      This isn’t my area of expertise at all, but I think it’s an interesting concept to consider. If we think about ESP as a person experiencing auditory and/or visual hallucinations, we do know that some people experience this. There is also some research evidence to suggest that ESP experiences may be linked to trauma. I’d suggest having a search online if this is something you’re interested in!

      I will be honest, I hadn’t heard of this term before, so currently I’m reading about it. This means I’m probably less knowledgeable about it than you are, so I might not be the right person to answer your question! But I wanted to thank you for bringing this term to my attention 🙂

      It’s an interesting phenomenon. From my understanding, it can be difficult to measure directly but that does not mean that the phenomenon doesn’t exist/happen. See this article for more information. https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/extra-sensory-perception-controversial-debate
