Unusual people of the world have always attracted attention, and it is worth noting that strange abilities are often found, but some cases are unique and they have gone down in history. As that very story testifies, “masterpieces of nature” have been encountered throughout the existence of mankind, and many strange abilities cannot be rationally explained, but they exist, and I want to know more about them. So what are they.
Most flexible person
The most flexible person on the planet knows how to unrealistically twist his body. His name is Daniel Browning.
He began to get out at the age of three, but at first he thought that this was the norm, and only after a while he discovered that only he and his talent could be applauded.
When Daniel turned 18, he joined a circus troupe after running away from home. Today, the guy makes a living doing tricks in which he "turns inside out." He can twist every bone of his body, contrary to the laws of anatomy and common sense. He can easily climb into a box, squeeze into a tennis racket without a net, stand on the back of his hands, and even ... move his heart across his chest.
Scientists believe that the guy had such flexibility from birth, but he did it with his own efforts.
magnet man
A living magnet named Liv Tou Lin is 70 years old. He became famous for being able to drag a car with an iron chain, which he attached to an iron plate on his stomach.
The ability to attract metal, according to the hero himself, was inherited, since his sons and two grandsons have the same abilities. Even scientists cannot give an explanation for this strange phenomenon: the Malaysian's skin is all right, and there is no magnetic field around him.
Feeling no pain
Tim Cridland doesn't know what it's like to be in physical pain. As a schoolboy, he had already begun to surprise his classmates with ruthless tricks, piercing his hand with needles, and easily endured cold and heat.
Today, Cridland performs terrifying stunts in front of America's millions of people, impaling himself with spears. This has already gone down in history, Tim proudly bears the status of the most "painless" person on the planet.
In order to improve his talent and learn how to perform crazy tricks, Tim had to delve into anatomy, because when admiring glances are on you, safety comes first.
Repeated studies have proven that a man has a significantly higher pain threshold than an average static person. Moreover, his body is resistant to damage, and even piercing himself with hairpins, the probability of death is minimal.
Foreteller Nostradamus
Although Nostradamus lived in the 15th century, every person in the 21st century knows him. Initially, the predictor sought himself in various sciences, having made a significant contribution to the field of pharmaceuticals, including from the plague.
Around the age of 50, Nostradamus felt he could see the future. The first prediction was the death of the king - everything came true quickly and exactly as predicted.
Since then, this great man has predicted many events that have come true, as if according to the scheme. Surprisingly, even Nostradamus prophesied his own death and told his friends about it. Most of the predictions outlived their creator for several centuries ahead and do not cease to be interpreted today.
Hypnotist and telepath Wolf Messing
It's no secret that there have been unusual people at all times, but for now, such as Wolf Messing. He was an incredible man and a great hypnotist. Calling himself a telepath, he collected huge halls and held performances. Very soon the authorities noticed him, and even Stalin checked Messing "for lice", and I must say that the telepath passed the test. The “Leader” set him a difficult task: in broad daylight to rob a bank and calmly exit using only his abilities. Wolf Messing did an excellent job, after which there was a rumor about his incredible power to inspire and read minds.
Vanga - the great seer
The Bulgarian healer and seer Vanga is of the 20th century, and it is impossible not to mention this woman. She healed people from incurable diseases, and saw the future, although she was blind. Vanga explained her gift very simply: when a person stood in front of her, dead relatives gathered around him, asked questions and willingly answered her. And the seer simply transmitted information to the living. Amazing, isn't it?
Sinh-Abu - Lord of the snakes
The most unusual people are not only those who can predict the future. For example, the talent of our next hero is that he is not afraid of even the most terrible and poisonous snakes. And the point is not at all in the character, but in the features of his body.
Previously, Singh-Abu was an employee of the terrarium, where he was bitten by a cobra and ... the bite did not affect his health at all, but any other person could die!
As medical examinations showed, Singh Abu's blood does not belong to any of the four blood groups! Moreover, its composition is so unique that in the body snake venom is divided into substances that are absorbed by the human body.
Frank White - knows everything about time
This is a clock man, so in real life, for the past 50 years, he has done just fine without them. Frank guesses the time down to seconds, and always hits the mark. Even at night, if you wake him up abruptly and ask about the time, he will name everything with accuracy. These are such living biological clocks, and now they are in our history!
Prahlad Jani - a person who feeds on the "holy spirit"
Until the age of seven, Prahlad was no different from his peers, but then something happened that shocked everyone, including doctors. The thing is that the boy stopped drinking and eating. His state of health at the same time was absolutely normal, the body developed as expected.
Scientists and physicians became interested in such an incredible phenomenon of the world, and, having found no deviations, they were seriously surprised.
Today, a man with such incredible abilities is already 90 years old, he leads a solitary life and feels very well, so eating and drinking nothing. According to Jani, he feeds on the "divine heavenly elixir".

Conclusion
Here are the most unusual ones. They changed our worldview, and some were able to predict the future. Today, the heroes of our article become the heroes of films and TV shows, but the main thing is that they proved to everyone how unique a person can be. To know that there are such unusual people among us is at least interesting! Read all the most interesting things in the world only at Barfika!
The diversity of this world is impressive, one has only to look at how many strange and diverse people there are on the planet. This review offers a brief story about unusual people. Some have become so by the will of nature, others have transformed themselves, but, one way or another, they deserve some attention in order to study the history of these people.
Akshat Saxen

A boy from India named Akshat Saxen is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most polydactyl man in the world. The total number of fingers and toes is 34, while there are no thumbs on all limbs. The child has 7 fingers on each hand, and 10 on the feet. The boy's disease is known to science and is called polydactyly, but this is the first case in the world. The doctors decided to perform a series of operations on the child to remove extra fingers and form thumbs out of some. So the boy has every opportunity to become like everyone else.
Pascual Pinon
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Pascual Pinon
In 1889, a man was born in Mexico who is deservedly called the two-headed wonder of the world. This man became famous thanks to his second head. This head was very similar to his "main" head and was located directly on it. The second head could blink and move its lips, but it could not speak or breathe. It happened that Pascual abused alcohol, the upper head protested against this and began to spit and drool. Sometimes she moved her lips, as if trying to say something, but those around her could not understand her, and Pascual flatly refused to decipher these messages.
Pascual Pinon spent a lot of time in the mine. He was kept on a leash in one of the rooms and fed. People believed that Pascual was the son of Satan, and Satan would not want to destroy his child and would not destroy the mine. Rumors about the existence of a two-headed man reached the impresario John Scheidler, and he decided that Pinon would perfectly complement his circus Chapiteau and bring huge profits. His search was long and tedious. The people whom John asked about Pinon claimed that they did not understand who he was talking about and looked at him angrily. When the impresario was already desperate to find Pascual, a white albatross appeared in the sky, which seemed to show the way. John Scheidler took the albatross as a sign. He went to the mine where Pascual Pinon was being held. By some miracle, he persuaded the people who kept the captive on a leash to release the two-headed man to freedom. And since then, Pinon worked in the circus.
All Scheidler's expectations were justified: with the advent of Pascual, the profit from the circus increased. Pinon, in turn, enjoyed speaking in public. He was very proud of his ugliness and was very fond of his second head. However, there were cases when Pascual suddenly broke down and ran away before the performance, refusing to perform. Then the leadership of the circus persuaded and cajoled him as best they could, and the two-headed man returned and performed again. Later, Pinon completely abandoned performances in the circus.
Khagendra Tapa Magar
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Khagendra Tapa Magar
He is currently the smallest person in the world. His birth weight was only about 60 grams, and now (when he is an adult) Khagendra weighs only about 5 kilograms.
However, the smallest person in the world has a very important position in society, he is part of a dance group and participates in various theatrical performances. He is also invited to various programs and shootings. Therefore, Tapa Magar managed to earn a very normal capital on his own natural features.
Sultan Kosen
It would be logical to say about the biggest man in the world. Of course, there are more records, but now the tallest man in the world is this Turkish farmer, whose body length is 251 centimeters. By the way, he met with the smallest person - Khagendra Tapa.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Sultan Kosen
Now Kosen is a celebrity and often participates in various shootings. His tall stature requires occasional use of a cane to facilitate walking.
Michelle Lotito
This man also managed to transform his own natural feature into a profitable business. Michel from a young age had deviations in eating behavior. In addition, as it turned out, he had thick walls of the intestines and stomach, they allowed him to eat almost any object and substance.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Michelle Lotito
Thus, the Frenchman began to take advantage of the opportunity to eat anything. Such performances were popular. For this period, this eater left the mortal world, but the cause of his death was not at all extreme culinary experiments, but more banal reasons.
Hai Ngoc
It is much more difficult for this person to convert his own peculiarity into any benefit, except for reading more books or watching various TV shows. Ngok was seriously ill in 1973 and stopped sleeping after that, a fact that has been confirmed but has not yet been fully explored.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Hai Ngoc
As you know, people without sleep can normally exist for about a week, but for this person his peculiarity does not create any significant difficulties. Regarding normal existence in such a regime, various hypotheses can be put forward. For example, a variant with a microsleep, when a person sleeps during conscious wakefulness with small breaks that take literally seconds, while the person continues to exist normally and feel himself.
Chahat Kumar
This little Indian girl looks cute (like most babies pictured) and weird. The baby from the Indian state of Punjab is about a year old, but weighs about 17 kilograms (recall readers, birth weight, as a rule, is no more than 4 kilograms) and continues to increase. The young creature has some kind of anomaly that causes an irrepressible appetite, and therefore adults need to feed the voracious Chahat, and she continues to get fat.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Chahat Kumar
In fact, the story is somewhat sad, because due to overweight, it is difficult for the baby to sleep and move. Although Indian doctors are trying to find out the diagnosis and help, Chahat's relatives consider this anomaly to be some kind of divine intervention and, on the whole, are quite loyal to the situation. Hindus generally tend to treat everything with amazing calmness and even joy, including childhood obesity.
Martina Big
Most likely, the girl uses a pseudonym, which very directly alludes to her impressive forms. Martina is the owner of a chest volume of about 127 centimeters in girth, although her waist is only 68 centimeters. Since 2012, the girl began the transformation of her own body, made a facial plastic surgery, increased the size of her breasts with the help of a special solution, thanks to which her breasts became really huge and incomprehensible.
In addition, Martina makes herself special injections that make her skin darker. Now the girl from Germany looks almost black.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Martina Big
In fact, this story is also sad. Martin's relatives died in 2010, and she was left alone with her husband (who worked with her in an airline and was a pilot, and she was a flight attendant), who needed to leave work after some time. Martina herself was also unable to continue working as a flight attendant, since flights and breast implants are mutually exclusive parameters.
As the girl herself says, the dark skin color reminds her of her father, with whom she once rested on the beach and he was very tanned, his skin became dark. After that, she began to associate this color and tan with her loved one. Although this fact also does not prevent Martina from calling herself a representative of the black race, such a change of worldview.
Now the girl works as a glamor model and is very popular. In addition to her native Germany, she also often travels to Los Angeles for filming.
Allegra Cole
Continuing the theme of large breasts, it should be noted this girl, who has a considerable number of followers on Instagram and at least 34 breast sizes, that is, she surpasses Martina Big in her parameters. Allegra does not aspire to be black, but wants to continue to increase her own bust, which looks just gigantic. The girl is a model, but at the same time she cannot be called stupid or primitive.
From a young age, she was brought up in the Mormon community and had high achievements in music, thanks to which she began to teach piano. Over time, Allegra stopped liking such a career and she took up breast augmentation, thanks to which she became a popular model. Photos of the girl are very popular, although the forms clearly look anatomically incorrect and atypical.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Allegra Cole
It is likely that such a cult of large breasts goes back to the ancient fertility cults that were common among primitive people. After all, one of the most popular fossil artifacts of the pre-human period is the so-called Paleolithic Venuses - figurines of women with huge breasts and hips, which hint at primitive ideas about the ideal of fertility (in a symbolic sense) and the ideal female body. Oddly enough, but after millennia, such images continue to disturb the minds of people and are perfectly converted into popularity and finance.
Winnie Oh
A very interesting character, who very logically appeared in California. The land of free morals inspired the young guy with the idea of becoming a completely asexual creature similar to an alien, which he, in fact, strives for, investing significant funds in numerous operations.
It would be better to give money to the poor - the reader will say, and there really is a reason for this. However, Vinnie's intentions should not be considered pampering, he is very serious and even turned to doctors for advice on removing his own penis (by the way, he also wants to get rid of the nipples and navel), because Vinnie wants to have "there" just a flat surface. Agree, he treats the case in detail.
Karen Overhill
Americans often suffer from interesting mental illnesses, but Karen excels. 17 different personalities lived in this woman at once. The disease is called dissociative identity disorder and creates different personalities in a person, but such deviations as Karen had, forced her to live the biography of virtually different people, while the personalities did not remember each other.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Karen Overhill
As a result, the woman herself discovered in the “composition” of her own consciousness:
- two teenage girls;
- a boy under 10;
- three girls;
- a couple of 34 years old;
- woman aged 21;
- angry guy.
In total, 11 people were recruited from Karen herself, and psychiatrists helped to discover six more personalities. As a result, the woman was helped to get rid of the disease, as she later found out, each such personality was created in order to help her cope with various difficulties.
Hiroo Onoda
It is a unique example of samurai loyalty. The lieutenant served during the Second World War under the flag of Japan and fought in the Philippines, more precisely on the island of Lubang, where the training base was located. The young man was ordered not to surrender to anyone, but over time, his partisan detachment was practically destroyed.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Hiroo Onoda
Hiroo was discovered only thirty years later, after the end of the war, but he was not going to give up. As a result, it was necessary to involve his former boss, who had long ceased to be a military man and became a bookseller. Only after the commander ordered the lieutenant to end his service, Hiroo obeyed, and before that he continued to fight continuously, although it is not entirely clear how he fought and with whom.
Mitsuo Matayoshi and David Allen Bowden
These people should be grouped under one rubric, so to speak, since they are not particularly different from other people, apart from their own conviction of their divinity. For example, the Japanese Mitsuo Matayoshi considers himself nothing less than the real Lord and, moreover, organized his own party and created his own version of Christianity. He is a political activist, regularly participates in elections and offers followers his own view of eschatology (the doctrine of the end of time) in which, as you understand, his own figure is of considerable importance.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Mitsuo Matayoshi
David Allen Bowden, in turn, considers himself none other than the current Pope, and in this he is supported by his parents and three other followers. With such a small company, they, in fact, elected a new pontiff.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. David Allen Bowden
According to this group of Catholics, after 1958 there were no legitimate pontiffs in the Catholic Church, therefore Pope Michael (that is, David Allen Bowden) is the legally elected and current head of the church, and also, by the way, sinless, according to the teachings of the Catholics themselves.
Supatra Sasuphan
Many girls do not like regular shaving of their legs, epilation of other areas, but then they should be inspired by Supatra Sasupfan from Thailand. This girl has a strange genetic disease that causes the rapid growth of vegetation on the body, in particular on the face. Therefore, outwardly, Supatra may look like some kind of yeti.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Supatra Sasuphan
For many years, she put up with the title of the hairiest girl in the world, but relatively recently she met her chosen one and for his sake she began to regularly shave her own face. Now she looks quite normal, although she needs to shave more often than other women. This example once again points to the possibility for almost everyone in this world to find their soul mate, although women may need to use hair removal a little more often for this.
Zhang Ruifang
Many representatives of modern youth prefer such an option for transforming the body as creating artificial horns on the forehead. Perhaps they should seek advice from Zhang Ruifang, who lives in China.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Zhang Ruifang
This unremarkable woman has real horns on her forehead, one larger horn, the other smaller. The horns protrude directly from the forehead, are bony structures and very frankly allude to the popular images of various infernal entities. Zhang has not been seen dabbling in magic and summoning demons, no one can really explain why they have such horns.
Jasprit Singh Kalra
There are many people who claim to be the most flexible in the world. Nevertheless, Jasprit Singh's abilities look the most amazing, because, for example, he can rotate his head 180 degrees, and his other joints have great mobility and flexibility. At the same time, he is quite mature, that is, flexibility is not associated with a young age, which is often used in gymnastics or ballet.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Jasprit Singh Kalra
It is probably not surprising that such a person appeared in India, a country where the flexibility of yogis is passed down genetically from generation to generation. Jasprit Singh is not at all slender and looks like a physically developed young man.
Sadhu Amar Bharati
In continuation of the Indian theme, this saint (sadhu in Sanskrit and means a holy or righteous person) should be noted, who has been holding his right hand up for more than 40 years. Amar Bharati does not use this hand at all and his flesh has almost completely hardened and has become like some kind of stick.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Sadhu Amar Bharati
In fact, for India, such vows are not something strange. For example, at the Kubha Mela festival, you can see many such ascetics who have taken certain vows of humility. If we talk about Amara Bharati, then he once upon a time decided to make such a peculiar worship of Shiva and since then he has not given up.
Initially, it was difficult for him, the ascetic himself told about this. However, he humbly endured and kept his own vow. Over time, the hand froze and now does not particularly distract his attention, but is a symbol of perseverance and perseverance.
Lindsay Hamon
It should also be noted the ascetics of the Christian world, who can also inspire with their own perseverance. For example, Lindsay Hamon literally shouldered the cross in 1987. We are talking about a large cross made of cedar wood, on which it is quite possible to crucify.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Lindsay Hamon
The preacher carries (but in a sense rolls, because there is a small wheel on the back that makes it easier to carry this structure) his cross to different cities in order to tell people about Jesus. He spends about 12 hours a day on the move and preaching and rarely thinks about domestic comfort or lodging for the night. Lindsay has repeatedly seen a negative attitude towards himself, he was even (oddly enough) expelled from the Vatican in Rome, but he steadfastly continues to bring faith to people.
Jill Price
This woman from California has a unique memory property that can hardly be called a disease. In general, many people want to have a good memory, there are even special courses and techniques, but Jill Price, who lives in California, wants the exact opposite, because she cannot forget anything.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Jill Price
Jill remembers every day of her existence since the age of 12. Scientists gathered a symposium in order to confirm such a unique property of memory and they really noted Jill's ability to remember every event (the situation in the premises and other smallest details, even the programs that were on TV in the background) from her own biography, she literally cannot forget anything. This ability burdens a woman and she even asked scientists to invent some kind of "forgetful" pills or drugs.
Gary Matthews
For many people, saying "Hey you dog" will be offensive and not create a positive reaction, but not for the former technologist Gary, who for many years watched a cartoon about a stray dog named Boomer as a child.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Gary Matthews
Now this man considers himself to be a stray dog with an identical name and is trying his best to copy the behavior of typical dogs. By the way, before that, he had been fond of dogs for many years and really studied the habits of our four-legged friends. Gary wears a matching suit, urinates on bushes, and sleeps in a booth.
Azsacra Zarathustra
A unique representative of a tradition based on various Eastern teachings, Nietzscheanism and other ideologies that focus on the chanting and development of human power.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Azsacra Zarathustra
Azskara lives on the territory of the harsh city of Magnitogorsk and is very harsh on his own body, regularly performing various practices of mortifying the flesh. He is interesting for his close communication with various wild and dangerous animals, sleeps with poisonous snakes and birds of prey, tames wild animals and insects, allows them to bite him.
Alex Lenkey
This Englishman is especially unremarkable and is a simple citizen of the country, if not for his ability to persuade. Moreover, he knows how to convince for the most part himself, he has been practicing hypnosis since adolescence and managed to achieve considerable heights in this. He underwent at least two serious operations related to the impact on the bone apparatus (even a piece of bone was removed from the hand) and tissue cutting, and he did not use anesthesia and did not feel pain.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Alex Lenkey
Of course, here the corresponding question arises - why Alex could not hypnotize himself in such a way as not to get a hernia and osteoarthritis (it was for these diagnoses that he underwent surgery) - the question remains open. Nevertheless, Lenkei's abilities were tested not only on him, but at least on his son, whom the hypnotist helped to cope with pain after a broken arm.
One way or another, this Englishman's abilities are amazing during operations that lasted more than an hour, he was fully aware of himself, heard the surgeon, but did not feel pain, and then recovered normally.
Wim Hof
This person is also distinguished by the ability of complete self-control, or at least almost complete. The Dutchman studied and practiced meditation for many years, thanks to which he gained the ability to withstand extremely cold temperatures. In particular, Hof distinguished himself with such achievements as a record for the duration of stay in cold water, marathons barefoot in the snow and climbing Kilimanjaro in shorts.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Wim Hof
By the way, Wim's actions are not stupid bravado or just a high degree of patience, he really knows how to consciously control the processes in his own body. This fact was confirmed by scientists who noted the ability of the Dutchman to control his own nervous system and immune system reactions.
Nick Vujicic
The amazing story of this man relatively recently became known throughout the world, largely thanks to Nick himself, who now actively gives various seminars and talks about his own achievements. The peculiarity of this person lies in the almost complete absence of limbs, only where the right leg is anatomically located, he has a kind of limb in the form of a small stump. However, this fact did not prevent Vujicic from achieving a lot. Including learning to move independently (and by car too), swimming and other activities.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Nick Vujicic
Nick also managed to earn a very solid capital, start a family, gave birth to a son. He continues to travel the world and inspire other people to accomplish their own example.
Jose Mujica
In conclusion, I would like to note this unique person who does not differ in any anomalies of the body. Nevertheless, he fully deserves the title of an unusual and atypical person. This politician for five years (2010-2015) was the President of Uruguay and throughout his career left almost the entire salary to charity.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Jose Mujica
That is why Mujica is called the poorest president in the world. Unlike other presidents, he really differs by the absence of any pretentiousness and inclination to accumulate wealth. His personal farm is located on a farm near Montevideo, where Mujica and his wife (also involved in politics) grow part of their own food themselves.
He also almost completely provides for himself and does not need anything, although he gives the bulk of his salary to charity. Mujica has no bank accounts and has always driven a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle estimated to be worth less than $2,000. Of course, such an existence is led by a considerable number of people, but for presidents it is more than unusual and surprising.
Petr Kadyaev
Many people consider yoga and similar practices to maintain their own health as a purely Eastern theme, but Pyotr Kadyaev proved not only the possibility of using this practice in modern Russian conditions, but also achieved high results. The veteran of the Second World War began yoga classes when he had huge health problems, the doctors practically abandoned him and predicted very little time for him. Nevertheless, a resident of Togliatti began to gradually master yoga in accessible ways in the distant Soviet times.
Photo: Unusual people of the world. Petr Kadyaev
Relatively recently, he left the mortal world, then Peter Nikolayevich was a hundred years old, according to medical records, he was able to extend his existence in this body for 45 years more than experts predicted. Pyotr Kadyaev not only became a yoga specialist and managed to significantly improve his own well-being, but also helped others until the end of his own century: he practiced and led a group in his own city, where he taught yoga for everyone free of charge.
A person is surprised by everything that goes beyond the ordinary. But if actions cause approval or condemnation among others, then unusual abilities only surprise, delight or disgust. Amazing people have superpowers, talent, a gift, or maybe something else? Where do they live? How are their fates? And who are the most amazing people in world history?
Mozart
The name of this musician is known all over the world, because he made a huge contribution to the development of music around the world. The works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are immortal classics and the cultural heritage of all mankind. was born in 1756 in Western Austria. The child had phenomenal hearing and memory. Wolfgang's father was a musician, the only sister was also fond of music. Parents devoted a lot of time and effort to young Mozart's home education, but his father's main goal was to make a great composer out of his son.
Mozart masterfully played all the instruments of his time, although he was afraid of the trumpet since childhood: its loud sound horrified him. Already at the age of four, Wolfgang wrote his first plays. In total, during his 35-year life, Mozart gave the world more than 600 works.
William James Sidis
Interested in the question of who are the most amazing people in the world in history, we present to learn about the American child prodigy, born in 1898. William James Sidis is considered to be the smartest man who ever lived. At the age of one and a half, William read newspapers on his own, before his eighth birthday, the little genius managed to write 4 books. The level of intelligence of Sidis was estimated at 250-300 points, this record has not been broken to this day.
In the history of Harvard, William Sidis is listed as the youngest and most gifted student who entered the university at the age of 11 (previously they refused to take him because of his age). His fellow students were amazing people and outstanding personalities who made a significant contribution to the development of physics, mathematics and other sciences. But young William stood out among them. He lectured, wrote treatises, studied languages. But his abilities aroused envy and aggression from those around him: he was threatened with physical violence, prison and a mental hospital. Growing up, Sidis was forced to hide his genius and even quit his job every time he gave himself away. This brilliant man died at the age of 42 from
Scott Flansberg
The most amazing people in the world live among ordinary people and in ordinary cities. For example, in the state of California you can meet Scott Flansberg, known as the "calculator man". This American live proved to millions of viewers that he is able to solve any mathematical operations faster than an ordinary calculator.
The part of the brain that is designed to do mathematical calculations is slightly higher in Scott and much larger in size than in most people. Scientists wrestle with the question of whether the abilities of a mathematical genius are innate or whether he was able to develop them to such an extent. In any case, today it is the fastest known mathematician-accounter.
Robert Pershing Wadlow
In order to become famous all over the world, it is enough to be born smart, talented or tall. American Robert Pershing Wadlow, due to his enormous growth, adjoins the list of "Unusual and amazing people." Photos of the giant Wadlow confirm his height and the title of the tallest man in history.
Robert was born in an ordinary family, where parents and other relatives were not tall. And he himself, up to four years old, looked like all his peers. But then the boy began to grow rapidly, and by the age of majority his height had reached 254 cm, and his weight was 177 kg. Luckily, Wadlow was already so well known that he got shoes in size 37AA for free.
Of course, such changes could not but affect the health of the giant. He had to suffer with crutches and struggle with a number of ailments. The doctors did everything they could to save the young man. He died at the age of 22 in his sleep. Compatriots remembered Robert as a kind giant. 40,000 Americans attended his funeral, and 12 people carried the casket.
Zydrunas Savickas
To get into the category of "Amazing People of the World", some had to make a lot of effort, primarily physical. Today, the current champion of various sports and the owner of the title "the strongest man on the planet" is the Lithuanian weightlifter Zydrunas Savickas.
Zydrunas was fond of sports since childhood, already at the age of 14 he decided that he wanted to be a leader in every day, the Lithuanian hero trained, step by step moving towards his goal. Of course, prize-winning places in world tournaments were not immediately given to him. But today he is known as a multiple champion and he performs squats with 425.5 kg on his shoulders and squeezes 286 kg from the chest.
Daniel Browning Smith
Perhaps each person has some hidden abilities that could glorify him or simply be useful. But since many do not know about their talents, do not believe in them or do not develop them, the world is very closely watching individuals who have managed to discover and develop special abilities in themselves.
The most amazing people, according to most, are those who have abilities that make them stand out from the crowd - whether it be talent, intelligence, psychic or physical abilities. Daniel Smith, who was nicknamed the "rubber man", amazes the audience with his flexibility, which made him famous throughout the world.
Daniel was born in an ordinary American family, for the first time his abilities were discovered at the age of 4 in a game with other tomboys. The boy's parents, who noticed their son's features in time, showed him to professionals, and, according to their instructions, Daniel began to work day and night. In the family, work has always been revered, and the determination of the future "rubber man" could be envied.
Today, Smith pulls off mind-blowing stunts by bending and fitting into the smallest of spaces. But he does not like fame, he does not give interviews, but only invites everyone to the circus to watch his performances.
Tim Cridland
It is difficult to imagine whether it hurts Daniel Smith to "fold" into an aquarium, but it is not at all possible to realize that it is possible to voluntarily subject one's body to torture. But it seems that Tim Cridland is not at all afraid of physical pain. From the school bench, he strives to inflict physical injury on himself.
According to scientists, Tim's pain threshold is much higher than that of other people. Due to this, he does not feel or tolerates physical pain more easily. Taking advantage of such a "gift", Cridland took the stage name "Zamora - the king of torture" and, in front of astonished and even shocked spectators, swallows fire, pierces himself with swords, drives needles and knitting needles under the skin. Thanks to this, he is a permanent member of all lists, which include only the most amazing people in the world.
Michelle Lotito
Glory came to Lotito as a true Frenchman through gastronomic addictions. Amazing people have not only superpowers, but also unusual ideas.
How could it have occurred to a 9-year-old boy to eat a glass to woo his friends? Although this glass, one might say, became the first dish in his unusual menu.
To date, Lotito has already eaten a lot of "goodies" - bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, glass. It took Michel two years to eat the plane (Cessna-150)! All he needs is throat oil and water. According to the Frenchman, he does not experience any discomfort and consequences from such dinners. Studies have shown that Mr. Eat It All's stomach has adapted and has walls twice as thick as it should be. Who is not afraid of hunger.
Chuck Feeney
The most amazing people in the world throughout history have been celebrated in many ways, with unusual data and abilities. But isn't it amazing the generosity and kindness that some members of society show towards others? In today's world, where the majority can only talk about charity and the injustice of the distribution of economic resources, there are people who deserve respect.
So, Chuck Feeney does not have any superpowers, except for kindness, generosity and complicity as such. The billionaire started his business from the bottom: selling alcohol to sailors, he quickly established his network. Within a few years, he hired a fairly large number of employees and opened his points in different countries. His fortune grew rapidly, but the lion's share went to charity.
Feeney is 81 today. He has donated $6 billion to education, health care, support for nursing homes and science. Although he still has one and a half billion left, the rich man lives very modestly: in a rented apartment, not even having a car. Chuck intends to donate the remaining funds to charity.
With regard to Chuck Feeney, it should be noted that this is a very modest benefactor. For fifteen years he gave away his money anonymously. When it became impossible to do this, Chuck still "did not shine" and did not give interviews. Feeney's modesty breaks the stereotype that all amazing people want fame. By the way, Chuck's actions inspired some of the richest people on the planet to follow his example.
Rachel Backvis
Another amazing little man who does not have any gift, but only a huge and kind heart - Rachel Backvis. This little girl did not have a fortune to give to those in need, but she was able to not only donate what was dear to her, but also find a way to make adults think and contribute to helping children.
In the city of Seattle, where eight-year-old Rachel lived, a lecture was held on the lack of drinking water and infant mortality (up to 4.5 thousand babies die every day). The girl was shocked by the information and the pictures she saw at the lecture, and decided to somehow help.
On the Internet, Rachel's mother created a charity page for her daughter. The girl on social networks urged relatives and friends to donate the money they wanted to spend on a gift (Rachel's birthday was approaching) to charity. The girl hoped to raise $300 to save 15 children, but only managed to raise $220. Rachel was very upset, but she knew that she would raise more money on her next birthday. However, fate decreed otherwise.
A few months after her birthday, nine-year-old Rachel went on vacation with her parents. They were involved in a horrific accident where more than 20 cars collided. Doctors tried to save the girl's life, but they failed. Interestingly, apart from Rachel, no one else died in that accident.
This accident and Rachel's story got into the media, and people from different countries learned about the heroic and kind girl, whose last wish was to help dying children. Unfortunately, she was not able to celebrate her tenth birthday and collect the desired amount. But this amazing act and sincere human kindness united outsiders and gave a powerful impetus. The company that Rachel launched became the largest: a huge amount was received in a short time. With the money that came from different parts of the world in the name of the girl and to save the children, more than 60 thousand human lives were saved!
It is important to note that Rachel has always been a kind and sympathetic child, and this is not her only contribution to helping outsiders. At the age of eight, she cut her long braids several times to give them to children with cancer and bald after chemotherapy. And after the tragedy, Rachel became a donor: her organs saved a seriously ill child.
