What if your thoughts could burn themselves onto film?
In the 1960s, a Chicago bellhop named Ted Serios claimed he could do exactly that — project mental images directly onto Polaroid photographs through sheer psychic will. Backed by psychiatrist Dr. Jule Eisenbud, Ted’s “thoughtography” experiments produced hundreds of images that defied explanation… or at least, seemed to.
Was he a fraud? A genius? A man channeling something no one could explain?
In this episode, we dive deep into the rise and fall of Ted Serios — from the electrifying experiments that shook the scientific world to the paranoia, obsession, and psychological decay that followed.
Join Victus as we peel back the layers of a case that still baffles researchers and skeptics alike — a story where science meets belief, and the mind itself becomes the camera.
📸 Was Ted Serios a con artist—or did he capture the impossible?
You decide.
