In the English Wiki, in the telepathy article there is a link to a site Skeptdic.com where under telepathy there was a letter from a reader which described a situation which, if accurately reported was very clear evidence of telepathy.

[http://www.skepdic.com/comments/psicom.html exchange] in question between Bruce and Carrol seemed to be of a totally different character at first. Upon reflection, I grant that he is right given Bruce's likelihood, regardless or even because of the state of his stated family relations, of a relatively high probability of the events in question. Still in spite of the justified nature of the act of skepticism in question I sense that it may be in this and similar cases be wrong.
