DarthPlagueis,
I read something similar in Autobiography of a Yogi Chapter 18 (
http://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chap18.php ). In this chapter the feat was achieved by taking help of a spirit.
There are many kinds of supernatural powers as you may already be knowing. But no has yet beaten Randi's "one million dollar paranormal challenge" or my Rs. 4000 online challenge :p (my first thread on these forums). But I've myself experienced supernatural powers like many people on these forums would have.
