A 40 year old Romanian hospital worker Aurel Raileanu,
recently discovered that metal objects stick to his body, as if he was a magnet.
Its not only steel items, but non metallic items such as wood, glass, and plastic stick to his skin as well.

Normally, this would make a great science fiction read, except that this guy is for real, his abilities seem to have been verified by a Doctor, as well as his friends?
Apparently he is not the first person to have this metal sticking ability. Others throughout history have been found to have similar powers, most have been documented.

Aurel has difficulty using a telephone, since it sticks to his head and hands, so he wrote letters to the West, asking for help.

Story and pictures below.

***Thoughts
must be a clever trick, glue, suction etc. come to mind?

Wow, not sure I can suggest but an answer. But the question does occur to me, how come these things always happen in Russia?
