OK guys, the thread on the flying man, triggered a memory that I can locate no correlating information for on the net.
I've seen on these boards, a reference to a large yellow paperback books of Fantastic Facts, of which I used to have a copy. It was filled with all sorts of things; from 'real' werewolves, to people jumping from planes and landing safely.
One story in particular that I remember was about a guy who could, apparently, perform fantastic feats of jumping, by 'manipulating' 2 large weights that he carried.
It was reported that he could jump into, and back out of, a crate of eggs, without breaking a single one, and could jump across a river in 2 jumps, the first taking him to the middle of the river, where his feet would sink an inch or so beneath the water, whereupon he would leap to the other bank.
I've done a bit of googling, but can't find anything about him. There's a bit of info. out there on The Human Cork, who couldn't be sunk, despite being dropped in rivers and lakes whilst tied to massive weights, or to pieces of furniture, but I don't think this is the same person.
Any ideas?
