telepathy

Good afternoon fellow skeptics. Just wanted to let you know that the search for the paranormal is now over. We have official proof of telepathy! This article proves it. Man! Who would have thought that Interesting Ian was right all this time, eh? ....Wait, what's that? Oh... That's not...

BBC: Note "impossible" to cheat. Anyone see any problems with this?

Read this It was listed on Slashdot, along with a little comment about how they could win the JREF prize if they can prove it. Researchers have developed a Virtual reality version of the ESP cards to test telepathy. Reading the story I already see one flaw in their testing procedure...

Anyone have a view on Sheldrake's experiments on psi and emails? Apparently people can guess who is going to email them, greater than chance: As I recall, his experiments on staring were criticized for poor randomization. Anyone know anything about this?

I have not received his paper application yet, but he sent me a copy via e-mail, which was a nice gesture. While this looks like an unusually straightforward application, we cannot accept it because he has changed paragraph 7. We cannot vary on our condition that no rules be changed or altered...

Here's the link: wwwDOTworldtelepathycupDOTcom Sorry for the format, but I haven't posted enough to share the link, apparently... I haven't looked into this in depth, so it could be a joke, but I have a feeling that the people sponsoring it are serious.

Hello skeptics. Today I mailed my application form for the challenge. I am claiming to have the ability to read my friends thoughts. I am claiming that we have telepathy. I am very certain of this because this has been like this for over a year.

This claim arrived in December 2005, but it was not notarized. I responded by advising the applicant of the rules regarding notarization, and told him to re-submit a notarized application. About 10 days later I received the same application, once again without notarization, and without any note...

This guy is going to go to court and ask them to verify his psychic powers? Wow I hope he posts an update afterwards. If the lawyer is convinced of his powers will his child support skyrocket? Its usually not a good idea to prove that you have the potential to effortlessly earn millions at a...

I can send my thoughts telepathically to anyone in the room. For example, I could read any (English) passage from any book and everyone in the room would know what I had read, even if they couldn't see me...say were blindfolded. This capacity is apparent immediately. -Chris Green p.s. As then...

Obviously, it doesn't seem like telepaths exist among humans, but imagine there's an sentient alien species out there, is it possable that a brain could develop with telepathic abilities? Maybe some sort of bio-radio transmitter and reciever. And if so, if we found those aliens we would likely...

This claim arrived in the year 2000 and was handled by my predecessor, Andrew Harter, as follows: Dear Foundation People, I learned about the JREF this August 3rd, and your web page the 7th. I was very interested right away. My only paranormal ability is mental telepathy. I can easily...

From Lichtenstein, courtesy of a fellow I shared a rather confusing series of emails with in January, 2005. The claim is that every unprejudiced person can transfer information instantaneously over a distance of at least 3 meters by using the pansychistic aspect of elementary particles (see...

I did a couple of searches and it appears that this article has not been discussed here. The link contains claims of statistically significant results from double blind tests for telepathy between species. It even claims publication in a peer-reviewed journal. It also involves Sheldrake...

See the thing is, people who stick to simular DNA when wanting a family usually make a good balance between families or non-disfunctional. Unsually,close families ar only disfunctioal because they are all to much alike and can't tell their thoughts from one another. This causes them to be even...

Dear Mr. Randi, The first requirement will be that these tests will be performed in a lead-lined room. I plan to demonstrate the ability to read minds. An independent individual will be chosen to read a page of material to himself and/or out of my hearing range, and I will tell Mr. Randi the...

Dear Mr. Randi, My claim is that anyone can read my mind at anytime they like. This can happen at any distance or through any obstacle except for the obstacle of refusal to admit the phenomenon. Verification of this power depends entirely upon the desire to reveal it on the part of the person/s...

This application arrived in 2000 without a claim letter, but with the following: ============================================== Description of what will constitute the demonstration. Any kind of remote sensing will do. I can telepathise anything that comes into my mind. Including thoughts...

Remember Rupert Sheldrake's telephone telepathy experiments? Well, we've had a failure to replicate: http://www.parapsych.org/papers/21.pdf ~~ Paul

The first communication we received from Mr. Johnson came without an application in May 2004. ========================================== I will demonstrate the form of telepathy in case useing another person. Then will I inform a person in another room the aspects of what I'm doing or holding...

I just got it at a used book store! 1938 and it's great! I can't wait to get to the chapter entitled, "Problems of Reception". It's not SENDING that's the problem. It's the whole reception thing that's messing everyone up! In 1882 at the first meeting of the Society for Physical Research...

we all know how a radio works, couldnt it be possible that a brain would be modified in a way to receive and send radiowaves sometime in the future? there is already a way that brainwaves are meassured to give easy commands like left and right. so one could implant a sender to transmitt this...

OK, here's an interesting thought experiment. We all know that telepathy is as bogus as other so-called psychic phenomena. My point in this post is to discuss whether or not it is even physically possible. We discard all the usual nonsense with regard to a phenomena that doesn't degrade with...

To whom it may Concern, I, Julli Ann Henning, can demonstrate that I have a form of telepathy - not clairvoyance. I can not see objects that are hidden from my eyes. Rather, I have a gift that allows me to "speak" to people telepathically. I cannot, repeat CANNOT hear or know what people are...

Apologies to those without access to this paper. I'm unsure about the copyright rules here so I'll tentatively quote this small passage from: " E.A. Novikov. Modeling of consciousness. Chaos, Solitons and Fractals (article in press)"...

Claus, I have been browsing your Sceptic Report site and although I admire all efforts in bringing to light the rising tides of nonsense that's out there, I think that the article "Analysis of a telepathy test" by Per Johan Rasmark paints an incomplete picture of research into telepathy. Perhaps...

Paul Carey applied for the Challenge several months ago, but many problems stood in the way of his being tested. His caustic wit (manifest in his clear disdain for all non-believers) does not endear him to those with whom he hopes to communicate, least of all me. Upon acceptance of his claim...

OK, I randomly selected a zener card. A cut out of the symbol is in front of me now, and will remain next to my keyboard for the next 3 days which is the time period when the poll will be open. Here are what the 5 symbols look like. The 5 symbols are called Square, Star, Cross, Waves, and...

On August 3rd 2004 I received a Challenge application from New Zealand with the following scribbling all over it: ============================================ CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE YOURSELF! TELEPATHY! SPEAKING TO PERSON/PEOPLE WITH MY MIND SEEING! FOR A BLIND PERSON/PEOPLE WITH MY...

Hi. My name is Kevin Emerson. I will be demonstrating a form of ESP - telepathy. An actual sending of words or phrases to another person's mind. (really) This person will be sitting or standing 10-20 feet away from me. I will either...a) Use apre-memorized list of words and phrases, then send...
