Serb boys appear to be human magnets’
The Globe and Mail


Two small boys from a central Serbian town are able to attract metal objects, acting much like human magnets . Sanja Petrovic, the mother of 4-year-old David, said it first came to her attention about a month ago.She had asked him to fetch her  a spoon so she cold feed his little brother, and he yelled back, "Mom, it sticks!” Then she  found him with several spoons and forks hanging from his body.Terrified, the 26 year-old woman phoned her sister, who discovered that her 6 year old son Luka had the same attraction. The phenomenon is rare and so far medically unexplained. Several similar cases, however, have recently been reported in Serbia, and also in Croatia and Bosnia. As far as the doctors know, there is no medical or scientific explanation , They said the boys' magnetism borders on the “paranormal'' side. Davids mother said her son loses his magnetic powers when he is asleep, but regains them when he wakes up and starts moving. Afterward he will feel a little chilly and tired. Both David and Luka are now happy to put on a show for to visitors.

This is a very different and interesting news article. I would have never thought that supernatural powers like this actually existed in the world. It is truly amazing to see the gifts, but yet weird talents, some people are blessed with. It is also amazing that two people that are related have the same medically unexplained ability. It makes me wonder the abilities the next generation of kids will have in the future. With the technology advancing at the rate it is, and more people having these special gifts, the sky is the limit for the research and development of these kinds of people. I also think that scientists need to make sure they are finding the reason and explanation of cases like this. Then once that is done, they should  be sent to the proper facilities for treatment and development of these natural talents. To me, it is very fascinating to see things like this happen in the world.

  1. Very interesting, I hope I have that ability too.Its very cool but I'm not sure if its that safe, cause the kid may actually attract a knife to his neck and kill himself.
