Father Attempts To Grab Levitating Son

levitatingboyDAILY PLANET (METROPOLIS) — A West Virginia father attempted to grab his levitating, twenty-month old son on Wednesday. The boy, identified only as Jack, suddenly sprang from the floor and became unstuck from the law of gravity.

“This happens all the time,” his father, John, explained. “Especially when he is getting up from a sitting position. Sometimes he hops up too quickly and just keeps going up.”

Kelly, the boy’s mother, explained the need for fast action when an event like this happens. “It’s important to grab him quick,” she said. “We never know how high up he’ll go, as he hasn’t learned to fully control his powers yet. He may bump his head on the ceiling–which could hurt the ceiling–or, if he’s out-of-doors when it happens, he might interfere with local air traffic.”

The boy is improving his levitation skills, claims his father. “He used to only be able to go up and down, but now he’s able to go forward and back. It’s still a kind of slow, jerky process that makes him look a bit like a giant, wobbly bumblebee bobbing around, but he manages. Lately, he’s been levitating around the perimeter of whatever room he’s in, stretching out his little hands to the wall to steady himself.”

The boy also has other special abilities. “He can make microwave popcorn by himself,” his mother reports. “No, I don’t mean that he knows how to use the microwave yet. He just kind of looks at the bag real hard and it starts popping on its own. He loves to do that. He giggles and claps his hands.”

Raising such a boy has presented its challenges. “It’s made it hard to get him all his childhood innoculations. We can get him the oral ones no problem, but it’s pretty hard to give him a shot. You have to angle the syringe just right or the needle breaks off when you try,” his father notes.

“And he’s really hard on shoes,” his mother adds. “Really, really hard.”

Both parents adamantly deny rumors that they found their child in a Kansas corn field on a night marked by unusual UFO activity.

“That wasn’t a UFO,” his father says. “It was just a meteor that made that crater.”

  1. Funny, my kids used to levitate, too, when they were little – but only when their dad was carrying them. It wore off eventually though – about the time the little one passed the thirty-pound mark. I guess gravity just overwhelms them at that point 😉

  2. This is not surprising. The father of this child could make friends with birds. I witnessed this in my home when John befriended a bird. Years later when John returned for a visit he stepped out in the back yard and soon the bird he had made contact with came and circled Johns head chattering a greeting. I can’t wait for the wonders little baby girl will accomplish!!!! I have observed this family for many years and have seen many strange wonders!
