Features
34 The Twin Thing (Cover Story)
Indentical twins have often exhibited abilities suggestive of telepathy, but scientists have remained unimpressed. Guy Lyon Playfair argues that his own experiments provide the best evidence to date.
39 Attack of the Pod People (sidebar)
As alike as two peas! Bob Rickard reviews some recent accounts of twins in the light of Guy Lyon Playfair's 'twin telepathy' theory.
42 That Synching Feeling
Lucia Ring-Watkins examines Jung's theory of an acausal connecting principle - otherwise known as synchronicity.
46 The black tide of mud... (sidebar)
David Sutton argues that Jung's theory of synchronicity was partly fuelled by his life-long interest in the paranormal - an interest that contributed to his split with Freud and guided much of his later life and work.
48 Shock to the System
Why was a Somerset pensioner plagued by weird electrical phenomena and mysterious men-in-blakc? Bill Love investigates.
