Walter Summerford
It is a relatively distant likelihood that you will be struck by lightning unless your name is Walter Summerford. Summerford was an athlete, which might have made it more likely for him to get hit by lightning, but it can’t explain why it happened to him three times in his life.
Walter Summerford
Even though he was not the very first person to be struck by lightning, he is well recognized for the unusual event of being struck by lightning. The burial mound where he was located was hit by lightning in 1916, four years after he had passed away. Summerford’s life was filled with such bad luck that his problems persisted even after he passed away. How insane!
