A rather compelling example, since (1) there was a big crowd of witnesses, and (2) he allowed the press to inspect and walk around him and take photos, and (3) it was done in broad daylight and in an open area, not on a stage or anything like that.

But Yogi Pullavar is hardly the first. There've been many reported in history - for example, Jesus walking on water. Another chap was Daniel Dunglas Home, who levitated a few hundred times, across a period of 40 years, in all sorts of different places, in front of all sorts of people, including all the most famous and respectable people of those days (Napoleon III; Queen Sophia; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle etc.

A much less impressive, but much more recent example is Nina Kulagina, a Russian psychic whose various psychic powers led the KGB to try to use psychics for espionage purposes, and probably led to the CIA deciding to do the same as well.

Nina had a very wide range of psychic powers, just like Matthew Manning once did, but as she grew older, the range of powers shrunk, just as it has for Matthew Manning (Matthew uses his powers only for healing now). Amng other things she could levitate small objects but never on Mathew's scale (Matthre as a young man generated poltergeistic activity - cupboards slamming etc).

Anyway, here is a video of Nina in action, in her younger days (she's dead now):

But these people couldn't stop a plane from falling out of the sky. So what if they can levitate their bodies...that is just showing off,not helping humanity in any way. Like psychics, I don't like when they can supposedly tell you when you will get married or win money,but they "can't" predict and stop bad things from happening. I still don't believe anyone could prevent an airplane from crashing or a building to stop burning. Thats all my point was.
