Lightning

In it true that being hit by lightning can have health benefits?

There have been some documented cases where people who were legally blind were hit by lightning and, indeed, found out afterwards that they had regained their vision. There are also a few cases where victims of lightning bolts found out that they did better on intelligence tests afterwards. Indeed, some have even claimed that they have gained psychic abilities.



Lightning doesn’t always strike the ground; sometimes bolts shoot from cloud to cloud, instead.
