What is it

Kirlian Photography is a way of photographing an object so that different degrees and colours of an “aura” surround the object in the photo. This aura seen is used to tell the condition, general well-being of a person and the properties of objects. In 1939, engineer Semyon Kirlian got too close to a live electrode, which was in an electrical device. The visible flash of light and electric shock interested him, and so he went on to repeat the process several times, but he used light-sensitive paper to capture the flash. When developed, the photos showed a glow around fingertips and other objects, which came into contact. Kirlian photography has been used by some medical practitioners to diagnose cancer, psychological problems etc. Although this form of diagnostics and Kirlian photography both have their advocates, the use of it in the medical field is still not popular, with controversy surrounding it.

What is believed to have happened

What scientists believed 

Scientists has no explanations for this mystery. 

Conclusion

Kirlian photography has yet to be proved to be vastly accurate, nor is it proven that the light surrounding an object tells anything about the object. However, there is a possibility that Kirlian photography will have its place and time in the future, when it can be scientifically proven.
