MOSCOW, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Moscow medical workers say a 16-year-old Russian girl possesses "dual vision" allowing her to see internal organs, Pravda reported.

Pravda said the girl, Natasha Demkina from Saransk, has already disproved several medical diagnoses without the benefit of x-rays or ultra-sound, and has not made any mistakes.

"Growing up, my daughter was just an ordinary child," Natasha's mother, Tatyana Vladimirovna, told Pravda. "Perhaps, she was just a bit more mature than other kids her age. Natasha started to talk when she was only 6 months old. At 1, she could already recite Pushkin and Nekrasov by heart. By 3, Natasha mastered the alphabet and learned to operate a snowmobile."

She added, "Overall, she was just a normal kid. Never was she able to see through humans!"

But according to Pravda, all that changed after she suffered complications from an appendectomy

Natasha said she hopes scientists will notice her and conduct all the necessary experiments.

"I have nothing to hide," says Natasha. "Let them experiment with me. Perhaps, they will be able to explain the nature of my secondary vision."
