Researchers claim that while many people have strange, even bizarre experiences in their lives, almost all can be explained by coincidence. Psychologists Dr Richard Wiseman, an expert in the paranormal from the University of Hertfordshire, and Dr Julie Milton, came to their conclusions after looking at 1,200 published scientific investigations into telepathy from all over the world. After going through the results, they found that they were exactly what you would expect from pure chance alone.Under these rules volunteers sit on their own in a room with half ping-pong balls over their eyes and a strong red light to stop visual distractions. In another room a second volunteer is given a picture and instructed to concentrate on it and transmit the image mentally to the other person. After 20 minutes the first volunteer is shown four pictures and asked to nominate the correct one. Dr Wiseman found that only 27% of the pictures were correctly identified. Although this was slightly more than the 25% you would expect from chance, the difference was not statistically significant.Some strange events which may seem fantastic are actually statistically not so unlikely. For instance, if there are just 24 strangers in a room, there is 50/50 chance that two people will share the same birthday. If these two meet, it will seem like a coincidence.Dr Wiseman has studied the phenomenon of people who dream about death, and then have a close relative or family member die the next day. But in a UK population of 60 million, two people will have this frightening experience each week. It may seem like a premonition, but in fact they have just been unlucky.
