twin telepathy

Shared mind, shared womb

Twin telepathy is the popular belief that twins, especially identical twins, share a psychic connection allowing them to sense each other's thoughts, feelings, or experiences across distance.

Despite widespread anecdotal reports, no scientific evidence supports the phenomenon: She knew something was wrong before the phone rang—twin telepathy, she insisted.

The concept persists in folklore and pop culture as a romanticized feature of the twin bond.
