I came up with the idea of playing “hangman.” I drew lines to represent the letters making up several words I was thinking. The first word was “cat.” He said “C” and then “cat” a few seconds later. We did a few more. Ramses quickly guessed the subsequent letters and words with few mistakes.
I returned in March and informally tested Ramses for telepathy on three occasions for a few minutes each. The results were extremely encouraging! The first time the mother wrote five numbers between 0 and 9 on her whiteboard, while Ramses sat across the room with the whiteboard’s back facing him. He got them all correct. One-by-one I gave the mother four different children’s playing cards with numbers on them, while being careful that Ramses did not see them. He also got all of those. I then wrote four random numbers on the whiteboard: 8134. The mother circled the 81 and Ramses said “81″ from across the room. She circled the three and he said “three”. When asked for the last number he said “four.” At another time, I handed the mother four small playing cards, one-by-one, with the numbers 2 through 10. Ramses got the first two correct. The third number was ten. He said “one”. His mother said. You’re partially correct” and moved on to the next number, the only one he completely missed out of 17.
