telepathy

Hi all, In the past I have participated in some experiments to determine whether telepathy exists and have obtained conclusive results that I am telepathic. Initially the University where the testing was done were very pleased to have someone who was so keen to participate in their telepathy...

I'll start by saying this is theory and only theory. Even if I do consider this to be something beyond science fiction bordering on the paranormal magical realm. I'm a scientist first, a skeptic second and a spiritualist third. Although some people have belief only as black and white. I believe...

As part of the continuing saga of telepathic dogs begun by Rupert Sheldrake many years ago, a new Web site has started up: http://dogsthatknow.com/ You can watch the first video, showing Tommy moving right over to his waiting spot as soon as his owner starts to return home. The dog has a...

I am hoping to find people here who don't pretend telepathy isn't real. In my experience almost everyone can do it, but never talks about it out loud. I don't understand why. My parents, siblings, friends, strangers, and former friends can all read my mind. They can all use my brain and...

I thought this was an interesting article. I didn't see it in any of the searches I did. Of course there are plenty of people who are now linking this to telepathic abilities in humans. "spooky" action at a distance. It will be interesting to find out how DNA does this though...

I just read a statistic in a magazine sourced to a Professor of Statistics at Macquarie University in Australia that 87% of people say they can sense when they are being watched. Being a spy or a private investigator must be harder than I thought! Leaving aside obvious cues, like hearing...

Thanks to this thread, I wondered what kind of paranormal power people would choose to have if paranormal power actually existed. (May have been done before, bad luck.) Personally, I'm going to have to think about it. Telekinesis appeals, but... Carrie. Telepathy appealed momentarily, but do I...

Next September my school is having a day devoted to the topic of "Viewpoint". I've convinced the science department to do how we view pseudoscience as part of our contribution! This is for 12 year old kids... I'm kicking the lesson off with some clips of science fiction and fantasy where...

I, myself, am not a mind reader, however; I did come across a man about 15 years ago who played a mind reading game on me. The Game: He asked me a set of 5 questions. Each of which I was to think of the answer in my head. He would then write down the answer, and then show me his answer...

I have received the raw data for a telephone telepathy experiment conducted in 2003. I'm interested in testing a few ideas I have about the experiment, but I need statisticians to help me out, because I am no statistician. The first thing I want to do is verify the statistics given by the...

Raymond Edward Powell, Jr. has completed the application process and is moving forward toward developing a testable protocol for his claim - which involves the ability to transmit images he is looking at into other people's minds. Powell will be using his own flashcards, and will be in separate...

While I am in general support of the aims of JREF, I was unimpressed by the Pigasus Award to Rupert Sheldrake for his telephone telepathy research (sorry, I've only just heard about this) and in particular for the justification provided for it. The justification provided is a link to the Sept 8...

Hello, Iv learned how to use my telepathic abilities 3 months ago. In those 3 months iv been talkin, sending imaginated pictures/movies like 4 hours a day. Now its really easy for me to communicate in any distance, with any human. If someone wants to believe share you photo and tell me what...

I've been hanging around here for quite a while, finding nothing but negative outcomes from scientific studies of the paranormal. Nontheless, all things woo will probably always interest me. I'd like to do a small experiment on e-mail telepathy. Who wants to try? Sensing the arrival of e-mail...

This dude who calls himself paveprorok over at youtube left a comment on one of my AC360 Browne Smackdown clips and I was wondering if anyone have any knowledge about him? Looks like he's applying with a variation of the Zener Cards.

Achau Nguyen who will be known as a previous challenger, is about to have another go! His prior attempt and details are covered in the above thread and alsothis one. I have been e mailed by Achau, who tells me that he is simultaneously challenging for the JREF million, a prize from some group...

A genuine telekinesiologist has joined the forum, here. I've invited him in here for a chat as his only three posts so far are in one of my dead threads.

Anyone over 25 and from the UK will probably remember the naff TV show That's Life, a sort of magazine style consumer show in which the hosts would go off and do battle with cowboy plumbers and such. The show would also feature people and their zany pets, for examples dogs saying "sausages" or...

Chris French is attempting to replicate Rupert Sheldrake's telephone telepathy nonsense. If you don't think it's nonsense (and you're in the UK), you can help out! Find out more here: http://ukskeptic.livejournal.com/185153.html

Sigh. For some reason it's not enough is it that a parrot is found to have remarkable speech: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3430481.stm Okay fine so far. And then, of course, the almost inevitable trip into lala land: Telepathy??? What? Telepathy, just thrown into the article for no...

Don't worry! I'm teaching the TRUTH about homeopathy. I was asked to teach a section of the General Studies A level (17-18 year olds) called "Science and Technology". The problem is, the syllabus is so open and vague that there only a tiny chance that anything we teach them will come up in the...

Flicking through some old magazines at my girlfriend's flat the other day, I began browsing through a 2005 copy of The Ecologist magazine and came across this article, thankfully archived on the web: theecologist.org/archive_detail.asp?content_id=515 The Ecologist is a fairly sensible...

Claim: I Claim to be able to mentally send thoughts to my friend, also my friend is able to send back thoughts. The thoughts are in the form of normal conversation thought, that is it's like normal conversation except it's thought. Proposed test: Put both my friend and myself in a sealed room...

Here is an experiment for those people who are seriously interested in taking the challenge. But it is more of a training run down. Two people work together on this, one person is the sender and the other is the receiver. The sender is asked to think up a number of memories she has about her...

Perhaps quite an important point in light of Randi's criticism. Randi says the sample sizes in Sheldrakes latest email telepathy experiment was small. Only 50 people participated. True. However, each person did about 10 trials, making the total number trials 552. The exact binomial test was...

Dr. Sheldrake will be Tommy Boyd's guest on his BBC Southern Counties Radio show on Monday, 11 September from 1 pm. They'll be talking about human and animal telepathy. Live streaming is available here. I'm not sure if it's available to non UK residents, but the Podcast is updated daily...

On 'Material World', BBC Radio 4, 4:30 - 5:00 with Quentin Cooper has just hosted a discussion on the subject of telepathy. Well worth listening to. I know this subject is somewhere else on the MBs but I can't spot it just at the moment. I recommend 'Listening Again'.

Should Randi expect a call from Rupert Sheldrake?

Link: Reuters News Story (via Yahoo! News) I especially like the quiet little disclaimer near the end. It would probably have been in fine print if the writer thought he could get away with it.
