If poltergeist don't exist who keeps putting a knot in my vacuum cleaner cord? My cat Satan? I don't think so.
Now as far as mind reading goes, I believe my mother could read my mind. Every morning we would play a game. I would take a Flintstone (or Chocks) vitamin and my mother would guess what color I took by reading my mind. I would concentrate on the color and my Mom would guess it. Now as a young skeptic, I didn't believe it. My first impression was that Mom looked the vitamin bottle and knew which colored vitamin was on top. So then I would hold the bottle under the table and shake it up and then take one out. She would guess correctly.
Experiment 2 I did was to think of a different color than the one I took. When I did that she would take a long time to guess, claiming she was having trouble. Sometimes she would guess the color I was thinking about, other times she would tell me I was thinking of a color other than the vitamin.
After that we stopped playing the game. They did have a guy on TV one time attempt to do ESP with the audience. He held up a number of cards and concentrated on the picture (shape) on the card facing away from the camera. Mom sent her answers in and had them all correct. If fact she got a letter back claiming she was correct on the answers, but then again a lot of people got them correct, but supposedly the percentage was higher than random guessing.
If fact neither me nor my sisters ever doubted that Mom could read our minds because she could tell us exactly what we were thinking.
