Freud on telepathy

It is a curious fact of history that Sigmund Freud, the no-nonsense realist who called belief in God delusional, was convinced of the reality of the phenomenon of telepathy.

The founder of psychoanalysis argued that while most tales of telepathic experiences are not credible, there remain a few which are hard to explain. His thought was that telepathy was a throwback to an earlier period of human evolution, an archaic means of communication later supplanted by the more useful verbal language.
