ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception． It may be called a sixth sense． It seems to let people know about events before they happen，or events that are happening some distance away．
There are thousands of stories on record．Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages．Here’s an example，one of hundreds of dreams that have come true．
