Legendary snake handlers, Dewey Chafin holding rattlesnakes as his mother, Barbara (Barb) Elkins looks on during a service at the Church of the Lord Jesus, in Jolo, West Virginia. Also known as serpent handlers, they sing, speak in tongues, drink strychnine, pray and handle rattlesnakes during their religious service. They believe that the rattlesnake's poison will not harm them if their faith in God and Jesus is strong enough. (Photo by ANDREW HOLBROOKE/Corbis via Getty Images)
