>Telephone Telepathy Proven Real?

Telephone telepathy may be proven to exist, according to scientist Rupert Sheldrake. Telephone telepathy is something that many people experience where after thinking about someone, you receive a telephone call from them. Coincidence?
Sheldrake thinks not.

Sheldrake claimed on Tuesday he had tested his telephone telepathy theory out, and it proves that such premonitions really do exist for phone calls and e-mails.

Sheldrake had the people being tested give researchers four names and corresponding numbers of relatives or friends. The numbers were called randomly where the recipient would be asked to call the person being observed. The subject then had to predict which relative or friend was calling.

Sheldrake told British Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting, “The hit rate was 45 percent, well above the 25 percent you would have expected.”

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

The well-known scientist also discovered the same findings with e-mails.

The telephone and email control groups were small, consisting of only 63 and 50. Hopefully he’ll conduct a larger experiment somewhere down the road.

But I knew it was never a lucky guess.

Didn’t you? Haha.
