10-year-old Scottish boy Cameron can talk backwards fluently

HE'S either a child prodigy or this is a scene from The Exorcist. This 10-year-old kid can speak backwards. Fluently. And it's honestly freaking us out a little bit.

HOW'S this for a party trick?

The proud parents of a 10-year-old Scottish boy have discovered their son has a secret talent - he can speak backwards fluently.

They filmed their son displaying his amazing (but kind of creepy) skill via an iPad app that reverses speech, and uploaded the video to YouTube.

"This is my 10 year old Son, Cameron, talking backwards," reads the video's description. "We discovered he had this amazing talent a couple of days ago. Apparently he has been entertaining friends at school for a couple of months now!"

They get him to recite phrases like "I went outside to play on my bike today" and "I'm going to Canada for my summer holidays". Cameron instantly recites them backwards, and plays them back in their right order on his iPad.

He doesn't even flinch when translating the tongue-twisting "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"!
