telepathyLiterally, "distance feeling." The term is a shortened version of mental telepathy and refers to mind-reading or mind-to-mind communication through ESP. The term was coined by psychical investigator Frederick W. H. Myers (1843-1901) in an 1882 article in the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research. Myers was a classical scholar and one of the founders of modern psychology.
