The Black Vault - Bulgarian president calls investigation into lightning-hit home

The Bulgarian president has personally asked experts to investigate why a house has been struck by lightning nine separate times and always at the same hour of the day.

President Georgi Parvanov said that the house in the southern Bulgarian village of Truncha needed to be looked at after the latest lightning strike this week.

The owners of the house, the Cholakov family, have had two lightning conductors installed but the strikes have continued, local daily Monitor reported.

Zekir Cholakov said the strikes always come at the same time of the day - between 3.30 and 4.30 pm.

He said the family is now so scared that they have taken to spending most of their time in a tent in the garden and have buckets of water on hand in case lightning hits their house and starts a fire.
