Five minutes after the experiment began, she stoped its beat entirely. When a second preparation was placed in the jar its beat was stopped in 23 minutes. (U) In other experiments, Mrs. Kulagina imprinted images on unexposed film sealed in black envelopes. During these experiments Sergeyev measured the energy around the psychic's body and found it to be half that of a non-psychic individual. This led Sergeyev to believe that she absorbs, or draws, energy from around her and then discharges it on the target object. (U) Mrs. Kulagina experiences considerable stress while she is being tested. Her pulse increases, as does her rate of breathing; she develops pain in her upper spine and the back of her neck. At the onset of her "activated" state she feels thirsty and has a taste of iron or copper in her mouth. During the activated state, she experiences occasional periods of dizziness and nausea. Her blood sugar level rises and within one hour following cessation of tests, a loss of weight (1.5 -— 2.0 lbs) occurs. She experiences less stress when alone, and claims to respond best in an atmosphere of friendly mutual trust and belief. Her PK ability is mood dependent (her mood and the mood of the observers) and she expends more energy in a hostile or skeptical atmosphere. The mechanical aspects of Mrs. Kulagina's PK effects are as follows: a. Size and shape are more important than the physical structure of the substance she is trying to influence. b. Weight and dimensions of objects she is trying to move are important; the weights vary from a few ounces to nearly one pound. c. She finds moving a vertical cylinder easier than moving a horizontal one. d. She causes no changes in the shape of soft objects during movement. , e. The direction an object moves depends on her will, and may be either toward or away from her. She can also cause rotational or vertical movements to occur. £. Kulagina's optimum field effect occurs at approximately 1 feet; her distance limit is approximately 3 feet and 4 inches, when the object to be influenced is 3 feet form the edge of the working surface. At these distances she is said to be able to move one object out of many, 45 Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500420001-2 STAT STAT
