How did Vera discover she had this gift of cond sight?
Several cas have been reported in Russia recently of people who can read and detect colours with their fingers, and even e through solid doors and walls. One ca concerns an eleven-year-old schoolgirl, Vera Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also 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 newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles.暴瘦
Vera's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific rearch institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a ries of tests by a special commission

During the tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still, by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colours printed on it; and, in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colours of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar nsitivity. During all the tests Vera was blindfold; and, indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to perceive things with her skin. It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers this ability cead the moment her hands were wet.
