According to Dr. Eisenbud's book:

Ted Serios exhibits a behavior pathology with many character disorders. He does not abide by the laws and customs of our society. He ignores social amenities and has been arrested many times. His psychopathic and sociopathic personality manifests itself in many other ways. He does not exhibit self-control and will blubber, wail and bang his head on the floor when things are not going his way.

He exhibits strong hostility toward figures of authority, such as policemen and scientists. He is an alcoholic and in psychic experiments he has been encouraged toward the excessive use of alcohol. He has demonstrated the symptoms of a manic-depressive with manic episodes. In one hypermaniacal period he acted like a violent madman and could not be restrained.

He often becomes profane and raging, completely reckless. While depressed he ignores other people, has a far-away look and is disenchanted with everything. He is always bored with talk unless it is about him. He often imagines himself a hero, and sometimes identifies with a violent known personality. He also exhibits sadistic behavior, for example by embarrassing Dr. Eisenbud once, giving as his own Dr. Eisenbud's name and his profession (a psychiatrist) when arrested.

In spite of the questionable research methods and the personality quirks of Serios, a number of Denver professional men believed Ted Serios was a pyschic, with a unique power to record his thoughts with a Polaroid camera.

I believe it was a simple trick performed after numerous distractions over a period of several hours. See the next page for details-----
