From about 1945 to 1948, Mirin Dajo (real name: Arnold Gerrit Henskes) demonstrated on many occasions that he could have rapiers and swords passed right through his chest from back to front or vice versa, or right through his lower abdomen, passing through various internal organs, and not have any noticeable bleeding either externally or internally or any other apparent ill effects. One one occasion he was observed and tested by some doctors while doing this, including having an X-Ray done that showed the sword passing right through his body. When the sword was removed, he would press on the entrance and exit wounds for a short time and that was all he apparently needed to do to prevent any bleeding after the sword was removed. He even demonstrated that he could walk and jog both when the sword was in him and almost right away after the sword was removed as well. Very freaky. Don't watch this video if you are squeamish. You can read some more about this guy here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirin_Dajo He apparently died several days after 'voices' instructed him to swallow a steel needle, which he did and then had surgically removed. One explanation might be that maybe the guy was being controlled and protected by spirits or some such thing, if you believe that such things are possible, until those voices told him to swallow the steel needle. Then his amazing invulnerability seemed to have disappeared. It was apparently even claimed that he allowed himself to be shot in the head twice with a gun, but I don't know if there is any decent evidence to support that. So, what do you think? Were spirits interacting and protecting this guy (something like the people in the East who can withstand fire and sharp knives when they claim they are under the influence of 'spirits'), or what do you think? Just an extraordinary ability to control internal bleeding and heal very fast? A very strange ability at any rate...
