Incredible stories about people. Incredible coincidences and inexplicable stories from life

Renee Truta survived after a terrible hurricane lifted her 240 meters into the air and 12 minutes later dropped her 18 kilometers from her home. As a result of the 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,” Renee said after being discharged from the hospital on May 27, 1997. I was posing in front of the camera and then something picked me up like a dry leaf. There was a noise like a freight train. I found myself in the air. Dirt, garbage, 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 Renee Truta came to, she was lying on a hilltop 18 kilometers from home. From above, a freshly plowed strip of land about sixty meters wide was visible - this was the work of the tornado.
Police said no one else in the area was injured by the tornado. As it turned out, similar cases have already happened. In 1984, near Frankfurt am Main (Germany), a tornado lifted 64 schoolchildren into the air and dropped them unharmed 100 meters from the take-off site.

Survive in the desert

1994 Mauro Prosperi from Italy was discovered in the Sahara Desert. Incredibly, the man spent nine days in the sweltering heat and survived. Mauro Prosperi took part in the marathon race. Due to a sandstorm, he lost his way and got lost. Two days later he ran out of water. Mayro decided to open his veins and commit suicide, but he did not succeed, because due to a lack of water in the body, the blood began to clot very quickly. Nine days later, the athlete was found by a family of nomads. By this time, the marathon runner was practically unconscious and had lost 18 kilograms.

Nine o'clock at the bottom

The owner of the pleasure yacht, 32-year-old Roy Levin, his girlfriend, cousin Ken, and most importantly, Ken’s wife, 25-year-old Susan, were incredibly lucky. They all survived. The yacht was calmly drifting under sail in the waters of the Gulf of California when a squall suddenly came from a clear sky. The ship capsized. Susan, who was in the cabin at that time, sank along 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 being damaged,” said rescuer Bill Hutchison. And one more accident: while diving, the yacht turned over again, so that it lay on the bottom in a “normal” position. The “swimmers” who ended up overboard did not have life jackets or belts. But they were able to stay on the water for two hours until they were picked up by a boat passing by. The owners of the boat contacted the coast guard, and a group of scuba divers was immediately sent to the scene of the disaster.

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

The portholes were tightly battened down, the cabin door was closed hermetically, but 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 gap right at the ceiling. “Looking to the porthole, I saw Susan’s chalk-white face,” said Bill. Almost 8 hours have passed since the disaster!”

Freeing the unfortunate woman was not an easy task. The yacht was at a depth of twenty meters, and handing over scuba gear to it would mean letting water inside. Something had to be done urgently. Bill went upstairs to get an oxygen tank. His colleagues indicated 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 an elegant cocktail dress floated out. She still took some water into her lungs. Seconds counted. Bill grabbed the woman, rushed to the surface and made it! The doctor on the boat literally pulled Susan out of the other world.

Great Hanging

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

During the "great hanging" Ravi of Varanasi was one meter above the ground. To increase the effect, the students pierced the skin of his hands and tongue with needles. All this time, the yogi ate quite moderately - a handful of rice and a cup of water throughout the day. He was hanging in a tent-like structure. 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.

“He remained in excellent physical shape after hanging,” Dr. Groening noted. “It’s a pity that science still does not know the methodology of self-hypnosis, which is used by yogis to stop bleeding and relieve pain.”

Mechanic on the wing

On May 27, 1995, during tactical maneuvers, the MiG-17 left the runway and got stuck in the mud. Ground service mechanic Pyotr Gorbanev and his comrades rushed to the rescue. Through joint efforts they were able to push the plane onto the GDP. Freed from the dirt, the MiG began to quickly pick up speed and a minute later rose into the air, “grabbing” the mechanic, who was bent around the front part 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 see it. They gave advice from the ground to shake off the “foreign object” by maneuvering.

The silhouette on the wing seemed very human-like to the pilot and he requested permission to land. The plane landed at 23:27, having been in the air for about half an hour. All this time, Gorbanev was conscious on the wing of the fighter - he was held tightly by the oncoming air flow. After landing, they found out that the mechanic escaped with severe fright and two broken ribs.

Girl - night lamp

Nguyen Thi Nga is a resident of the small village of An Theong in Hoan An County, in Binh Dinh Province (Vietnam). Until recently, both the village itself and Nguyen were not distinguished by anything special - a village like a village, a girl like a girl: she studied at school, helped her parents, and picked oranges and lemons from the surrounding plantations with her friends.

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 examined, but no abnormalities were found in her health.

It is unknown 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 was bothering her. She replied that no, but that she was only worried about the incomprehensible fact that happened on the second day of the new year according to the lunar calendar.

“The most favorable time for the grace of the Almighty,” the healer reassured her. – At this time, God rewards what he deserves. And if you haven’t earned anything yet, then you will still deserve it.” Nguyen's peace of mind returned, but the glow remained.

During the experiment, a piece of meat and a plant leaf were placed in front of 29-year-old artist Jody Ostroit. Nearby stood an ordinary electron microscope. Jody carefully examined the objects with the naked eye for a couple of minutes, then took a sheet of paper and depicted their internal structure. Researchers could then go up to the microscope and see that the artist had enlarged the scale without distorting the essence of what was being depicted in the least.

“It didn’t come to me right away,” Jody said. – At first, for some reason, I began to meticulously draw the texture of various objects - trees, furniture, animals. Then I began to notice that I was seeing much finer details, elusive to the ordinary eye. Skeptics say that I use a microscope. But where can I get an electron microscope?

Jody Ostroit sees the smallest cells of matter, as if photographing them, 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 do I need it? For now my pictures are selling out, but the fashion for them will pass. Although I see deeper than any professor, but only in the literal sense of the word.”

Captain behind the windshield

It's not just motorists who need to wear a seat belt: the captain of the British Airways BAC 1-11 Series 528FL, Tim Lancaster, probably remembered this basic safety rule forever after June 10, 1990.

While flying the plane at an altitude of 5273 meters, Tim Lancaster relaxed his seat belt. Shortly thereafter, the airliner's windshield burst. The captain immediately flew out through the opening, and his back was pressed against the outside of the plane's fuselage. Lancaster's legs were caught between the wheel and the control panel, and the cockpit door, torn off by the airflow, landed on the radio and navigation panel, breaking it.

Flight attendant Nigel Ogden, who was in the cockpit, was not taken aback and firmly grabbed the captain’s legs. The co-pilot managed to land the plane only after 22 minutes, all this time the captain of the plane was outside.

The flight attendant holding Lancaster believed he was dead, but did not let go because he was afraid that the body would get into the engine and it would burn out, reducing the plane's chances of landing safely. After landing, they found out that Tim was alive, doctors diagnosed him with bruises, as well as fractures of his right hand, a finger on his left hand and his right wrist. After 5 months, Lancaster took the helm again. Steward Nigel Ogden escaped with a dislocated shoulder and frostbite on his face and left eye.

Sign: evil always returns to the person who committed it.

In the early 90s, I divorced my husband, tired of his drunkenness and worthlessness, after which I cared for my four children alone. I don't have any relatives. She sewed, knitted for people, shuttled... And then a young neighbor on the landing, having separated from her husband, decided to go to her family in Siberia with her two-year-old son. She borrowed a small amount of money from me for the trip and, promising to return it, said that her husband would not go anywhere: in their family “they know how to do a lot.” After some time, she actually returned and got together with her husband.

Cruel words

My children and I had every penny in our account, but this woman did not pay me the debt upon arrival. I once told her everything I thought about her. The neighbor promised to get even with me, again saying that she “can do something.”
And soon trouble happened to my first-born Roma. He was eager to join the army, but after serving for three months, he ended up in a military hospital. After another three months, the son was discharged, advised to improve his health in a sanatorium. But he considered himself healthy.

After some time, Roma decided to marry a neighbor’s girl, whom he knew from school. But she laughed at him in the presence of another guy. Why, they say, does she need a poor man, and even a sick one? Something in my son’s soul broke. From an early age, my children were baptized, and the eldest son knew well that under no circumstances should one take one’s own life. But after the cruel words spoken by the girl, Roma left - forever. He committed suicide on the street. But I didn’t find out about this right away.

At that time, I had very little to save for my own apartment. And I, once again, decided to go buy the goods. Exhausted from trading, I hoped that this trip would be my last. And so it happened.

Howl of a dog

Getting ready for the trip late in the evening, I approached our final bus stop, where a neighbor was already standing. Here, on the outskirts of the city, the forest approaches the bus stop, and after the rains a huge puddle formed in front of it. It was a chilly autumn.

While waiting for the bus, my neighbor and I were exchanging meaningless phrases and noticed how a young black kitten emerged from the fishing line opposite us. Somehow eeriely, meowing gutturally, he slowly, purposefully walked towards us. There was something strange in his behavior. For some reason it seemed to me that he was looking straight into my eyes. And when the kitten, without avoiding the dirty cold puddle and still meowing terribly, entered it, my neighbor and I were simply speechless. At that moment our bus arrived, and it seemed to us that the cat had disappeared under the wheels. But sitting on the bus, which turned around, taking us to the city center, we noticed that the animal was already sitting at the bus stop and looking after us...

Having got off at the stop I needed, I walked along the railway embankment to the station. Still under the impression of what she had seen, she walked past the private sector, when suddenly a heartbreaking howl of a dog was heard. I felt completely uneasy. All the way, while I walked to the station, the dog did not stop talking. I also thought that, according to folk superstitions, a howling dog means big trouble; something bad will probably happen to someone. It was somehow painful in my soul, but there was no premonition that I was about to lose my son forever. But this happened exactly at the hour when I walked to the station.

For some reason, even as a child, I knew that when I got married, I would have three children - two sons and a daughter. And remembering this, when I gave birth to my fourth child, I was always worried about him, what if something happened to him and I would really be left with three? But I had no idea that I would lose my eldest son.

Uninvited guest

The next day I took the evening train back home with the goods. My daughter met me on the platform, which had never happened before. She stayed at home as the mistress and looked after her younger brother. My daughter did not answer my questions. Getting off the bus and approaching the house, I noticed that the neighbors, seeing me, began to whisper. It became clear that something had happened in our family. And when I entered the apartment and saw the curtained mirrors, I understood everything. It seemed like some kind of terrible, wild dream. Now I’ll wake up from it and everything will be the same!..
Soon the girl’s mother came into the house and rejected Roma. She began to explain to me that all the young people curse her daughter, supposedly she is to blame for the death of my son. I was in prostration and didn’t quite understand what she was talking about.

It didn’t occur to me that my long-awaited firstborn, at just 19 years old, was gone forever. I have never had the opportunity to see someone off on their last journey. But I, completely unaware of the customs, did everything as expected...

My girlfriends were preparing a funeral dinner in the yard. It was they who drew attention to the black kitten, which got under their feet, rushing into the house, bothering everyone with heart-rending meows. And when he finally got into the room, he jumped onto my lap and rushed into the coffin. We were all numb from surprise. I grabbed the kitten, but it, clinging to Roma’s funeral suit with its claws, made some eerie sounds, like a howl. It was not without difficulty that we were able to drag him away; someone threw this strange animal into the yard.
Many people observed this. And people still remember this extraordinary event. Moreover, this story had a truly mystical continuation.

boomerang

On the ninth day after the funeral, the whole family gathered to go to the cemetery. Already approaching the bus stop, we heard a familiar meow - it was a black kitten rushing towards us. For some reason, I told my youngest son to take it home and lock it on the veranda. But, as it turned out, he left the kitten in the yard. Later, when we return from the cemetery, the neighbor will tell us that before her eyes this unfortunate animal died under the wheels of a car. Our neighbor, working as a truck driver, drove up to the house for a couple of minutes to pick up documents. Meanwhile, the kitten climbed onto the wheel of his car and lay down on it. The driver got into the cab, started the engine and drove off. But for some reason the animal was not afraid of the sound of the engine running, nor the fact that the neighbor, who saw him at the last moment, screamed at him to jump off the wheel, the fool. And, amazingly, there was nothing left of him, not even a bloody stain! What was it?

Much later, the words of my debtor neighbor surfaced in my memory, who promised that I would suffer until the end of my days. I believe that she is the culprit of my misfortunes.
Everyone has long known that evil committed comes back as a boomerang and is always punished. I’m not specifically interested in her affairs, but I know that everything in her family is very, very bad. And God will be her judge if everything that happened is her doing. And I pray all the time for Roma’s soul. They say you can’t do this, but I know that mother’s prayer is the most powerful. And I hope that I have forgiven my son’s sin. After all, his psyche was broken, and he was unable to bear the pain that was caused to him.

Over all times, the crowns of nature have accumulated many amazing stories about themselves. Some of them are truly frightening, others are alarming, and others amaze and even inspire achievements. So what situations that happened to people in different eras have the right to be called the most extraordinary of all?

Among the amazing stories about the lives of people side by side with wild animals, the story of Marina can be considered almost the canonical embodiment of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan stories.

Chapman, then a little 5-year-old girl, ended up in the Colombian jungle in the 50s of the last century. She ended up in impassable forests because she was kidnapped and then, for some reason, left there by unknown men. Soon the baby was found by a group of monkeys. Its representatives began to show a benign interest in a larger, but still similar individual. The girl quickly got used to it and became part of the community: she began to move on all fours, steal food, look for fleas and, if possible, make some sounds.

After 5 years, Marina accidentally exposed herself to poachers, who immediately decided to make money from the young creature and send her to a brothel. However, due to her age, Chapman only performed the work of a maid there. Then the girl’s bitter fate continued with beatings and imprisonment in the mafioso’s house, where she found herself after escaping from a brothel. Soon justice prevailed, and Mowgli found good people. One of the women became her adoptive mother.

Today Marina lives in Bradford, UK, with her husband and children. She again mastered human speech and even learned to be a chef. However, the amazing story from her life still reminds us of itself. For example, Chapman can still confidently move on all fours, climb trees and give a tough fight.

Bird child

The next amazing story from life will also be dedicated to the baby, only it is no longer 50, but more than 280 years away from modern times. In 1735, the German Schmidt family from the small town of Tauha was preparing for the birth of their 4th child. The couple, 28-year-old Johanna-Sofia and 38-year-old Andreas, not only did not expect to face premature birth at 8 months of pregnancy, but also to see what it would bring with them...

The baby that emerged combined the features of a human and a chicken. The strangeness of the phenomenon was further enhanced by the fact that all the previous offspring of the couple were absolutely normal and healthy. Gottlieb Friederici, who published the work “The Rarest Human Monster,” once took on the task of explaining this amazing case; it was he who preserved the baby’s body in alcohol, which then ended up in the Waldenburg Museum in Germany. However, even today, progressive doctors and researchers have not been able to identify the nature of the appearance of such a creature and find in history other examples of people with a cleroid-shaped skull, the absence of ears, an underdeveloped lower jaw, an abnormally sized heart and long fingers ending in claws. Scientists were only able to establish the gender of the bird child, who brought another mystery into this life - it was a girl.

Three-eyed patient

Some amazing incidents from life can bring a lot of inconvenience to the main characters. For example, once in China, doctors discovered a 25-year-old man with 3 eyes. For all time, humanity has encountered such precedents only 3 times.

An additional eye, uncharacteristic for ordinary people, was located on the young man’s temple on the left side. The eye included all the necessary elements: eyelid, pupil, lacrimal gland and even the brow ridge. But he also had one significant drawback - he could not see anything at all, and also significantly worsened the vision of his “partners”.

Blood that conquers poison

The next amazing and incredible story will also be associated with the inexplicable characteristics of the human body, but in this case you will need to move to India. Today it is home to Singh Abu, who has earned the nickname "Lord of Snakes", although he could also be dubbed "Lord of Death". The fact is that this man experimentally found out: the bites of crawling dangerous viper not only do not kill him, but even make him stronger!

Research has found that Indian blood has an unusual composition that breaks down poison and then turns it into useful nutrients. This is truly amazing, but the liquid circulating in the circulatory system of the Lord of Snakes does not belong to any group known today (0, A, B, AB). Singh-Abu decided to turn the lucky break into a business and make a living from his uniqueness: he is currently showing people performances where he walks barefoot on a reptile-infested floor and performs various tricks with them.

Tears made of plastic

And here is another story that is considered one of the most amazing not only in North Africa, where the phenomenon girl Hanuma lives, but throughout the world. How many people have cried at least once in their lives? Of course, there are many. However, the main character of this story is not familiar with tears in the usual sense.

The baby grew up as a non-capricious and obedient child, so her parents did not immediately notice her peculiarity. Only when the girl matured enough to help her mother with housework did the couple realize how different she was from the rest. One day Hanuma was cutting an onion when suddenly hard grains like beads fell from her eyes. This amazing case would have remained the property of the North African family if its head had not decided to use beautiful and easy-to-cut crystals in his jewelry work. Stories about beautiful jewelry began to pass from buyer to buyer, until the product was purchased by a researcher interested in its composition. He found out that the main element, namely Hanuma's tears, is a special type of plastic, the manufacturing method of which is still unknown to the world.

Scientists have still not been able to explain this amazing story. The most interesting and joyful thing is that the “grains” falling from the eyes do not interfere with Hanuma in real life. They already harden on the eyelashes, do not stick to the skin, do not spoil vision and do not cause pain.

Funny incidents and coincidences

Among the most amazing stories from life are not only those that can cause bewilderment, but also those that simply make you smile. Here are some of them:

• After landing on the surface of the Moon in 1969, American Neil Armstrong immediately said the phrase: “I wish you success, Mr. Gorski!” Once upon a time, while still a boy, the future astronaut witnessed a quarrel between a couple living nearby. During the showdown, Mrs. Gorski blurted out that the neighbor's shooter would rather fly to the moon than her husband could satisfy a woman.

• A phenomenal incident happened in 1965 in a village in Scotland. Residents gathered at the local cinema to enjoy the film "Around the World in 80 Days". At the moment when the frame showed the sending of the balloon and the cutting of the rope, the audience heard a roar. It turned out that exactly the same ship had landed on the roof!

• In 1966, a 4-year-old boy named Roger Losier nearly drowned near Salem, USA. He was noticed in time and pulled out of the water by the brave Alice Blaze. In 1974, Roger, without knowing it, repaid the debt to the savior, namely, in the same place, he saved from death a man who turned out to be her husband.

This is an interesting story about how 80 millionaires appeared overnight in one village.

And this story began like this. Back in 1917, Antonio Fernandez was born in the Spanish village of Cerezales del Condado. His family lived very poorly, and his parents, who had 13 children, had to work to the limit of their strength in order to somehow feed themselves. Antonio Fernandez attended school until the age of 14, but never completed it. He was forced to quit his studies and go to work in the fields to help his parents. It would seem, what could be remarkable about this person? But an extraordinary fate awaited him.

In 1949, our hero, at the age of 32, went to Mexico to seek his fortune. His wife's uncle lived there. Having got a job at Grupo Modelo, the largest beer producer, he began to quickly move up the career ladder. In 1971, he was already in top management, and all the founders of the corporation listened to his opinion.

Corona beer, under the leadership of Antonio Fernandez, has grown from a local producer to a recognizable global brand, and he became CEO. Managing the company until 2005, the billionaire retired from business only at the age of 88.

The main feature of Antonio Fernandez was that wealth did not eat him up from the inside. The fact is that he bequeathed 200 million euros to the residents of his Spanish village, where he was once born and raised. This wonderful man had no children, so management of the company passed to his nephew. But he decided to give such an extraordinary gift to his former fellow villagers.

Villagers tell how shocked they were when they learned that they became millionaires overnight. Each of them received more than 2 million euros, which can ensure their comfortable existence for the rest of their lives.

In general, it is known that Antonio Fernandez was very involved in charity work both in his native Spain and in Mexico, where he lived for more than half a century. Having died at the age of 99, he became a symbol of kindness and true nobility. Such life stories show that not all humanity is lost among extremely rich people.

When a real billionaire makes millionaires the entire village in which he was once born, it makes one admire the nobility and genuine kindness of a real benefactor.

The amazing fate of Violet Jessop

This is an interesting and amazing story about the life of a woman who came out unharmed from mortal danger three times; she survived sea accidents three times.

Violet was born into a family of Irish immigrants in Argentina. She was destined for an extraordinary fate, and this became clear even in childhood.

She was the first surviving child, as the three older children died very early. As a child, Violet Jessop was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and the doctor left no chance for life, since the situation was too serious. However, she survived, and after the death of her father, the whole family moved to the UK, where Violet began her career as an air hostess.

At the age of 23, a young and promising girl worked on board the famous giant ship Olympic, which was practically a copy of the Titanic. But in 1911, the Olympic collided with another ship at sea. Having received a 14-meter hole, the ship miraculously survived, and Violet Jessop successfully survived the first disaster in her life.

A year later, our heroine goes to work on the Titanic. Her friends said that she did not want to go there, but they convinced her that it was very promising for her future career. On the night of April 15, the liner suffered a shipwreck, which became one of the most notorious disasters of the twentieth century. But flight attendant Violet Jessop, along with some other employees, again managed to escape. In boat No. 16 they waited for rescuers and saved their lives.

Violet herself writes in her memoirs that when she got into the boat, some officer handed her a small child, with whom she was saved. When they boarded the ship Carpathia, which came to the aid of the Titanic, a woman ran up to her and, without saying a word, snatched the child from her arms and disappeared with him into the crowd. It was probably his mother, who was scared to death. It would seem that the second warning should have made the girl think about changing jobs. But it was not there!

During the First World War, Violet Jessop became a nurse on the HMS Britannic. In 1916, the ship hit a German mine and began to sink. During the process of evacuating passengers, when the first two boats were launched and loaded with people, they suddenly fell into the whirlpool of the Britannic sinking under the water.

Not thinking of giving up, Violet Jessop jumped out of the boat and was saved, although more than 20 people were pulled under the propeller of the sinking ship, where they died. In her memoirs, she says that after this tragic story she developed severe headaches, and she was forced to see a doctor, who discovered a crack in her skull. +After these three maritime accidents, the thrice-surviving flight attendant worked on passenger airliners for more than 40 years and even traveled around the world twice.

Interestingly, Violet Jessop was one of the passengers on the Titanic who heard the hymn “Nearer My God to Thee” sung on the sinking ship.

Having lived for 83 years, she died peacefully in England.

Incredible luck in one person's life

This story is about an Australian man named Bill Morgan and the amazing events of luck that happened in his life.

In 1999, he was 37 years old and working as a truck driver. Everything would have been fine if our hero had not gotten into a serious car accident. At the hospital, professional doctors fought for his life, but Bill's heart stopped. It would seem that the story has come to an end, and there is nothing more to talk about. But it was not there!

After 14 minutes, Bill Morgan began to respond to the actions of the resuscitators and came to his senses. In reality, such clinical death, as a rule, cannot last more than 15 minutes. In a word, just a little more, and Bill would have left our world forever.

So, the heart began to beat, but Morgan ended up in a coma. This went on for 12 whole days. Then he came to his senses and recovered very quickly, which was an extreme surprise for the medical staff of the hospital, who had seen everything.

Of course, after such a story, Bill decided to “give up” with cargo transportation, and in general, quit his job as a driver. Finding something else to do, he proposed to his beloved woman, who gave him a positive answer.

Everything happened as if in a dream. First a terrible accident, then clinical death, then coma and finally recovery. Now Australian Bill Morgan is starting a family and looks incredibly happy. Indeed, luck is evident!

In honor of the upcoming celebration, our lucky guy decides to buy himself a lottery ticket. And what? He wins a car, which costs about 18 thousand dollars. And this, in the late 90s, was a fairly large amount for Australia.

Knowing about the events that Bill had to endure in the recent past, journalists decide to interview someone who is incredibly lucky in life. Before filming, the reporter asks Morgan to buy a lottery ticket on camera and exclaim that he won a car. They say this will be an interesting report. No sooner said than done!

The cameramen begin filming, and Australian Bill Morgan comes to the window and buys a real lottery ticket. A journalist is standing right there, waiting for the agreed upon phrase, but instead he sees Bill’s changed face, who quietly says: “I won 250 thousand dollars”! Not understanding what’s going on, the journalist clarifies what happened, and Morgan repeats: “I’m not joking at all and I really won this amount of money.”

Of course, the filmers were in real shock, but the material for the report was truly sensational. Just think, such incredible luck in a short period of time! Mr. Morgan immediately called his fiancee and told her that they would now buy the house they had long dreamed of. The future wife, when interviewed, said: “I hope that my dear husband did not squander all his luck in these lotteries, and we will live happily ever after.”

These are the incredible stories of amazing luck that happen in life.

17th century French document

This story could be classified as an anecdote. However, documents are a harsh thing.

And this document has survived to this day, although it dates back to the 17th century. It tells about an incident that happened to the French Cardinal d'Armagnac in 1654.

And this is what happened: one day the cardinal, walking down the street, noticed an 80-year-old man who was crying. Approaching him, he asked what was the matter. In response, the 80-year-old old man told an amazing story. It turns out that he was crying because his 113-year-old father beat him for disrespecting his 143-year-old grandfather. Can you imagine?

This document and this case are repeatedly described in various research papers on genetics.

How often do you come across unusual people in your life? Do you often see amazing things or witness paranormal phenomena? Most likely, like us, no. But today is exactly that rare case. Read more...

Miracles, anomalies, unusual creatures - all this and much more attracts human attention. Scientists name reasons that are completely different from each other. Some insist that in this way a person affirms his true high existence, the only correct and thorough rational education, without flaws or deviations. Others talk about satisfying curiosity, inquisitiveness, which, in turn, also originates in the depths of the subconscious. Well, today let us adhere to the fact that a person, interested in the mysteries of this world, strives for its knowledge and new discoveries.

Now let's ask ourselves a question: how often do you witness paranormal phenomena in your life? Most likely no. Most often we have to read about such anomalies, watch videos, and so on. Of course, we will not be able to provide you with the opportunity to see with your own eyes all those whom we will talk about, but we will tell you all the most amazing things. So, here are 8 of the 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 does not undergo changes from the extremely low temperature for the human body. He even put nine world records.

In 2000, Wim Hof ​​swam 57.5 meters in 61 seconds. 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 was wearing only warm leggings and knee socks.

In 2006 he conquered Mont Blanc wearing only shorts! The following year, he tried to conquer the dream of all climbers - Everest, but he was prevented ... by frostbite on his toes, since he again climbed the mountain in only his 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 wearing shorts. His route took him beyond the Arctic Circle in Finland, where the snow temperature did not exceed 35 degrees below zero.

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

For scientists, the Dutchman remains an unsolved mystery. Many believe that Vim has such an innate ability, but the latter denies this in every possible way. In many interviews, Hof says that this is only the result of hard training of body and spirit. But when asked about revealing the secret, “The Ice Man” remains silent. One day 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 training, endurance and fortitude, which can only be envied and admired.

2. The Boy Who Never Sleeps

Have you often been overcome by the desire to get rid of the need for sleep? It would seem that this is just a waste of time, and in the end, every person, on average, spends one third of his life simply SLEEPING! But nevertheless, this turned out to be vital for the person himself: the fact is that insomnia over the course of a week activates irreversible consequences in the human body, and after two weeks death is inevitable.

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. A seemingly ordinary boy, he was born in 2006 into the family of Shannon and David Lamb. A constantly active and inquisitive child, like all children his age. But when the time comes for daytime and night sleep, he still remains an active and awake tomboy. He is already seven years old, but he still hasn’t slept a wink!

This boy stumped the best doctors in the world who had the opportunity to examine him. No one has been able to explain this deviation. But over time, it became clear 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 Rhett’s cerebellum is pinched in the very place that is responsible for sleep and the normal functioning and renewal of the body.

Today we have only been able to establish this unusual diagnosis, which does not bode well, but there is no sign of evil yet. So we will consider that the boy is even lucky - how much he can do in his life, accomplish new things!

3. Girl allergic to water

Man, as you know, consists of 80% water. Our life activity is connected with water like nothing else. This is our source of life, health, harmony. But imagine if you are allergic to water! How many of the usual processes associated with this life-giving liquid will be suspended?

It is this kind of illness that Ashley Morris, a girl from Australia who is allergic to water, has to put up with and get along with. Imagine that she endures discomfort even when she sweats! And the most depressing thing is that this pathology is not congenital.

Until the age of 14, the girl lived and enjoyed life like an ordinary Australian teenager. And then she fell ill with seemingly ordinary tonsillitis. Then the doctors prescribed her medications with large amounts of penicillin. It was large doses of this antibiotic that awakened the allergy to water.

This is an extremely rare disease that affects only about five people in the world, including Ashley. Life doesn't end there, and Morris shows an even greater zest for life. Despite the fact that she is strictly forbidden to come into contact with water for more than a minute (neither you take a bath or shower, nor a swimming pool), she discovered some of the delights of this state. Her boyfriend, taking care of her in every possible way, protects his beloved from washing dishes and laundry! Ashley also pampers herself with new acquisitions using the money she saves on swimsuits and bath accessories.

4. The Girl Who Can Only Eat Tic Tacs

And again, remember your childhood desire to eat only sweets and chewing gum... Unfortunately, Natalie Cooper, an eighteen-year-old Englishwoman, has long forgotten about these dreams. She would love to eat bacon and eggs or pumpkin soup, but her stomach won't. The girl can only eat Tic-Tac mints.

Doctors examined the girl many times and did not find any pathologies in the stomach or throughout the digestive tract. But for inexplicable reasons the girl gets sick from everything except 2-calorie pills.

And yet Natalie has to eat, because otherwise her body will not receive energy, which will lead to the inevitable. Doctors have designed special tubes through which Natalie’s body receives the daily dose of vitamins, minerals and other useful substances directly.

Because of this, the girl can neither work nor study, as she is constantly dependent on this procedure, but her family and friends do not lose hope. Natalie herself dreams of going to university in the future, getting a good job and eating more than just the already hated pills.

5. The musician who constantly hiccups

Exactly! You can imagine how funny this is, but still unfortunate. Chris Sands is 25 years old, a successful young musician who, leading an active lifestyle, did not even suspect that such an unusual fate awaited him.

It started in 2006 when he had hiccups for about a week, but soon stopped. But in February of the following year she returned almost forever! Since then, the guy has been hiccupping every two seconds.

Doctors say that this looks like a violation of the gastric valve, which is not yet possible to restore.

6. A woman with an allergy to hi-tech

And this is simply a brilliant solution for parents if their children cannot tear themselves away from computers, phones and TVs. But no matter how funny it is, Englishwoman Debbie Bird is not laughing at all. The fact is that she has a pronounced allergy to all kinds of electromagnetic fields (any close contact with technology instantly causes a rash and swelling of the eyelids in the girl).

Having become accustomed to such an illness, Debbie and her husband find some advantages: for example, they will protect their health from the harmful effects of electronics, and they will be able to devote the time saved on all kinds of watching movies, TV series, playing games on the phone, chatting, etc. each other.

7. The girl who faints when she laughs

Here's the problem: you can't even tell her a joke, and noisy company is not for her. Kay Underwood loses consciousness even when she's angry, scared, or surprised. She jokingly says that people, having learned about this peculiarity of hers, immediately try to make her laugh, and then, for a long time, not believing that the lifeless girl lying in front of them fainted. Kay says that somehow she is whole I lost consciousness 40 times a day!

On top of that, the girl is narcoleptic, which is no longer uncommon in the UK, where more than 30 thousand people suffer from this disease. This means that a person can fall asleep at any second of your life. In general, Kay has a hard time, so enjoy every opportunity to laugh without consequences at a good joke.

8. A woman who never forgets anything

How would we need such an ability at school or university - a truly brilliant anomaly!

Jill Price, an American, is endowed with an extraordinary ability - she remembers everything, absolutely everything that happened in her life, all her events. The woman is 42 years old, and if you ask her what happened to her on this very day twenty years ago, she will tell everything in such detail as if it happened five minutes ago.
A scientist from the University of California even gave a special name to this phenomenon - hyperthymestic syndrome, which translated from Greek means “supermemory”.

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

Jill Price herself began writing books, where she mentions long days of depression due to the fact that she cannot forget the bad things that happened to her.
But she also admits that she could not refuse such an ability.
