Guinness World Records Shares The Bizarre Incident Of 11-Year-Old Boy Sleepwalking for 160 km
Sleepwalking is a disorder that causes a person to walk while they are in a sleep-like state, as the name of the condition suggests. According to the Guinness World Records, there was a strange incident in which a little youngster sleepwalked almost 100 miles (160 kilometres) away from his home.

On Tuesday, GWR stated that the incident occurred 36 years ago, when Michael Dixon was discovered walking down a railway track near Peru, Indiana, in the United States. This location is in the United States. He had no shoes on and was only wearing his pyjamas when I saw him.

A member of the train crew saw the 11-year-old youngster around 2:45 in the morning on April 6, 1987, and they reported to the authorities that the boy was in an unusual state. Dixon told the police that he was from Danville, Illinois, in response to their question on his residence.

By joining a goods train from a station that was located close to his residence, Dixon was able to travel such a significant distance in the middle of the night. After some time had passed, he related his story to a social worker working for the Miami County Welfare Department. He stated that he did not recall getting on or off the train. A nurse attended to his injured feet, but other than that, he was completely undamaged. His feet had cuts all over because he was not wearing any footwear.

Soon after, Dixon’s mother was notified about her son’s whereabouts, and she hurried over to get him as soon as she could. According to an article that was published in The Ball State Daily News, Michael’s mother stated that the last time she saw her son was at ten o’clock at night, while he was still in his bed. She stated that he would sleepwalk, but he was never expected to leave the house because of this behaviour.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, sleepwalking is a common childhood disorder that, in most cases, resolves on its own by the time a child enters puberty.
