A Psychic Has Killed Himself In A Sword Ritual While Trying To Prove He's Immortal

A psychic medium in Thailand has failed to prove his immortality in the most unfortunate way while performing an ancient folk ritual.

Theprit Palee was performing the traditional spirit dance for a crowd in Chiang Mai, the dance is said to honour the ghosts of ancestors and usually proves that the medium can beat death, the blade always snaps before being plunged into the performer's chest.

However, on this occasion the mystic didn't have the spirits on his side and ended up accidentally stabbed himself in the chest with the weapon. He was later pronounced dead in hospital.
