In Soviet Union several cases have been reported recently of people who can read and detect colors with their hands, even see through solid doors and walls. One case concerns an eleven-year-old schoolgirl, Vera Petrova, who has normal vision, but who can perceive things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day, she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly, she asked her father why he kept so many old newpapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles.
Vera's curious tanlent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April, she was given a series of tests by a special commission of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these test, she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still, by moving elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it. And in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colors of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests, vera was blindfold, and indeed, expcept when blindfold she lacked the ability to perceive things with her skin. It was also found that although she was able to perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her fingers were wet.
