Telepathy and Scientific Research

Scientist and author Rupert Sheldrake has announced what is perhaps, the most famous example of telepathy and scientific research.

Sheldrake, a UK scientist, claims he has evidence of what he calls "telephone telepathy" - the phenomenon by which you think about someone and, lo and behold, the phone rings...

According to Reuters, Rupert Sheldrake reported on Tuesday the results of experiments which "proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even emails".

Sheldrake's guinea pigs gave researchers the names and phone numers of four relatives or friends. One of these was contacted at random and asked to give the subject a bell. Forty-five per cent guessed correctly who was on the other end of the line, Sheldrake told the annual British Association for the Advancement of Science shindig - "well above the 25 per cent you would have expected."

Sheldrake further commented:

The odds against this being a chance effect are 1,000 billion to one.

A similar test involving email yielded the same result, although the researchers' limited pool of testees - 63 for the phone and 50 for the email - coupled to the fact that only nine subjects were filmed across the two tests, prompted "some scepticism".

Sheldrake has vowed to continue his experiments, however, to prove what he believes is the "interconnectedness of all minds within a social grouping".

Next up for scrutiny is text message telepathy. Will more cases of telepathy and scientific research come to public light? We certainly hope so.

    I've been experiencing telepathy in the form of a psychic attack for several years. During this time I discovered a create deal about the variations and affects, mentally and physically, with actual verbal communication via the power of the mind as well as the power of suggestion through telepathy, which may be related to the "telephone telepathy" written in the article. I believe more people who are actually aware of this than one might think. It is time bring into the open. The people deserve to know the truth.
