Psychokinesis,
or the ability to manipulate objects with the mind, is notoriously
difficult to prove. Uri Geller achieved fame in
the 1970's with his amazing ability to bend spoons with
nothing other than the power of his mind. Early on in his career, a
number of scientists concluded that Geller does indeed posses psychic and psychokinetic abilities. However controversy over Geller's power
developed after a number of stage magician's, most recently Criss
Angel, claimed that Geller's abilities are simple stage magic tricks.
The strange case of Ninel Kulagina is far more difficult to debunk. A female soldier in the Soviet Red Army,
Kulagina found that whenever she became angry poltergeist activity
would manifest in the room around her. After some time, she began to
sense that the force that was responsible for the moving objects came
from within her, rather than from a spirit. She soon learned how to focus her power and move objects at
will. Soviet Scientist Edward Naumov was among the first to test her
claims by spreading a box of matches on a table. Straining to the point
of shivering, Ninel spread her hands over the matches and within
seconds the matches moved to the corner of the table in a cluster, and
fell to the floor one by one.
