The Rarest Diseases That Turn People Into Super Human

The human body and the diseases that occur in it are interrelated, some of these diseases are very dangerous and life-threatening, while some are so minor, which are cured in a few days. The after-effects and weakness of illness in the body are a common thing during and after healing, but imagine a disease that instead of weakening your body turns you into a superhuman. Today we will tell you about some such rare diseases due to which such superpowers developed in humans, which were not there before.

Hyperthymesia

Hyperthymesia is such an extraordinarily rare disease that has been found in only 60 people in the world to date. The memory of a person suffering from this disease increases so much that he remembers every incident and every experience of his life in very precise detail. Not only this, if you ask a person about a particular day of their life, that person can tell you every single detail of that particular day without hesitation or conscious effort. This is indeed a disease that sounds very attractive and interesting to hear, but those who have had this disease say that this is not less than a curse. Jill Price, an American woman who was the first victim of this disease, says that due to this disease, she remembers every single moment in full detail that happened to her. Because of not being able to forget anything, her mind is always remembering a past incident, due to which she cannot live in the present. Every moment, every minute there are some scenes and events going on in her mind, due to which she always feels very tired and upset.

Congenital Analgesia

Congenital Analgesia is also known as Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP). It is a medical condition in which a person suffering from this disease does not feel any physical pain. So far very few cases of this disease have been reported, but nearly 40 cases were found in Vittangi, a village in northern Sweden, which is actually an abnormally high frequency there. This disease seems like a blessing to you, because having a body free from pain and suffering can be a really pleasant feeling. But in fact, this disease is very dangerous, because our body is made in such a way that whenever our body sends the signal of pain to the brain, it informs the brain that there is something wrong in the body that needs to be corrected. But in this disease, no signal of pain goes to the brain, due to which the patient does not know whether there is a problem in his body or not. For example, if a person suffering from this disease gets a heart attack, he will not feel any pain and he will not be able to know that he is in dire need of going to a medical emergency, which can also lead to his death.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

Imagine a disease in which your body starts turning like a stone man and becomes so strong like a giant rock that it seems very difficult to damage it. One such rare disorder is named Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, also known as Stoneman disease. It is an incurable disease whose search for a successful cure continues even today, but the fact is that it is a very rare condition that is estimated to be 0.5 cases per million people. In this disease, the damaged tissue and muscle of the patient start to harden like any bone, which seems identical to "normal" bone, simply in improper locations. But if this new bone is cut and removed, then many new bones start growing there instead of that wound. But this disease is a very painful condition due to extra bone growth in improper locations in the body. A person gets very terrible pain while moving, which also leads to tissue swelling, joint stiffness, and serious discomfort.

Savant syndrome

Savant syndrome is such a rare disease that truly transforms a human into a superhuman because a person suffering from this disease develops such an amazing ability to do anything that is beyond the imagination of any normal human being. In the patient of this disease, such memory-related talent is developed, which may include artistic ability, rapid calculation, map making, or musical ability. In this special talent, a person can draw an image right after looking at anything once, or he can read any book only once and remember it forever, and listening to difficult musical notes only once and can play it without any music training. Such disease patients demonstrate such amazing talent in drawing, singing, painting, 3D-modeling, and calculations that it is beyond the ability of any ordinary person to accomplish. Stephen Wiltshire, Kim Peek, Leslie Lemke, and Daniel Tammet are among the few who suffer from this disease, but the world sees these people as Genius. But despite such amazing talent, the patients of this disease find themselves failing to do such things in daily life which is a minor thing for a normal person, such as the inability to speak properly and walk properly, a condition like autism is one of the few side-effects of this disease.

Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy

Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is such a rare genetic condition that causes immense muscle mass and muscle power in its patient so that even a five-year-old child becomes more powerful than a 25-year-old person. Actually, in this disease, the size of the skeletal muscle of the patient starts increasing rapidly and the body fat starts to decrease, due to which the body of that patient starts to appear very muscular and its muscle power becomes much more than any ordinary person. You must have seen the famous face of this disease, Liam Hoekstra, who was born in 2005 and has been suffering from this disease since childhood. Due to this, since childhood, his body looked like a bodybuilder and his muscle power was more than any other children of his age. Liam used to do such exercises at an early age, which required immense strength and flexibility. Recently, scientists in China followed the genetic changes caused by this disease and experimented on dogs of the beagle breed, which greatly increased their muscle mass and strength. People associated with this experiment believe that in the future, it will be possible to transform a normal human being into a superhuman by using the Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy experiment.

These places can be natural as well as man-made. These places are so dramatic and eye-catching that it is hard to believe until you see them. Although there are only seven wonders in the world, but still there exist many such places throughout the world that fall under the category of wonders.

Bigar Waterfall

The waterfalls can also be considered the most beautiful gifts of nature and this Romanian waterfall, named "Bigar Waterfall", is one of the most spectacular and unique waterfalls in the world. It is also called "the miracle from the Minis Canyon" by the locals. Falling from a height of almost eight meters, this waterfall falls over an unusual and dramatic green carpet of moss, and which is located in the Anina Mountains on the Mini River. Its water does not fall directly like the normal waterfall, but it falls in a rounded shape because below is the face of a cave, due to which it falls in the shape of a circle which seems very attractive to see. There is a lot of greenery all around it which makes it even more beautiful. Its special feature is that the speed of its water flow is not much like other waterfalls, but its water flows slowly in thin streams so that you can go near it without any danger. This waterfall is quite silent but very beautiful, it is considered to be the most beautiful natural place in Romania.

Electric Ladyland - Museum of Fluorescent Art

Amsterdam is famous for many things, but you might not know that one of the world's most popular museums is in Amsterdam, known as Electric Ladyland Museum, a museum of Fluorescent Art under ultraviolet light. This art gallery is built in the basement of Electric Ladyland Museum, in which you will get to see both fabulous natural and artificial built materials, which glow in response to ultraviolet light. Earlier, people used to use Fluorescent material for entertainment as well, because then today's entertainment items were not available. Here you will also get to see the history of fluorescence and the magical tricks related to them will also be shown to you. Currently, there is no other museum like this on our planet, then going here will be a different experience for you.

Sima Humboldt

Also known as Sima Mayor, It is an enormous sinkhole that is built in the Bolívar State of Venezuela. This sinkhole is so big that if you look in from the outside, then you will feel that it is a place leading to the center of the earth. No one in the world knew about this sinkhole until 1961, as it was first spotted in 1961 by pilot Harry Gibson. It has a depth of 1,030 feet and a maximum width of 1,155 ft at its upper rim and 1,647 ft below. There is also another small sinkhole near this sinkhole which is 2000 feet away from it and these sinkholes have been found on the summit of the plateau of Sarisarinama tepui. This sinkhole is so big that it has its own ecosystem, in fact, it also has its own forest, if you go inside it, you will get to see very beautiful views inside its forest.

The Prison Boab Tree

This is a home-looking tree in Western Australia, 6 kilometers south of Derby, its trunk is quite thick and large hollow, allowing humans to live in it. It is believed that in the 1890s this place has also been used as a prison. This tree is also called the Derby prison tree. It is a very old tree, according to scientists, this tree is 1,500-year-old and its trunk is 50 feet wide which is almost as wide as a normal room. In a painting of the 1940s, this tree was shown as a prison, since then it was said that it must have been used as a prison in the past. Currently, it has become a popular tourist attraction in Australia and such trees are also considered sacred among a tribal group here. Somewhere human bones have also been found inside such trees.

Kannesteinen Rock

Also known as Mushroom Rock, this Mushroom-like structure in Norway, can look beautiful to anyone, but nature has created this unique structure, not humans. For thousands of years, strong winds and ocean waves have given this rock a mushroom-like appearance. Some people call it the shape of the mushroom, while others think of it as the shape of the heart. Even though it is thinner from the bottom, but still it is so strong that many people can stand on it at once, making no damage to it. But if you climbed this rock during low tide and then stayed on it for so long that the time of high tide started, then you can get stuck on it because then there will be too much water around. The way this rock has become thinner, according to experts, there will be a time when this rock will break and fall into the water. But there are many years left for this time to come, so you can go to this place right now by being tension free.

Cave pearls

Pearls are not only found in the sea, you can also find beautiful pearls in the cave due to a geological phenomenon. These pearls are usually formed by a concretion of calcium salts that form concentric layers around a nucleus and become smooth and shiny due to the movement of water over time. These pearls look very beautiful to see, if you want to see a good collection of such cave pearls in a natural form then you have to visit Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. By visiting here, you will get a chance to see these caves through the guided tours. Earlier in this place, every single pearl was given to tourists as a gift, but now it is no longer done.

Kamokuna (Hawaii)

You may find it strange to see because it seems that these are the twisted bodies of many human beings that are being thrown into the fire. But in reality, it is an optical illusion, it was not made by humans, rather it is a pattern of lava formed on the rocks. If you look into it clearly, you will see a large amount of hot lava below, and therefore, some people even say that it looks like it is a portal to hell because many people are falling into it. But the real thing is that due to the flow of lots of lava, such odd patterns have been formed on the rocks that look like the shape of humans.

Kedareshwar Cave Temple

This temple is built in the Ahmednagar district of India and is considered quite mysterious. The temple has a big Shiva Linga whose height is five feet from the base, and which is completely surrounded by water. It is a quite ancient temple famous mainly for its pillars built around the Shiva Linga to support the cave, three out of the four pillars are broken, while only one is left, the other three pillars are hanging in the air. During the rains, the cave is completely filled with water, but even after the end of the rainy season, one or two feet deep water always remains in the temple which is also quite cold. There are many beliefs about this temple among people living near or far.

Inverted Cone-Shaped Structures 

Singapore is particularly known for its amazing architecture which has many beautiful structures, there is one such structure that is not very famous but it should have been famous. This is a fairly futuristic structure located near Tampines Road. These inverted cone-shaped structures are actually water storage tanks made of concrete, used to hold 8,448 cubic meters of Newater (water recycled from waste treated to become drinking quality water) each. When you get a glimpse of them, they appear to be two giant UFOs, resting on a grassy slope and waiting to take off at any time. Measuring 43m in diameter at the top, these elevated water tanks, make up the Tampines Newater Service Reservoir, maintained by the national water agency PUB (Public Utilities Board).

Mount Nyiragongo

This dangerous volcano exists in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which has erupted at least 34 times since 1882. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Smoke always continues to release from it and the world's voluminous lava lake is also in this volcano. Despite being so dangerous, many villages are still inhabited around this place. Apart from this, another dangerous fact about this volcano is that there are many similar rocks around this mountain on which lava moves much faster than other volcanoes, causing a great threat to human life. When it erupted in 1977, the speed of lava flow was about 100 km/h, that is, people had no time to run. But in spite of all this, it is quite an amazing place to explore and a lot of daring people keep coming here, but every single second, there remains a fear in the mind that it can erupt anytime.

The existence of ghosts and spirits has been found in every era, every civilization, and every country, proving the fact that many ghostly places are still found in every corner of this world. So let's know about some such haunted places which are giving the most frightening experience to humanity.

Manila Film Center (Philippines)

Although it doesn't look like typical scary places, but still it is counted among the most haunted places in the Philippines, which served as the main theater for the 1982 Manila International Film Festival. Significantly, during construction work in 1981, on November 17, 169 workers were fell and buried under quick-drying cement, in which many died a painful death. It is said that no rescue team had arrived here for about 9 hours after the accident, due to which it became a more tragic event. Many believed that the ghosts of the dead workers still wander here, many people claim to see them and experience their horror.

Hell Fire Club (Ireland)

This haunted building in County Dublin, Ireland was built at the summit of Mount Pelier Hill in 1725. If the stories related to this hunting lodge are to be believed, some very strange incidents have happened here. According to the locals, this place was used exclusively for occult practices and demonic manifestations. The members of the Hell Fire Club used Mount Pelier lodge as a meeting place and they always left a chair vacant at each meeting for the Devil, in the hope that he would attend. The lodge has a reputation for being haunted, especially notably by a giant black cat. Since its construction, the hill has also known by the same name, "The Hell Fire Club". This place is considered one of the scariest places in Ireland.

Lulia Hasdeu Castle (Romania)

This building located in Romania was built by Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, after the death of her 19-year-old daughter named Iulia Hasdeu. Her father dedicated this castle and his entire life to Iulia and became a spiritualist. Some people believed that Lulia's father designed this castle with a helping hand from his deceased daughter's spirit as if her spirit had called out from beyond the grave, describing the castle’s design. It is said that Iulia's father used to contact her spirit in a room in this building and the entire room was furnished for such endeavors. Some claimed that even today, Iulia’s ghost wanders in the property during the night in a white dressing gown and plays painful music on the piano.

The Princess Theatre (Australia)

In this theater, on the evening of 3 March 1888, an Italian singer Frederick Baker died on stage due to a heart attack while performing. After that incident, the theater has experienced several ghost sightings as many have claimed to have seen a ghostly figure in evening dress in the theater. For many years when any performance took place in this theater, a seat was always reserved for Frederick in his honor. One such anecdote is also associated with Baba Harbhajan Singh, a former soldier of India, for whom even today a chair is left vacant in every flag meeting between India and China so that his spirit can attend that meeting.

Beechworth Asylum (Australia)

Beechworth Asylum was a mental hospital located in Beechworth, a town of Victoria, Australia, which was in service from 1868 to 1995, and closed after 128 years of continuous operation. This hospital had availability of 1200 beds, which means about 1200 patients could stay here altogether. In the 128-years history of this asylum, around 3000 patients have died within its walls. It has also been heard that the presence of the spirits of all those dead people still wandering in this hospital, which is probably why people are afraid to come here. Beechworth Asylum is now counted among the most haunted buildings in Australia as it has been reported for experiencing many ghost sightings from time to time.
