  1. Roy Cleveland Sullivan (February 7, 1912 – September 28, 1983)[1][2] was a U.S. park ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.[2][3] Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them.[2][3] In his lifetime he gained "Human Lightning Rod" as a nickname.[4] On September 28, 1983, Sullivan died at age 71, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound,[1][2] reportedly distraught over an unrequited love.[5] Two of his ranger hats are on display at two Guinness World Exhibit Halls in New York City and South Carolina.[4] There is a road side plaque on Tanner's Ridge in Page County, Virginia that talks about Sullivan.[citation needed]

    [edit] The seven lightning strikes

    1942: Sullivan was hit for the first time when he was in a fire lookout tower.[3] The lightning bolt struck him in the leg and he lost a nail on his big toe.[4]

    1969: The second bolt hit him in his truck when he was driving on a mountain road.[3] It knocked him unconscious and burned his eyebrows.[4]

    1970: The third strike burned his left shoulder[4] while in his front yard.[3]

    1972: The next hit happened in a ranger station.[3] The strike set his hair on fire. After that, he began to carry a pitcher of water with him.[4]

    August 7, 1973: A lightning bolt hit Sullivan on the head, blasted him out of his car, and again set his hair on fire.[4]

    June 5, 1974: Sullivan was struck by the sixth bolt in a campground,[3] injuring his ankle.[1] It was reported that he saw a cloud, thought that it was following him, tried to run away, but was still struck.[3]

    June 25, 1977: The seventh and final lightning bolt hit him when he was fishing.[3] Sullivan was hospitalized for burns on his chest and stomach.
