Tragedy family with 3 generations died because of lightning being hit at the same place

The seemingly mysterious and supernatural story that only appeared in movies actually happened to an Italian family, when three generations in a family were struck by lightning at the same place.

In 1899, a man was killed by lightning when standing in the backyard of a house in Taranto, Italy. 30 years later, his son also died for the same reason and also in this position. Coincidentally, this tragedy that continued to happen to his nephew on October 8, 1949 was also in the same place.

This terrible tragedy so far science cannot explain the cause. However, the story in Italy is not the only one, a family "smoking" in the US also became famous when four generations in a family are experiencing scenes of lightning.

Olesen's family in the United States must also encounter the same tragic situation. It all began in May 1899 when Christ Olesen, 23, visited his fiancée and future father-in-law. Lightning suddenly hit the house, causing Christ to die while the other two were unharmed.

20 years later, in 1921, the brother of Christ, Ole while checking cattle during a summer stormy night was suddenly struck by lightning right in front of the farm gate.

Olesen's family has since been afraid of lightning. Christ's sister, Christine years later, always lived in fear of being visited anytime. In 1941 Christine's grandson Bill came to visit her. At that evening, a storm struck. Christine, fearful of tragedy, happened to her two brothers, who decided to wake up her grandson and take him out of the car.

When they were walking through the living room, a bolt of lightning struck through the wall. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

20 years later, in 1961, a ball of lightning shattered the sky before hitting the grill in the kitchen at Bill's house. He and his little daughter nearby were lucky to escape.

By 1966, Bill's cousin, Connie, was walking out on the street and was struck by lightning. Connie did not die but only paralyzed a part of her body.

A few years later, Bradley Hampbel, Olesen's fourth generation when visiting his grandmother in Burlington, Illinois was almost hit by lightning. Hampbel was also the last person in the family to be asked by lightning.

Many people after hearing this story said that this was just a coincidence, but the Olesen family believed that their family members were able to "attract" lightning. It may be due to genetic factors or from some supernatural force.
