| Nina Kulagina manipulating the watch |
In the era of cold war between
the United States and the Soviet Union, the rivalry and prestige of both as a
super power was not only in technology or science but, believe it or not, also mastering
uncommon ability like telekinesis, the activity of writing with a pen without
hands, and other experiments that seek the power of mind over matter, in which
it will be used as a means of controlling and arming themselves.
One of the affected subjects of
the study named Nina Kulagina. The woman who was born in 1926, states that she
aware of her ability on the first time when she realized that the furniture in
her house was moving spontaneously when she got upset. She became famous when
the film that was smuggled out of the country shows how Kulagina can move small
objects in front of her on the table.
In the film Kulagina put her
hands a few inches above the objects and in a moment they will be moving.
Objects such as wooden matches, small boxes, cigarette, watches, glasses…all of
them were giving reaction due to high concentrations. Some objects redundantly
move even after she pulled her hand away. She also can separate the eggs in the
water, the white from the yolk, so easy.
Even one of the most famous
experiments raised in The Atticus Institute was currently conduct by Kulagina
in a laboratory in Leningrad on March 10, 1970 when she reaches the cells,
tissues, and organs such as the cessation of heartbeat of a frog. In the
experiment Nina focusing to make the frog's heart beat faster, making it slow,
then stop it altogether.
Kulagina phenomenon attracted the
attention of scientists from the University of Tasmania named Jurgen Keil who
makes unannounced visits to Kulagina’s home in 1974.
It was a friendly and
pleasant visit, recalls Jurgen Keil. In addition to their fine dining and
intimate conversation, Kulagina also show her strength without any preparation
before and what happened in that house was documented in the film.

| Nina Kulagina and the floating egg |
Kulagina amazing ability is then
provoked by the Soviets that they could do anything, even kill someone from a
distance because there’s no such thing like distance that can separate a target
from Kulagina’s telekinetic ability.
It was obvious that what was shown by
Kulagina made the Soviet seems to enter into a big leap era of mastering a new
weapon to put mental pressure for America. While Americans, on the other hand,
trying to prove what Kulagina did was a hoax, as well as searching for talent who
possessed what she had throughout the land of Uncle Sam.
Meanwhile other names
of the USSR then become 'followers' of Kulagina, Boris Ermolaev who’s able to
make small objects float and Alla Vinogradova who’s able to make objects on the
surface of a flat spin by itself.
Many are denied the power of
Kulagina, accused her as an imposter and do a lot of tricks on her performance.
But whether she’s for real or not, Kulagina succeed to reverse the pessimistic
attitude of scientists of the Soviet Union at that time about Psychokinetic.
Towards the end of her life
Kulagina seemed to lose her ability. Energy that she’d used to perform her
power was a cause of her heart attack in late 70s, at the intersection of
spinal pain, dizziness, blood sugar, and many other health problems. She
withdrew from laboratories and research activities until her death in 1990.
Is Telekinesis mystical or
something that can be learned?
Telekinesis term was given by scientists,
discovered in 1890 by a Russian-German researcher named Alexander Asakof,
derived from the two words “Tele” means remote and “Kinesis” means move.
Telekinesis or moving objects from a distance also can be explained
scientifically, can be studied, and trained as well. With practicing some
complicated concentration, ordinary people were able to generate the force,
ranging from moving small objects (Micro Telekinesis) to large objects (Macro
Telekinesis).
Micro Telekinesis is used to move
small objects or affect the movement of a calculator or a random number
generator. While Macro Telekinesis practiced to manipulate large objects such
as opening a window or heavy objects like chair, table, or even a car.
Nina
Kulagina was a prominent figure in the Macro Telekinesis. Beside Boris Ermolaev
and Alla Vinogradova there are also several other names that have the power
that almost the same as Kulagina had, they are:
1. Willy Brough
The Turlock, California, boy whose able to ignite a fire by looking at them. As a result, he had to accept the
harsh reality being expelled by his family for allegedly possessed by evil
spirits. When a farmer took care of him and send him to a new school, Willy
Brough could only last a day in that place because his sight brings wildfire
through five classrooms at once.
2. Benedetto Supino
He got the world attention in
1982 when he burned comic books that he read in the dentist's waiting room.
Since that time several fires from her home furnishings occur.
Supino always
burned an object when he stared at it seriously. He felt ashamed and depressed
in her ability. Scientists found nothing wrong with him. They couldn’t help him
much until he met parapsychology names Demetrio Croce who finally taught him to
control her powers.
3. Jennie Bramwell
The orphaned Jennie Bramwell seemed
had lot of bad luck. Just a few weeks after the Dawson family, adoptive
families in Ontario, take him home there have been many minor accidents such as
fire engulfed the ceiling, walls, furniture, and even the family pet cat.
4. Ben Underwood
Losing a sight at the age of 3
years due to eye cancer, Ben Underwood trained his senses to replace the sight.
Uniquely Ben didn’t hone it with hearing as other blind people did but with
ultrasonic waves emitted from the clicking sound of tongue.
Thanks to this
capability, Ben becomes good in rollerblading, skateboarding, basketball,
karate, and even video games. His ability also inspired Marvel to create a
character of Daredevil.
5. Vicky Gilmour
The 19-year-old girl was in the
ladies of discotheque closet in Darlington, Durham Country, England when
suddenly she was on fire. People trying to help before she got burned to death
and it required a lot of skin grafts to restore Vicky.
Many thought she was
burned by cigarette ember that burns a thin dress that she wears. With that
belief, a consumer protection organization tried to light on the dress with a
cigarette but produced only a thin smoke.
6. Michael Crichton
This Jurassic Park author's
best-selling novel could bend spoons with his mind once. It was when he’s visiting
a bend spoons party, which was described in his book, Travels, that published
in 1988.
Crichton admitted he did not know how could that happened but it was
not something contrived for children at the party can do so and they seemed
surprised. Children won’t lie, would they? However, because of its strength
occurs spontaneously in that party, he couldn’t do it again on another
occasion.
7. Deke
A retired workers toll roads in
China who’s able to manipulate his body like a magnet, he could attract metal
objects to stick to his body, even to pull a car. He was able to make his body
as an electrical conductor voltage of 220 volts that can be electrically
installed without experiencing side effects.
He ever hang six lamps that lit at
the same time, even setting the bright lights according to his decision as what
Bolt characters that appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine could do.
8. John Chang
A guy with Indonesian-Chinese bloodlines
who’s got very famous in the world because of his ability of telekinesis,
pyrokinesis, and telepathy that he’d study for about 18 years. What he’s
capable of was recorded by a Greek writer, who also the disciple of Chang,
named Danaos who published a 208 pages book titled, The Magus of Java: Teachings of an Authentic Taoist Immortal.
The book highlighted remarkable
even in many internet forums, in 1988 Chang has been invited to perform at one
of the American TV in a documentary program titled Ring of Fire where they
taped Chang doing the paper burn with his bare hand.
Unfortunately, the book
discusses a lot about telekinesis except Chang’s identity so there are short
people who come to Chinatown in Jakarta to seek for him managed to do that in
person. Even today nobody knows whether Chang still alive or dead already.
