  I think that ESP is a very interesting concept. I agree with the statement above that I think this may be a phenomena that will never fully be understood.

  I think that you did a very good job on your blog, but personally when it comes to articles and claims such as this, I have a hard time believing in them.

  Even though it goes against logic, there was a point in time that the idea of ESP fascinated me. In 6th grade I did my own "esp" study. Now looking back, I know it was merely chance that other students were getting any correct, but it was very cool at the time....
