Top 8 People Living Strange But Happy Lifestyles
7. Real-life mermaid
Cassia Shells has been collecting mermaid dolls since she was a child. By the age of 29, her love for mythological creatures grew into something bigger than life. The girl put on a mermaid costume and started acting like she came from the ocean. If you look at her house, you’ll see that it also follows that deep-sea motif: shades of blue, fish scales, and mermaid tails everywhere. Also, a fun fact: Cassia is not allowed to swim in her get-up in public pools as the semi-rigid tail could potentially poke someone’s eye out.

8. The dirtiest man alive
Iranian hermit Amou Haji became famous for his revulsion towards personal hygiene. The man has not washed in the last 60+ years! The dirt-man claims that going to the shower will turn out to be a real disaster for him because he will immediately fall ill and die. Amou often sleeps outside or just basks in the sun, and his most cherished possession is a water pipe, which he uses for smoking. Also, the old hermit flat-out refuses fresh food and water, but the locals still watch over him.
