00:00France, 18th century. The birth of Tarrer, the man who never knew satiation. Imagine a man who could eat a
00:11meal meant for 15 people and still hunt for more. Regular food wasn't enough. He ate stones, corks, even live
00:22animals.
00:23His family kicked him out because he ate their entire food supply. He joined the army, but rations for four
00:31soldiers didn't even touch his hunger. Doctors were horrified. They watched him swallow a live eel whole.
00:40The army tried to use him as a spy, making him swallow secret messages in wooden boxes, but hunger betrayed
00:48him. He was caught scavenging for food in the trash. He escaped back to the hospital, but things took a
00:54terrifying turn.
00:56A baby disappeared from the ward, and everyone pointed their fingers at Tarrer. He was chased away to die alone.
01:06The autopsy revealed something never seen before. His stomach was massive, filling his entire body. Was he human or a
01:16black hole?
