Twin telepathy

Although the idea of a special connection between identical twins is part of our folklore, remarkably little research has been carried out in this field. In 'Twin Telepathy: The Psychic Connection', Guy Lyon Playfair has produced an overwhelming body of evidence indicating that there is indeed a special connection between twins.

Much astonishing evidence is published here for the first time, including the following startling stories:

1.A three day old baby alerts his mother to his brothers life-threatening crisis just in time.

2.A four-year-old girl buens her hand on an iron; simultaneously, her sister suddenly develops a blister of the same size in exactly the same place.

3.A man staggers and slumps into a chair clutching his chest at the exact moment that his twin brother - 30 miles away - is shot dead.

Yet this is not simply a collection of case histories. Playfair also makes a bold attempt to provide a new way of looking at the mystery of telepathy. Indeed, as he explains in clear, nontechnical language, scientists may already have come close to solving the mystery of the twin connection - and telepathy in general - without realizing it. As Stanley Krippner, a past president of the Parapsychological Association and one of today's leading authorities on all aspects of psychical research puts it:

"Twin Telepathy reads like an intriguing detective story. Those who read this book may never view twins or the cosmos, in the same way again."
