Does this story make you beleive in telepathy?

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.

Each person in the trials was asked to give researchers names and phone numbers of four relatives or friends. These were then called at random and told to ring the subject who had to identify the caller before answering the phone.

"The hit rate was 45 percent, well above the 25 percent you would have expected," he told the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. "The odds against this being a chance effect are 1,000 billion to one."

I leave it as something that is possible. Personally, it has never happened with me.

yes i totally believe it , as i have experienced it many times
sheldrakes work in this field is wonderful

it all about energy and sure it's possible

How many people always guessed "that's my mom?"

Seriously, though, I wonder if pre-study baserates of the calls were taken into account. Doesn't sound like it. That'd be a pretty fatal flaw.

I heard that some people even know when people are praying for them even though no one told them that.

It doesn't make me believe in it, although I do believe something of the sort exists dormantly. I would need a much larger research and a higher percentage to satisfy my curiosity.
