Kirlian Photography: Building Your Own Equipment
Kirlian photography captures corona discharge on film, and you can build a working device from a battery, an ignition coil, and copper-clad board. The author, who has experimented with the technique since the 1970s, dismisses paranormal claims, explaining that most effects come from ordinary factors like skin resistance, humidity, and pressure. He also shares a simple circuit and tips for getting started with black-and-white film.
One must keep in mind that most observable Kirlian phenomena does not require any paranormal or bio-plasma field to be explained.

IIRC this was debunked as ...The plate/glass was not thoroughly cleaned between photos...
I.E. the leaf left residue on the glass.

"Kirlian's work was first made known to the general public in this country by a book published in 1970 by Shelia Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder titled "Psychic discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain""
Ha ha, the psychic 70's. And U.F.O.s, biorhythms…
(Loved the 1970's)
