Nina Kulagina was a Russian woman who reportedly had great psychic powers, particularly in psychokinesis. During the Cold War, silent black-and-white films of her apparently moving objects on a table in front of her without touching them, supposedly demonstrating her abilities under controlled conditions for Soviet authorities, caused excitement to many psychic researchers around the world, some of whom believed that they represented clear evidence for the existence of psychic phenomena.
Nina claimed that in order to manifest the effect, she required a period of meditation to clear her mind of all thoughts. In this extended preparation time, some saw potential for trickery. When she had obtained the focus required, she reported a sharp pain in her spine and the blurring of her eyesight.
One of Nina's most celebrated experiments took place in a Leningrad laboratory on 10 March 1970. Having initially studied the ability to move inanimate objects, scientists were curious to see if Nina's abilities extended to cells, tissues, and organs. Sergeyev was one of many scientists present when Nina attempted to use her energy to stop the beating of a frog's heart floating in solution. She focused intently on the heart and apparently made it beat faster, then slower, and using extreme intent of thought, stopped it.
In the late 1970s, a near fatal heart attack forced Nina to scale back her activities. According to a report produced by Dr. Zverev, her heartbeat was irregular, she had high blood sugar, and her endocrine system was disturbed. Over the long term, she suffered from pains in her arms and legs, could not coordinate properly, and experienced dizziness. Puportedly, these symptoms were the result of her paranormal exertions, and limited her ability to demonstrate psychokinesis under controlled conditions.
