The Uncanny Psychic Connection That Identical Twins Possess
by Alan Hocking

There have been countless stories written about the psychic connection between identical twins. Stories like, when one twin hurts itself the other twin feels the pain. Or the twin who had the contractions while her sister gave birth. Even to the extremes of twin sisters who had been separated at birth and when re-united some thirty years later found out they had both married men with the same first name and also called their sons by the same first names.

The majority of these cases seem to be predominantly between Identical twins which are formed when one fertilised egg splits into two and would back up the theory that identical twins are a definitely a part of each other and the true meaning of soul mates. We hear far less cases of a psychic connection between fraternal twins.

My own fraternal twin daughters who although in the early months were very similar to look at and quite often seemed to be sharing some sort of telepathic conversation that I was being left out of, have now at eighteen months old developed into their own individual personalities and are so completely different it would seem impossible to imagine that they share any sort of psychic connection at all. And yet, all too often when I go to check on them at night before I go to bed they are lying in identical positions. I don’t mean just similar positions i.e. both on their left sides; I mean identical positions even down to the positions of their hands and fingers! Now that’s spooky. If they are in different parts of the house and one gets hurt or upset the other one will stop what they’re doing immediately and go straight to her sister to comfort her yet they normally fight like cat and dog when they’re together and yes there are still times when I feel that they are having a telepathic conversation together.

So am I being a little over sensitive and looking for connections, or are my daughters like so many other twins that are psychically connected.

My theory is that if they share a womb for nine months and then grow up together and go through all the changes and development stages that children go through together, there is bound to be a much stronger bonding than if they grow up as normal sisters some two years apart. It remains to be seen whether this bond gets stronger as they grow up or disappears all together in later years. But you can be sure I will be keeping a very close eye on things and reporting any new developments that I notice in the coming months and years ahead.
