Braco (faith healer)

Josip Grbavac (born on November 23, 1967), better known as Braco (Croatian pronunciation: [brǎːt͡so]),[1][2] sometimes called "The Gazer",[3] is a Croatian self-styled "healer". He does not touch, speak to, diagnose, or treat the people who come to see him — rather, he stands on a platform and gazes.[3][4] He avoids direct claims to have the ability to help people with his eye contact, but it is strongly implied and supporters report it causing improved well-being.[2]
