A YouTube video of a monk praying calmly in a vat of boiling
oil has recently has been doing the rounds online, leaving viewers wondering
how the monk can keep from screaming in agony.
Social media users were enthralled by the possibility of
this Thai monk’s ability to defy physics with his ‘magic’.
Unfortunately, skeptical scientists soon pointed out a few
facts that pretty much ruined the illusion.
The monk, from Thailand’s Nong Bua Lamphu province, looks at
ease despite sitting in a vessel of oil with a fire raging underneath, reports
Oddity Central.
He is also seen sharing his magical powers with others by
touching objects that they pass to him.
His followers believe that his touch can make their amulets
or pieces of fabric powerful.
These objects are apparently sold to the locals and other
places of worship.
