A compendium of rare cross-cultural and historical accounts of extrasensory perception

Provides accounts of ESP ranging from ancient Greek myth, traditional North and South American, African, and Polynesian stories to individuals like Rumi, Charles Dickens, and Carl Jung

Considers unexplained ESP-related happenings, including bilocation, the ability to locate lost items, early knowledge of ones own death, and perceptions regarding the well-being of loved ones

Whether a premonition of an impending event, a warning of potential danger, or an unlikely synchronistic experience, such things are surprisingly common, even if they often cannot be clearly explained.

Taking readers on a historical and cross-cultural voyage through extrasensory experiences, Daniel Bourke documents, contextualizes, and sheds light on these mysterious phenomena. From the plains of Peru and the haunted highlands of Scotland to the snowy taiga forests of the Far North and the Indigenous cultures of Australia and America, Bourke examines the strange psychic occurrences that seem to appear in all places, at all times. These include instances of bilocation, premonitions about the coming of visitors, intuitions of the location of lost items or treasures, the discovery of cures by telepathic means, and even accurate pre-perceptions about ones own demise or the perilous situation of a loved one. He looks at the renowned Greek seers, including Iamos, who announced the death of Hercules at the moment it occurred; the far-reaching visions of the shaman in a trance who might warn his tribe of danger; and the witches, wizards, and heroes of legend and romance who were privy to secret knowledge through magical means. Bourkes survey incorporates rare accounts from people all around the world and across the ages, including figures like Rumi, Saint Anthony, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Carl Jung.

Shedding light on our cultural and mythic past, Bourke shows that wherever you look in the world, whatever culture or time, telepathic tales are unfolding all around us.

An extraordinary compendium that unveils a hidden dimension of human experience, revealing the uncanny reality of mind-to-mind communication and psychic phenomena across cultures and throughout history. Daniel Bourkes meticulous research and storytelling offer compelling evidence for these mysterious abilitiesso often dismissed by conventional science, yet woven deeply into the fabric of our collective memory. Overflowing with rare anecdotes and astonishing premonitions, Telepathic Tales is a captivating journey into the unexplained powers of the human mind. Examined through the lens of contemporary psychic research, these tales shed light on the universal human experience of extrasensory perception that conventional science often overlooks. * David Jay Brown, author of Dreaming Wide Awake and The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities * In Telepathic Tales, Daniel Bourke gathers an impressive, convincing, and entertaining body of evidence from folklore and legend around the world that attests to the global ubiquity of what we call the paranormal. His wide research argues that precognition, bilocation, clairvoyance, and other realities still denied by Western science are a common human experience, one that readers of this engaging book can share. * Gary Lachman, author of Dreaming Ahead of Time and Touched by the Presence * In Telepathic Tales, Daniel Bourke takes the reader on a multicultural voyage of discovery through the history of vivid case studies of such paranormal experiences as precognitive visitations, mysterious dreams, and glimpses of the afterlife. This is an enjoyable book that encompasses the full range of psychic experiences dating back to the birth of civilization and as far away as Peru, Iran, Sweden, and Japan. By presenting numerous accounts from modern Western parapsychologists all the way back to ancient times, Bourke has given the reader a different and personal way to consider not only the meaning of ESP, but also the reason for our very existence. * Marc J. Seifer, Ph.D., author of Where Does Mind End? * Telepathic Tales is a visionary collection of testimonies confirming the very real possibility that precognition exists within all of us. Read it for the compelling data it is and discover the power of transcending time in your own mind. * Theresa Cheung, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Dream Dictionary from A to Z and coauthor of * Are you open to knowing that our minds are much more intertwined than the narratives of conventional science tell us? That you are not just an individual but part of the collective human organism? Through the collective human mind, you are enmeshed not only with other people, but also with the plants and animals of our natural world. In Telepathic Tales you will find compelling evidence of our interconnectedness. Read this book and connect! * Bernard Beitman, M.D., author of Meaningful Coincidences and Life-Changing Synchronicities * A veritable treasure trove of anomalous human experiences from disparate cultures and centuries that, collectively, remind us how deeply connected we are. Bourkes painstaking archival work is reminiscent of a botanist collecting and cataloging specimens to ultimately enrich the field. The materialist paradigm will be sorely challenged by these many, many voices that speak of transcendentyet surprisingly ordinary and intimateknowledge from across the arc of human history. * Patricia Pearson, author of Opening Heavens Door * Bourke has mastered the art of portrayingin a well-documented waya wide range of cases of telepathy, premonition, and death-related phenomena across the centuries and in different cultures and traditions expressed by these extrasensory abilities reported since the dawn of time. They all point to our true nature as spiritual beingswith consciousness as the fundamental essence of reality. Telepathic Tales is an important contribution to the elaboration of a post-materialist philosophy. I highly recommend this outstanding book. * Evelyn Elsaesser, author of Spontaneous Contacts with the Deceased *
