ESP test between triplets on tv station 3 (ITV) in the UK just now!

I just watched a program about identical triplets in the UK, most of the show was just fluff really nothing interesting, just the triplets talking about their experiences and seeing if people can tell the difference between the triplets if they switched places.

But there was a interesting part which was to do with these 3 male triplets from the UK.  They put all these sensor things on their head to read there like emotions etc...  And the triplets were almost entirely emotionally in tune, with the way their emotions work.  Only slight differences (when compared to the emotional make up of 2 random humans).

After this they did a test to test for ESP (physic connection between triplets).  None of the triplets believed this existed.

Right now time for the test to start (the triplets didnt know at this time what they was been tested on). 

Each triplet was put into a room on his own, and given head phones and i think blind folds.  2 of the triplets listened to music while the third one was involved in a game, where he had to press a button at a certain time and if he failed he would get a electric shock.  While this was happening the scientists were reading data from the sensors looking for reactions etc...

The triplet playing the game was shocked 2 or 3 times.

Later on the scientists compared the readings from the sensors on all 3 triplets, and saw that every time the triplet got shocked, his 2 siblings had a subconscious reaction at the same time as the shock, and this happened every time he got shocked.

So this experiment would suggest there is some sort of link subconsciously between the triplets.

This does open my mind abit to certain theories and ideas about physic abilities and the nature of our universe.

It was interesting

Does anyone else know anything about this ESP sort of thing?

Sounds interesting, what was the name of the program by the way?

It was called "Identical Triplets: Their Secret World" and this is a review:

But the most surprising thing, the scientific investigation into the much-vaunted supposition that triplets can communicate in a way no other humans can - through some sort of extra-sensory connection - came up with a startling conclusion.

With one of the Sutton boys wired up to a games machine which would deliver electric shocks if he made a wrong move, and the other two boys in completely separate rooms, out of sight and hearing of each other, their monitors showed a clear correlation in physical reaction both times the first lad received a shock. Even though the other two were not consciously aware of anything happening, the graphs rose and fell in perfect harmony. Quite astonishing.

I was disappointed that they didn't test them more than 2 shocks.  But the graphs for their responses were IDENTICAL, including identical glitches at the times of the two "shocks" (they didn't make it clear if they tested them for more than two shocks).  Had this been repeated numerous times with the same results it would be very strong proof, but they just glossed over it.

I saw a similar test performed on identical twins on "Richard and Judy" with the same results.  I think one twin had his hand plunged into icy cold water and the other twin, wired up, showed small but definite responses at the exact same time his brother got "iced".  Once again it was only done once or twice. The person who performed the test had performed it before and was just demonstrating the effect on TV.  Once again, it was under-played.

This is a really promisng line of research and I wish they would do much more of it... it appears to be a reliable effect from what little I've seen of it on TV...

I just found this about the Richard and Judy program:

And a couple of posts quoting the same info

Well yeah, it was a very interesting experiment...

It doesnt bother me if twins and triplets have a connection or not..  It  is interesting tho, who knows if it works every time, it might it might not.  But even just doing the shock twice is amazing that all 3 triplets got the subconscious reaction.  And that thing with the twins on richard and judy.

So unless they what, did this experiment millions of times until they got the data that they wanted and ignored 1 million failed attempts lol.

Yet again i dont see any reason why the researchers or ITV would have anything to gain by hiding information or lying.  After all none of the twins claimed to believe they have any sort of connection, but if its a subconscious connection then they wont know if they have it or not.

Its interesting...

You mean a bit like Derren Brown does?! lol  .  yes sorry to disappoint, but a lot of metalism feats on TV work by selectively showing the one time it actually works, and letting the rest go onto the cutting room floor.... sorry Derren fans (and I'm one), but selective editing is part of his (and all mentalists') repertoire...

Joking apart you raise a valid critique, but I'm pretty sure that selective editing wasn't used.  I saw the Richard+Judy program and I didn't notice any editing, the whole show seemed to be one continuous live sequence.  Can't remember if there was a live audience or not.

I've had perfect mental telepathic connections with my mother when she was hypnotised (I taught myself hypnosis) and all I can say is that ESP is absolutely real.  So I figure these twins demonstrate a real and repeatable effect. Just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.....!
