I haven't had chance to check up if this is true or a hoax but, if it is true ... wow! .

The effect certainly happens... whether that photo is true or not, I don't know.

Google "Lichtenberg Figures" and check under Images....quite a few photos of people with these. From what I read its from indirect current (nearby strike) vs being struck directly. Either way thats gotta hurt.
