Telepathy

/təˈlɛpəθi/ noun

Definition

The supposed ability to communicate thoughts or feelings directly from one person's mind to another's without using words or other senses.

Etymology

From Greek 'tele-' (distant) plus 'pathos' (feeling or suffering). Coined in the late 19th century as spiritualism and psychology explored the boundaries of the mind.

Kelly Says

Telepathy has never been scientifically proven, but the fact that we keep trying to study it shows how mysterious the human brain still is—we can't explain intuition or why twins sometimes seem connected!
