NORWICH (Reuters) - Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them -- now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.
Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.

Full Version: Telephone telepathy -- I was just thinking about you
Hmmmm, what about all those times that I thought of someone and they DIDN'T call me???? 
This happens to me so often. I'll think about someone and then they'll call wthin a few hours or days. Even people who I haven't heard from in ages.

The article.Idiocy. Heh. It seems like that, but just coincidental, because you always remember if it happend, and dont care if it didnt.

Peter Atkins, a chemist at the University of Oxford, said that work in telepathy was a waste of time.
"In this case there is absolutely no reason to suppose that telepathy is anything more than a fantasy," he said. "Whenever positive results have been reported in the past - and such reports are also feeble, down in the noise of chance - close scrutiny has revealed conventional explanations."

it happens to me, but with the Simpsons. I remember an episode and later that day or the next day, the episode comes on tv.
This happens all the time. Usually as I'm dialing Javier's number the phone will start ringing and it'll be him calling. This happens at least a few times a week.

Don't they say that if you want to be happy, you shouldn't surround yourself with people who are unhappy/whiny/b!tchy?
Maybe that's telepathy too.

My fiance is welcome to contact me telepathically , but I instructed him to kindly do it during my telepathic office hours, and recommended him to upgrade his transmitter to think more crisper thoughts.
I have that sort of thing all the time ... mostly when a random song I haven't actually heard in years starts running through my head for no reason, then I turn on the radio and that song is playing. Most recently it was "Like a Prayer" by Madonna. When was the last time you heard that one? I hadn't heard it in years, I think, but it was running through my head at work on Friday afternoon. Then my husband picked me up from work (I normally ride the bus) and the station we keep turned on in the car (that I hadn't heard in days, since I take the bus) was having an 80s weekend and the first song that came on was "Like a Prayer."
yes, the song running thru my head and then hearing it on the radio has happened to me more times than I can count. It always scares the heaven out of me.
it happens between me and george and sometimes my ma will call when im thinking of her
