Show host: TV presenter and producer Alexander Gurevich
For all times, the crowns of nature have accumulated many amazing stories about themselves. Some of them are truly frightening, others are alarming, and still others amaze and even inspire to accomplishments. 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 life of people side by side with wild animals, the story of Marina can be considered almost the canonical embodiment of the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs about Tarzan into reality.
Chapman, then a little 5-year-old girl, entered the Columbian jungle in the 50s of the last century. She ended up in impassable forests because she was kidnapped, and then, for some reason, unknown men left there. Soon the baby was found by a flock of monkeys. Its representatives began to show a mild interest in a larger, but still similar to them individual. The girl quickly got used to and became in her community: she began to move on all fours, steal food, look for fleas from herself and, if possible, make some sounds.
After 5 years, Marina accidentally betrayed herself to poachers, who immediately decided to make money on young creation money and send her to a brothel. However, due to her age, Chapman performed only the work of a servant there. Then the girl's bitter lot continued with beatings and imprisonment in the mafiosi's house, where she found herself after escaping from a brothel. Soon justice was done, and Mowgli found kind people... One of the women became a foster mother for her.
Today Marina lives in Bradford, UK with her husband and children. She again mastered human speech and even learned to be a chef. However, an amazing story from her life still reminds of herself. For example, Chapman can still confidently walk on all fours, climb trees and give a hard fight.
Bird baby
The next amazing story from life will also be devoted to the baby, but it is no longer 50, but 280-odd years away from the present. In 1735, the German Schmidt family from the small town of Tauch was preparing for the birth of 4 children. 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 they bring with them ...
The baby that appeared combined the features of a human and a chicken. The strangeness of the phenomenon was intensified also because all the previous offspring of the couple were completely normal and healthy. Gottlieb Friderici, who published the work "The Rare Human Monster", once undertook to explain this amazing case - it was he who alcoholized the baby's body, 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 clerovid skull shape, absence of auricles, an underdeveloped lower jaw, an abnormal heart and long fingers ending in claws. Scientists managed to establish only the sex of the bird-child, who brought another riddle to this life - it was a girl.
Three-eyed patient
Some amazing incidents in life can bring the main actors a lot of inconveniences. For example, once in China, doctors discovered a 25-year-old man with 3 eyes. For all the time, humanity has encountered such precedents only 3 times.
An additional eye, uncharacteristic for ordinary people, was located at young man on the temple on the left side. The eye included all the necessary elements: the eyelid, pupil, lacrimal gland and even the brow ridge. But he also had one significant drawback - he saw absolutely nothing, and also significantly impaired the vision of his "partners".
Blood that conquers poison
Next amazing and incredible story will also be associated with inexplicable features of the human body, but in this case, you will need to move to India. Today Singh Abu lives here, earning the nickname "Lord of the Serpents", although he could also be christened "Lord of Death". The fact is that this man experimentally found out: the bites of crawling dangerous worms not only do not kill him, but even make him stronger!
Studies have found that Indian blood has an unusual composition that breaks down poison and then turns it into beneficial nutrients. It is truly amazing, but the fluid circulating in the circulatory system of the Serpent Lord does not belong to any group known today (0, A, B, AB). Singh Abu decided to turn a lucky chance into business and make a living on his uniqueness: at the moment he shows people performances where he walks barefoot on a creeping floor and performs various tricks with them.
Tears made of plastic
And here is another story, which is considered one of the most amazing not only in North Africa, where the girl-phenomenon of Khanum lives, but throughout the world. How many people have cried at least once in their lives? Many, of course. However, the main character of this story is not familiar with tears in the usual sense.
The baby grew up as a capricious and obedient child, so her parents did not immediately notice her feature. Only when the girl grew up so much that she was able to help her mother with the housework, the couple realized how much she was different from the rest. Once Khanuma was cutting an onion, when suddenly grains hard, like beads, fell from her eyes. An amazing case would have remained the property of the North African family if its head had not decided to use beautiful and well-cut crystals in his jewelry work. Stories about beautiful jewelry began to pass from buyer to buyer until the item was purchased by an interested researcher. He found out that the main element, namely the tears of Khanuma, is special kind plastics, 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 Khanuma in real life. They harden already on the eyelashes, do not stick to the skin, do not spoil the eyesight and do not cause pain.
Funny incidents and coincidences
Among the most amazing stories from life are not only those that can cause confusion, but also those that make you just smile. Here is some of them:
- After landing on the lunar surface in 1969, American Neil Armstrong immediately uttered the phrase: "I wish you success, Mr. Gorski!" Once, while still a boy, the future astronaut witnessed a quarrel between a couple living nearby. In the course of the showdown, Mrs. Gorsky blurted out that it is more likely that the neighbor's little girl flies to the moon than her husband can satisfy the woman.
- A phenomenal incident happened in 1965 in a village in Scotland. Residents gathered at a local cinema in order to enjoy the film "Around the World in 80 Days." At the moment when the shot showed the dispatch of the balloon and the chopping off of the rope, the audience heard a crash. It turned out that exactly the same ship landed on the roof!
- In 1966, a 4-year-old boy named Roger Lozier 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, returned the debt to the savior, and it was in the same place that he saved the man who turned out to be her husband from death.
Daniel Tammet, an autist from Great Britain, has difficulty speaking, does not distinguish between left and right, does not know how to insert a plug into a socket, but at the same time easily carries out the most complex mathematical calculations in his mind.
“I represent numbers as visual images. They have color, structure, shape, - says Tammet. - Number sequences appear in my mind as landscapes. Like pictures. It is as if the universe with its fourth dimension appears in my head. "
Daniel knows by heart 22,514 digits following the decimal point in pi and speaks eleven languages: English, French, Finnish, German, Estonian, Spanish, Romanian, Icelandic (learned in 7 days), Lithuanian (he prefers him), Welsh and in Esperanto.
Batman
A young man from Sacramento, California, Ben Underwood, was born a perfectly healthy child, but his eyes were surgically removed due to retinal cancer at the age of three. However, Ben continued to live the full life of a sighted person.
The studies of doctors showed that the boy's hearing did not sharpen, as compensation for the loss of vision - he has the hearing of an ordinary average person - just Ben's brain learned to translate sounds into visual information, which makes the young man look like bat or a dolphin - it is capable of capturing an echo, and based on this echo, determine the exact location of objects.
Gutta-percha boy
Daniel Smith, a five-time Guinness record gutta-percha man from the United States, began twisting his body at the age of four, believing that he was not doing anything special. But soon Daniel realized what talent he possesses, and at the age of 18 he ran away from home with a circus troupe.
Since then, the "rubber man" has participated in many circus and acrobatic performances, basketball and baseball games, was a guest on most famous television shows and programs. Among them: Men in Black 2, HBO's Carnivale, CSI: NY, and others.
The most flexible person living today does incredible things with his body: he easily crawls through a hole in a tennis racket and through a toilet seat, and also knows how to curl up into incredible knots and compositions, and move his heart along his chest. Doctors believe that incredible flexibility was given to Daniel from birth, but he himself pushed it to the maximum possible limit.
Metal eater
We have already written about this man more than once.
Frenchman Michael Lotito (Michel Lotito), born in 1950, discovered his amazing abilities at the age of 9 - scaring his parents to death, he ate the TV. From 16 he began to entertain people for money, eating metal, glass, rubber. Interestingly, Lotito's body never showed any side effects, even when the food eaten contained toxic substances.
Usually the object is disassembled into pieces, cut into pieces, and Lotito swallows them with water. The omnivorous Michael, nicknamed "Monsieur Eat It All", got into the Guinness Book of Records for having eaten the Cessna-150 plane. He ate it for two whole years - from 1978 to 1980 - consuming about a kilogram of aircraft a day.
The last X-ray showed that there were still pieces of metal left in Lotito's body. And he has not died yet only because the walls of his stomach are twice as thick as those of the average person.
Tooth king
Radhakrishnan Velu, known as the "Tooth King", also possesses a rare ability. This Malaysian practices tug of vehicles with his teeth.
On August 30, 2007, on the eve of Malaysia's 50th Independence Day, this man broke his own record by dragging a train with his own teeth.
This time the train consisted of 6 cars and weighed 297 tons. Harikrishnan managed to push the train 2.8 meters.
Velcro man
Liew Thow Lin is a human magnet. At 70, Harikrishnan's compatriot Velu managed to drag a car through with an iron chain attached to an iron plate on his stomach.
Liv Tou Lin considers the ability to attract metal objects to be hereditary, since his 3 sons and 2 grandchildren are also endowed with the same amazing and incredible gift.
Scientists, meanwhile, are trying to explain this phenomenon to no avail: there is no magnetic field around the Malaysian, and his skin is all right.
Sleepless man
Thai Ngoc, a 64-year-old Vietnamese, has forgotten what sleep is after he got a fever in 1973. It was since then that Ty stopped sleeping. And on this moment has not slept for 37 years, which is more than 13,500 sleepless nights.
“I don’t know how insomnia affects my health,” he says, “but I’m quite healthy and can manage the house just as well as others.” As proof, Ngoc mentions that he carries two 50-kilogram bags of fertilizer a few kilometers from home every day.
And during the medical examination, the doctors did not find any diseases in the Vietnamese, except for minor abnormalities in the liver.
King of torture
Tim Cridland is a painless person. Back in school, the "King of Torture" amazed classmates when, without batting an eye, he pierced his hands with needles and painlessly withstood any heat and cold.
And today Tim is showing horrifying things to large audiences across America. To do this, he had to study anatomy for a long time. After all, when the admiring eyes of the audience look at you, safety is above all.
Scientific studies have shown that Tim has a much higher pain limit than the average person. Otherwise, he is no different from ordinary people. Including - the degree of damage caused when piercing the body with hairpins, as well as the chance of death with these injuries.
Cat man
Kevin Richardson (Kevin Richardson), relying on instinct, is friends with the family of cats, only not domestic, but predatory. Without the slightest fear for his life, Kevin can spend the night with the lions.
Cheetahs and leopards, capable of tearing a person apart in a split second, if they wish, take the biologist for their own. Even unpredictable hyenas are so used to Kevin that a female hyena, for example, allows him to pick up newborn babies.
“I rely on intuition to weigh my chances when dealing with animals. I will never get close to the beast if I feel that something is wrong, - says Richardson. “I don’t use sticks, whips or chains, only patience. It's dangerous, but for me it's a passion, not a job. "
Pop-eyed
Claudio Pinto from the city of Belo Horizonte is better known as a man with bulging eyes, because he is able to bulge his eyes 4 cm, that is, 95% of the eye orbits.
Pinto has gone through many medical examinations, and doctors say they have never seen a person who can do this with their eyes before.
“It's a pretty easy way to make money. I can goggle 4 centimeters - it's a gift from God, and I feel happy,” says Claudio.

Primary school teacher using mnemonic techniques Svetlana Belichenko during the test, she must memorize the meaning and location of 196 hieroglyphs in two minutes. The girl is mistaken, but on the whole gives many correct answers, despite the fact that she only "touched a little bit" on Japanese.
The video of Svetlana's performance has collected almost 1.5 million views on YouTube.
Five-year-old Vika Alieva scored exactly twice as many - 3 million views. She herself calls herself a "cool mathematician." During the test, in a matter of seconds, she correctly adds numbers in her mind, which very quickly replace each other on the screen. Then the task becomes more difficult: the girl is asked to read a rhyme and count at the same time. She copes with that too!
In the comments, adults write that after watching the video they sharply doubted whether they deservedly received their "A" in mathematics at school.
Magic World: it's even a shame that a 5 year old child knows math better than you :( :(
Fatima Shuppe_: and then I realized that the A's in mathematics are false. After all, I can't think 4 + 28, but here it is at 5 years old ..
The participants demonstrated not only mental but also physical abilities in the show. Oksana Sytova had to blindly, from memory, repeat the plastic sketches fixed on the blades of a huge carousel - and she coped with all the figures, except one!
5 million people watched Oksana's speech on YouTube. In the comments under the video, many viewers accused the creators of the show that it was all a production: the gymnast could not know in which direction the carousel would spin, but she immediately took the correct pose:
Giz Gizov: she didn’t even ask which direction the blades would start spinning and took a pre-rehearsed pose
Olga Bykova: How does she know the rotation speed?
play game: She can see through this bandage!
