French woman reveals how her father tortured her for 18 years to make her 'superhuman'

A French woman Maude Julien who is also an author , recently revealed how her father tortured her when she was a child to try and turn her into a "superhuman".

Maude Julien revealed that he used to experiment on her to make her superhuman. She was forced to grab hold of an electric fence twice a week without showing any sign of pain or emotion — not even a blink — when she was just eight years old.

She used to be trapped at her father's isolated mansion in Northern France. She was forced to take brutal endurance tests ranging from being held over the edge of a cliff to being forced to drink whisky and walk in a straight line.

Julien was subjected to these tortures



because her father apparently wanted to create the "ultimate survivor." She also used to be routinely locked in a rat-infested cellar to "meditate about death", and was kept away from human contact.

In fact, her mother who lived with them was not allowed to even hug her.

"I really think that, without my animals, I wouldn't be alive today," she said.

Julien is now 60 and spent 18 years of her life being physically and emotionally abused by her paranoid father Louis Didier, according to her new memoir The Only Girl in the World.

"He was most definitely insane and an alcoholic," said Julien of her father, Louis Didier, who died in 1981 at age 79.
