What if the sky had your number? For one man, lightning didn't just strike twice—it struck seven times. And when he finally found peace in the grave, it came back one last time to finish the job. This isn't a myth. This is the impossibly true story of Roy Sullivan, the "human lightning rod," a man who holds the world record for being struck by lightning more times than anyone in history. We dive deep into one of the most bizarre chapters of weird history, contrasting the cold, hard science from the National Weather Service on lightning safety with a life that defies all probability and odds. While official data shows us the deadly physics of ground current and the tragic reality of lightning fatalities, we explore the survival stories that break every rule. You'll hear the shocking details of each of Sullivan's seven strikes and the story of Walter Summerford, another man so unlucky that the storm followed him even after death, striking his tombstone. Is this a case of a cosmic curse, a one-in-a-septillion statistical anomaly, or is there a scientific explanation for these human lightning rods? We are chasing the storm to find out.
