Telepathy
Telepathy is the claimed innate ability of humans and other creatures to communicate information from one mind to another, without the use of extra tools such as speech or body language. Considered a form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition, telepathy is often connected to various paranormal phenomena such as precognition, clairvoyance and empathy.
Telepathy has traditionally been treated within the context of particular religious concepts, which both extol the truth of non-physical (psychic) connectivity between human beings, and go on assert guiding rituals and principles which govern that communication toward positive human bonding traits such as love, friendship, and community.
Nearly all religions (by definition) embody aspects of "metaphysicality" within their doctrines, and for all of history, societal debates have often centered around the apparent disparity between a naturalist religious concept of "truth" and an emergent human rationality (ie. empirical-based belief) (which could largely be equivalent to disbelief according to traditionalist or dogmatic view.)
Very few anecdotal accounts of telepathy have been noted in many ancient cultures since historical records have been kept. In the Bible, some prophets appear to have the ability to see into the future (precognition). This seems to be a common claim from ancient and primitive people. But the sending and receiving of messages from individual to individual by mind alone is never mentioned at all. As with all psi phenomena, there is wide disagreement and controversy within the sciences, even within parapsychology, as to the existence of telepathy.
Ganzfeld experiments have received widespread attention in recent times, and some believe they provide strong experimental evidence.
Other experiments have been conducted by controversial biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who claims strong results. These include experiments into:
The 'sense of being stared at', in which the subject guesses whether or not he/she is being stared at by another person
Whether a subject can tell who is phoning them before picking up the receiver
Whether dogs can tell when their owners are about to return home.
