I have read about her in one book (you can see it there rolleyes.gif ). There was said that she was once in a hospital and nurses saw her ability to recognize colors by fingers.
Later it was revealed that she has more powers like TK or mysterious ability to create small burn marks on peoples body and on the other hand ability to heal wounds and injuries.....

Many years ago, Nina Kulagina was featured on British TV on the news, it has always stuck in my mind. As far as I know it was not a hoax.

Viewing the video it is hard to see how she could con the cameras on the news when she was moving the things under the cases.

moving the items under the boxes was what really impressed me.....The skeptic in me though wishes there were a view beneath the table to make sure there was no trickery.....one of the most convincing vids ive seen regarding TK.

Here's an interesting link I found on the subject: Secrets of a Russian Psychic

Quote from the site:
As for Nina Kulagina, the conditions under which she operated were far from acceptable from the view of basic scientific standards. Tests were frequently carried out at her own home or in hotel rooms; no tight controls were ever applied, owing to the fact that a demonstration might take several hours of preparation (i.e. concentration by Nina) and even then, there was any guarantee of success. Also, when anyone who has a background in magicians' techniques watches these films, they cannot avoid the feeling that she is using standard conjuring techniques: a magnet hidden on her body to move the compass needle; a thread or a thin hair to move objects across the table; a small mirror concealed in her hand to read signs with numbers and letters being held behind her. Unfortunately, no expert in conjuring techniques was ever present at Kulagina's demonstrations.

Unfortunately, none of that explains how she moved the wooden matches underneath the glass case and the fact that the TV News cameras were filming her whilst she was doing this.

Sceptics will always try their hardest to debunk anything of this nature, this is probably one of the main reasons why on the whole the human race is no nearer to discovering anything about telekinesis or psychokinesis sad.gif.
