The human Owl: There was a man who could revolve his head by 180 degrees
There was a man named "Martin Joe Laurello" who could revolve his head by 180 degrees. Martin Joe Laurello (born Martin Emmerling, circa 1886), also known by the stage names Human Owl and Bobby the Boy with the Revolving Head, was a German-American sideshow performer and biological rarity who could turn his head 180 degrees. He performed with groups such as Ripley's Believe it or Not, Ringling Brothers, and Barnum & Bailey. He also trained animals to do things such as acrobatics.
Laurello was born Martin Emmerling in Germany circa 1886. In 1921, together with a handful of other freaks from Europe, Laurello arrived in the United States. Laurello could turn his head 180 degrees. In the words of fellow sideshow performer Percilla Berjano, known as the "Monkey Girl", "Laurello could put his head all the way around". To accomplish this feat, he reportedly practised rotating his head for three years and also had to "dislocate various vertebrae". Being born with a slightly bent spine might have also aided Laurello in pulling off his act of flexibility.
For a period of time, Laurello was billed at the Bailey Circus as "Bobby the Boy with the Revolving Head". Laurello also worked at the New York City-based Hubert's Museum, mostly during the winter, as well as Ringling Brothers and Coney Island. During his stint at the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditoriums in the 1930s, Laurello managed to attract massive crowds. When performing, Laurello preferred to don a white shirt. He also trained dogs and cats to do acrobatic tricks.
He moved to America from Germany in 1921 and began performing with sideshows such as Ripley's Believe it or Not, Ringling Brothers, and Barnum & Bailey. Aside from turning his head around, Martin Laurello (formally Martin Emmerling) trained dogs to do acrobatics and was a ventriloquist.
When Laurello would turn his head around, he could not breathe, however he was able to drink. Laurello was at Robert Ripley's first ever Odditorium at the 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair and had performed at many Ripley's odditoriums in the 1930s.
His last recorded appearance was on the show "You Asked For It" on March 24, 1952. He died of a heart attack and was cremated in 1955, at age 70. The video below was taken from the movie "The Incredible Life and Times of Robert Ripley: Believe it or Not!."

The lady with 20 times better vision than average
There was a german woman named Veronica Seider had vision 20x better than average. She could identify people more than a mile (1.6km) away.
Veronica Seider, a German dentist, apparently had telescopic vision. In several demonstrations she showed that she could identify people from more than a mile distance. Seider also claimed that she could see the individual red, green and blue dots that make up the picture on a color television set.
The resolving power of the human eye is 0.0003 of a radian or an arc of one minute (1/60th of a degree), which corresponds to 100 microns at 25 cm (10 in). A micron is a thousandth of a millimetre, hence 100 microns is 0.003937, or less than four thousandths of an inch or 2.5 cm. The human eye can, however, detect a bright light source shining through an aperture only 3 to 4 microns across. In October 1972 the University of Stuttgart, then West Germany, reported that their student Veronica Seider (b. 1951) possessed a visual acuity 20 times better than average. She could identify people at a distance of more than a mile (1.6 km).

Life exists even after death
part of life even after death. The team
of researcher from Technische University, Berlin also said that they
came to this conclusion only after several clinical tests.
They have used “Almost dead
experience” process for this test. In this mechanism a patient can
be left at clinically dead situation for almost 20 minutes and then
they can be brought to alive again.
For the past four years the team has
tested this controversial process on 944 people. They have updated
that they have used a mixture of epinephrine and dimethyltryptamine
for this clinical tests. They have confirmed that the patients had
experienced no damage after these tests.
The team of researcher stated the
existence after life as an intermediate state between mind and body.
The people who has gone through this
experiment has difference experiences. Like some has said that they
have felt like they were separated from their body, other has stated
that they felt like they were much safer and lighter in weight. Some
has even said that they had seen a very soft ray of light.
Human chess in 1924, St. Petersburg, Russia

Note [source web]
Human chess is a form of chess in which people take the place of pieces. Human chess is typically played outdoors, either on a large chessboard or on the ground, and is often played at Renaissance fairs. Many human chess games are choreographed stage shows performed by actors trained in stage combat. When this is the case, piece captures are represented by choreographed fights that determine whether the piece is actually taken or not. Alternatively, the pieces may spar, following rules similar to those used by the Society for Creative Anachronism.
A costumed human chess game has been staged every two years on the second week in September in the Italian city of Marostica, near Venice since 1923. The game commemorates a legendary chess game played in 1454 by two young gentlemen in order to settle which of them would court the lady that both had fallen in love with.
