1980s documentary claimed to capture human auras in a lab

The 1980s documentary that showed human 'bioenergy fields'

A documentary filmed in the 1980s claims to have recorded human auras using specialized cameras — those supposed bioenergy fields that traditional Chinese medicine associates with meridians and chakras. The images, captured using techniques derived from Kirlian photography, show how the aura changes according to a person's emotional and physical state. The video, circulating on Telegram, has revived the debate over whether these phenomena are real.

What does the documentary claim?

The recording links each of the body's energy centers (chakras) to endocrine glands and to frequencies of tonalidad, sound and emotion. According to its supporters, the Kirlian camera has evolved and can now film moving scenes, not just still photographs. This would represent a qualitative leap in bioenergy research.

Skepticism and fraud accusations

Not everyone buys it. Some call the video "garbage" and brand it a deliberate invention. They point out that there is no solid scientific evidence supporting the existence of the aura, and that the images could be the result of electrical effects or manipulation. The controversy recalls that surrounding original Kirlian photography, which many consider a technical artifact rather than proof of the paranormal.

The puzzling detail: while some see the documentary as confirmation of a hidden energetic reality, others see it as a nostalgic piece of 1980s staging. Official science still has not validated these fields, but the discussion, like the aura itself, refuses to die out.
