he again climbed the mountain in one underwear. And yet he does not lose hope and faith, continuing his attempts.

In 2007, the Dutch Iceman amazed everyone and ran half the marathon distance. (21 km) barefoot in the snow and in the shorts themselves. His path lay beyond the Arctic Circle in Finland, where the snow temperature did not exceed 35 degrees below zero.

In 2008, Wim set his own stay record in a transparent tube filled with ice. Previously, he managed to stay there for about 64 minutes. Now a new world record has been set - 73 minutes!

For scholars, the Dutch remains unsolved mystery. Many believe that Wim has this ability innate, but the latter denies this in every possible way. In many interviews, Hof says that this is only the result of hard training of the body and spirit. But to the question of revealing the secret " Ice Man» is silent. Once in a chat, he even mentioned a glass of Bacardi. But still, after a while, he revealed the secret of his success: the fact is that he practices the Tummo tantric system, which in fact no one except monks uses.

In any case, such an ability is the fruit of long-term training, endurance and fortitude, which can only be envied and admired.

But imagine that some people have fulfilled the dream of many and have not slept for 2-3 ... years!

One of these phenomena was a baby named Rhett. It looks like an ordinary boy, he was born in 2006 in the family of Shannon and David Lemb. Constantly active and inquisitive child, like all children of his age. But when the time comes for daytime and nighttime sleep, he still remains an active and awake tomboy. He is already seven years old, and he has not closed his eyes!

This boy has cornered the most the best doctors the world who had the opportunity to examine it. No one has been able to explain this deviation. But over time, it turned out that the boy had a displacement of the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, which leads to irreversible consequences. This pathology has already been called Arnold-Chiari disease. The fact is that Rett's cerebellum is pinched in exactly the place that is responsible for sleep and the normal functioning and renewal of the body.

scientist from University of California they even gave a special name to such a phenomenon - hyperthymestic syndrome, which in Greek means "supermemory".

Previously only one example was known similar manifestation abilities, but soon there were five more people with a similar memory in the world. Scientists have not established the cause of such a violation, but they were able to see some similarities between all patients: they are all left-handed and collect television programs.

Jill Price herself took up writing books, where she mentions long days depressed because she can't forget the bad things that happened to her.
But she also admits that she could not refuse such an ability.

Rene Truta survived after a terrible hurricane lifted her 240 meters into the air and 12 minutes later lowered her 18 kilometers from home. As a result incredible adventure the unfortunate woman lost all her hair and one ear, broke her arm, and also received many minor wounds.

“Everything happened so quickly that it seems to me that it was a dream,” Rene said after being discharged from the hospital on May 27, 1997. I posed for the camera and then something caught me like a dry leaf. There was a noise like from a freight train. I found myself in the air. Dirt, debris, sticks hit my body and I felt a sharp pain in my right ear. I was lifted higher and higher and I lost consciousness.

When René Truta woke up, she was lying on top of a hill 18 kilometers from home. From above, a freshly plowed strip of land sixty meters wide was visible - this was the tornado "worked".
Police said no one else in the area was hurt by the tornado. As it turned out, similar cases have already been. In 1984, near Frankfurt am Main (Germany), a tornado lifted 64 schoolchildren into the air and lowered them unharmed 100 meters from the take-off site.

Nine days later, the athlete was found by a nomad family. By this time, the marathon runner was practically unconscious and had lost 18 kilograms.

Nine o'clock at the bottom

Incredibly lucky owner of a pleasure yacht 32-year-old Roy Levin, his girlfriend, cousin Ken, and most importantly, Ken's wife, 25-year-old Susan. They all survived. The yacht was calmly drifting under sail in the waters of the Gulf of California, when clear sky a sudden storm came up. The ship capsized. Susan, who was in the cabin at that time, went down with the yacht. It happened not far from the coast, but in a deserted place, and there were no eyewitnesses.

"It's incredible that the ship sank without any damage," said rescuer Bill Hutchison. And another accident: while sinking, the yacht turned over again, so that it lay on the bottom in a “normal” position. The "swimmers" who were overboard did not have life jackets and belts. But they were able to hold out on the water for two hours until they were picked up by boats passing by. Boat owners contacted coast guard, a group of scuba divers was immediately sent to the crash site.

A few more hours passed. “We knew that one passenger remained on board, but we did not hope to find her alive,” Bill continued. “One could only hope for a miracle.”

The portholes were tightly battened down, the saloon door was hermetically sealed, but the water still seeped in, thereby displacing the air. With the last of her strength, the woman kept her head above the water - there was still an air layer under the very ceiling. “Leaning into the porthole, I saw Susan's face as white as chalk,” Bill said. Almost 8 hours have passed since the disaster!

It was not possible to free the unfortunate a simple matter. The yacht was at a depth of twenty meters, and handing her aqualung would have meant letting water inside. Something had to be done urgently. Bill went upstairs for an oxygen tank. His colleagues signaled to Susan that she should hold her breath and open the salon door. She understood. But it turned out differently. The door opened, but a lifeless body in a fancy cocktail dress floated out. She still took water into her lungs. The count went by seconds. Bill picked up the woman, rushed to the surface and did it! The doctor on the boat literally pulled Susan from the other world.

great hover

Yogi Ravi Varanasi from the city of Bhopal, right in front of the astonished public, quite deliberately hung himself on eight hooks, catching them on the skin of his back and legs. And when, three months later, he moved from a hanging position to a standing position, he began to perform a set of physical exercises as if nothing had happened.

During the "great hover" Ravi Varanasi was one meter above the ground. To increase the effect, the students pierced the skin on his hands and tongue with needles. All this time, the yogi ate quite moderately - a handful of rice and a cup of water during the day. He hung in a structure that looked like a tent. When it rained, a tarpaulin was thrown over the wooden frame. Ravi willingly communicated with the public and was under the supervision of the German doctor Horst Groning.

“After hovering, he remained in excellent physical form, said Dr. Groning. “It is a pity that science still does not know the methodology of self-hypnosis, which is used by yoga to stop bleeding and relieve pain.”

Wing mechanic

On May 27, 1995, during tactical maneuvers, the MiG-17, having left the runway, got stuck in the mud. Ground service mechanic Pyotr Gorbanev, together with his comrades, rushed to the rescue.

Freed from the mud, the MiG began to quickly pick up speed and a minute later took to the air, "grabbing" the mechanic, who was bent around the front of the wing by the air flow.

While climbing, the fighter pilot felt that the plane was behaving strangely. Looking around, he saw a foreign object on the wing. The flight took place at night, so it was not possible to consider it. From the ground they gave advice to shake off the "foreign object" by maneuvering.

To the pilot, the silhouette on the wing seemed very human-like and he requested permission to land. The plane landed at 23:27, having been in the air for about half an hour.

Girl - night lamp

Nguyen Thi Nga is a resident of the small village of Anthong, Hoan An County, in Binh Dinh Province (Vietnam). Until recently, the village itself and Nguyen did not differ in anything special - the village is like a village, a girl is like a girl: she went to school, helped her parents, picked oranges and lemons with her friends on the surrounding plantations.

But one day, when Nguyen went to bed, her body began to glow brightly, as if phosphorescent. A huge halo enveloped the head, and golden-yellow rays began to emanate from the arms, legs and torso. In the morning they took the girl to the healers. They did some manipulations, but nothing helped. Then the parents took their daughter to Saigon, to the hospital. Nguyen was taken for examination, but no abnormalities were found in his health.

It is not known how this story could have ended if Nguyen had not been examined by the well-known healer Thang in those parts. He asked if the glow bothered her. She replied that no, but only the incomprehensible fact that happened on the second day of the new year according to the lunar calendar worries.

“The most favorable time for the grace of the Almighty,” the healer reassured her. - At this time, God rewards according to merit. And if you haven’t earned anything yet, then you still deserve it.” Returned to Nguyen peace of mind, but the glow remains.

When conducting an experiment, a piece of meat and a leaf of a plant were placed in front of 29-year-old artist Jody Ostroit. Next to it was an ordinary electron microscope. Jody looked at the objects with the naked eye for a couple of minutes, then took a sheet of paper and depicted them internal structure. Then the researchers could approach the microscope and make sure that the artist zoomed in, but did not distort the essence of the depicted in any way.

“It didn’t come to me right away,” Jody said. - At first, for some reason, I began to scrupulously draw the texture different items- trees, furniture, animals. After that, I began to notice that I see much smaller details that are elusive to the ordinary eye. Skeptics say I use a microscope. But where can I get an electron microscope?”

Jody Ostroit sees the smallest cells of matter, photographs them, as it were, and then transfers them to paper with ultra-thin brushes and a pencil. “It would be better if my gift went to some scientist. Why is he to me? So far, my pictures are being sold out, but the fashion for them will pass. Although I see deeper than any professor, but only in literally the words".

The flight attendant holding Lancaster believed that he was dead, but did not let go, as he was afraid that the body would get into the engine and it would burn out, reducing the aircraft's chances of a safe landing.
