1. spontaneous human combustion

Spontaneous human combustion means that a person's body automatically catches fire without touching external fire. 1949 12 15 A 53-year-old woman named Coles in New Hampshire, USA, was burned to death at home. In the investigation, the police found that there was a horrible corpse lying on the floor of the room that didn't look like a human figure, but the items in the room were not damaged at all, the fireplace was never used, and even a fire could not be found in other places.

This is also the case in spontaneous human combustion in other parts of the world. There are various forms of spontaneous combustion. Some people are only slightly burned, while others are reduced to ashes. However, both the modern scientific and medical circles deny spontaneous human combustion's statement, because it is possible to burn all the bone marrow and tissues of the human body only in a high-pressure crematorium with the temperature exceeding 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Accused person

Mrs Jackie Plymouth in England is a person who can generate electricity.

Scientists have tried their best to solve this incredible phenomenon of human power generation. According to Dr. Wayne R. Cole of the United States, in theory, about 3 cubic centimeters of human muscle cells can generate 400,000 volts.

5. The twin brothers got away with it

A strange thing happened in Britain a few years ago: 17-year-old college students Aceri Donald and David Donald are identical twins. The brothers were questioned by Portsmouth police on suspicion of stealing 137 cars. Police officers found the criminal's DNA through clues at the scene and determined that one of the twins had committed these crimes. However, in the face of these two identical young people, the police were dumbfounded. Because the two men have the same genetic structure, the police can't prove which of the two brothers committed these destructive cases.

As long as people ask any date since AJ 1980, she can immediately recall who she met and what she did-even the weather and what she had for dinner that day. In addition, AJ can immediately tell researchers the dates of many world events, including the time and place of earthquakes. My mind is like a movie.

American scientists still can't solve the mystery of AJ memory. However, scientists found that AJ's IQ is still average. Although she has a superhuman memory of daily life, she can't remember long strings of numbers or letters.
