backwards talking girl makes local news - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dean Winchester · 02-27-2005, 02:34 AM

every Friday, a local news station does a profile of extraordinary Kentuckians. Yesterday they spoke to a 17 year old high school junior who is fluent in speaking backwards. She's been studying the art of talking backwards since she was 8 years old.

They gave her a sentence to say, she said it backwards, and with the aid of a tape played backwards, it showed that she speaks backwards perfectly since in reverse, it sounded exactly like it would sound forward.

However, what's the point? it's not exactly like you can carry on conversations with people like that. Even though I bet it'd be cool to speak that way around kids.

lol that's cool. It could be a secret langauge for friends and twins and such.

I could never be able to do that. That person has talent.

Which affiliate was it? I'm trying to find the video [most stations carry most of their stories/features online now], and actually knowing which station aired it would help

I know it is. it'd be cool if I could do that, but, ah well

I wonder what the specific brain functions are that allow her to do this so easily? Based on the wording, it seems as though she's able to just do this off and on at will...doesn't sound like she's just memorized it all...wonder if it's a controllable form of vocal dyslexia, or something
