A Colombian man who keeps being struck by lightning has gone to extreme lengths to find a remedy - allowing villagers to bury him alive to try and rid him of the problem.

As if being hit four times in the space of six months was not enough of an ordeal, a healer in Colombia told Alexander Mandón he must submit to being lowered in to the earth up to his neck in order to rid him of his 'electrical charge'.

Not only that, the bizarre ritual had to be carried out twice when villagers first buried the 20-year-old lying down, only to be told Mr Mandón must be buried upright in order for the 'cure' to take effect.
