Ted Serios is not a normal person. He was in his mid-forties when he was introduced to Jule Eisenbud, Professor of Psychiatry at Denver Medical School in 1963. During the next several years, Eisenbud showed that Serios had the bizarre ability to produce images on film by simply staring into a camera. Together, Eisenbud and Serios produced more than two hundred of these "thoughtographs". Most of them were images of buildings, landscapes, people, and machines. The thoughtographs were created under carefully controlled conditions and the process was observed by many witnesses, some of whom were very skeptical of Serios' claimed abilities. The experimenters were careful to exclude the possibility of fraud by using methods such as medical examinations and X-rays. They even put Serios in a straightjacket and removed all of his clothes. No one has ever been able to give a satisfactory explanation for the pictures that Serios and Eisenbud made.

What is the main idea of this passage?
During colonial times, most colonists had their clothes custom made by tailors. A tailor is a person who makes, alters, or repairs garments, including suits, coats, and trousers. Tailors worked in their shops to create clothing for colonists. The fabrics they used were made from linen, wool, or silk. Each garment was created specifically for each customer. Tailors used many tools when working with their fabrics to create garments. Pins were used to keep the fabric pieces together. Needles were used with thread to sew pieces of fabrics together. The tailor used a measuring tape to measure their customers to make sure their garments fit properly. A tailor was an essential trade of colonial times.
