When he awoke he was suffering from amnesia and reportedly spoke perfect English, a sudden and unexplained knowledge of English, a paranormal phenomenon known as xenoglossy.[3] As Kůs had just begun to study the English language, his team members were shocked to hear him speaking the language perfectly. However the effect did not last long and Kůs had no recollection of the incident after two days.[4]
