Electro-boy crashes computers

A student in a Romanian town can crash computers and electrical appliances just by standing near them.

According to the news agency RIA Novosti, when the 20-year-old man moved into a nine-storey apartment building in the town of Iasi computers started to fuse, bulbs shattered, fuse boxes would explode and lifts carrying people would get stuck.

The manager of the building told the press that when he shook the student's hand, "I had a feeling as if I touched a bare electric wire."

Residents in the apartment called in a priest, thinking that the electrical breakdowns might have been caused by a demon, but everything remained useless.

In the end, after televisions broke in every apartment of the building and internet connections proved impossible, the residents took the case to court demanding that the student move out.

Romanian scientists claimed that the boy has a very strong biomagnetic field, and it was this that caused all the troubles, RIA Novosti reported.
