A Thai woman says she has not cut her hair in over a decade because she believes it possesses supernatural powers. The curious case reportedly began around 2015 when the Trang province resident, identified as Nutcha, found that her locks had slowly formed into a solid mass atop her head. When a spiritual healer tried to free her from the peculiar predicament by attempting to cut the hair, he developed a mysterious ailment. Following that weird incident, a similarly strange dream experience that occurred shortly thereafter convinced Nutcha that something truly extraordinary was happening with her locks.
According to Nutcha, she was visited in her sleep one night by an old man who told her she should shoot a gun into her hair, but not to worry because it would not discharge. Amazingly, she actually put the dream figure's words to the test and, as he had promised, the device did not fire. Combined with her previous experience with the spiritual healer, the eerie visitation and accurate prognostication led Nutcha to believe that her hair had somehow developed supernatural powers that cast a proverbial cloak of protection over her. As a result, she opted to simply let her locks continue to grow ever since with her mane now measuring nearly four feet long.
