Nelya Mikhailova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nelya Mikhailova (Cyrillic: Неля Михайлова) (b. 1927) is a Soviet psychic who apparently "sees" with her fingers and can move small objects by the power of her mind. Nelya Mikhailova served in the Tank Regiment of the Red Army and took part in the defense of Leningrad against the Germans in World War II when she was only 14. A plump, attractive woman with dark expressive eyes, Mrs. Mikhailovva discovered her psychokinetic powers when recovering from battle injuries in the hospital at the end of the war. She recalls: "I was very angry one day and I was walking toward a cupboard when suddenly a pitcher moved to the edge of the shelf, fell, smashed to bits." But unlike most people plagued by poltergeist, Nelya Mikhailova found she could control the energy. Her psychokinetic powers were tested and confirmed by Edward Naumov, a biologist at Moscow State University, and other scientists. Dr. Gerady Sergeyev, a neurologist at the Utomski Institute, Leningrad, set up numerous tests which revealed among other things that Mrs. Mikhailova has a magnetic field surrounding her body only 10 times less than that of the earth itself. She also has an unusual brain wave pattern which generates 50 times more voltage from the back of her head than from the front, while most people generate only three to four times more. After psychokinetic experiments, such as one in which she separated the yolk from the white of an egg by will power, she loses several pounds in weight and is physically and emotionally exhausted. When convalescing in a Leningrad hospital in the 1960s, Nelya Mikhailova found she could "see" the colors of her embroidery threads with her fingertips, and these powers were later tested by Dr. Leonid Vasiliev, a Soviet pioneer in psychic research.^[1]
