Roy Sullivan, The Human Lightning Rod Case File #236

BACK OUR PATREON! CHECK OUT OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL! -- Between 1942 and 1977, Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning not once. Not twice. But seven times. Seven separate incidents, each documented. Each time, he survived. This is not a metaphor. This isn’t a folk tale. This is a real guy who lived through something so absurdly implausible that scientists have studied his body, tourists have followed him through the woods, and Guinness World Records etched his name into history as the man most frequently struck by lightning and survived.
