In 1939, Russian inventor Semyon Kirlian accidentally discovered Kirlian photography, which captures colorful 'auras' around living things through high-voltage electrography, leading to over 50 years of debate on whether these images reveal actual biofields or just electrical artifacts. This technique has influenced more than 1,000 studies in parapsychology, blending science and spirituality in ways that continue to fascinate researchers today.
