It is very commonly believed that twins may actually be more likely to have a psychic link than other people. It's certainly not all unusual, and I've met twins like this, where there obviously is an incredibly close bond between them - they'll finish off the other's sentences, they kind of walk in the same way, they have the same preferences and so on and so forth. The question we have to ask ourselves is can we explain what appears some to be possibly is psychic in other terms . The kind of factors you need to bear in mind are first of all is that twins -identical twins are genetically identical therefore they are quite likely to have very similar preferences, regarding the way they dress, the kind of people they like, the kind of people they are, and so and and so forth. And, on top of that you'll find because they the live together, they do have a very, very close understanding. They've been brought up together. You will find with any people who have a close bond of that sort - sometime you find it between lovers certainly in the early stages of the relationship, they kind of know what the other is thinking - they are on the same wave length. So you will get lots of situations where one will finish off a sentence for the other. Unfortunately that's all really kind of fairly anecdotal. If you put people in a situation where you test them under controlled conditions, then you can try and find out if they really do have any special type of telepathic link. Despite the anecdotal evidence, there's are lots where one twins apparently is in distress and the other twin reports that they knew something was wrong and so on is suggestive and does merit further study. At the moment the evidence being tested under controlled conditions with respect to twins doesn't support the idea that there is a true telepathic link between them.
