Do streetlights turn off when you pass by them or beneath them with a high degree of regularity? If so, you could be a "SLIder" -- SLI standing for the "street light (or lamp) interference" phenomenon. There's an ongoing debate as to whether this is a genuine psychic effect or if the street lights turning off (which they sometimes do when they are in need of repair) when people pass by them is just a coincidence. However, there is evidence that certain people do have an adverse effect on watches, lights and other electrical appliances. Is there a connection? Read more.

One of the most persistent and entertaining types of ghost stories is that of the phantom or vanishing hitchhiker. It's also one of the most chilling because, if true, they bring ghosts in very close contact with mortals. More disconcerting still, the stories depict the spectres as looking, acting and sounding like living people - even physically interacting with the unsuspecting drivers who pick them up. Read more.

"I had this friend a while back who disappeared for a while," reports Veronica S. "One morning after waking up (I was awake for 30 minutes already), I was sitting on the edge of my bed and suddenly saw this friend walk into my room saying my name. When I looked up, his image disappeared. Immediately I thought, this must be a sign.

"Three months later, the friend sent me a request on a social networking site. We began to hang out and be friends again. I have even telepathically spoken to this friend. I told him one time to come to my place and spend the night, and he did. I also got a telepathic message from him that he was going to text me soon, and about 30 minutes later he did. I wonder if he senses me writing this story right now."

Thanks for that report, Veronica. Telepathy seems to be strongest between people who have a close, personal connection: siblings, parents and children, husband and wife; the telepathic connection between twins is especially well documented.
