Do you believe that ESP exists? Do you believe that animals have ESP?

no, because you have erased from your mind the hundreds of occasions when you thought about this person, and they didn't phone you. Or you weren't thinking about them, and you did. Confirmation bias proves it.

It's possible to have confirmation bias about confirmation bias if you take my meaning - You might believe strongly that confirmation bias is a valid explanation to the point where confirmation bias might stop someone from being completely objective

This isn't ESP, this is a sense of smell that we cannot possibly comprehend.

If anyone calls here and touches our gate, our dog will know and go sniff exactly where they touched. It just a matter of taming and channelling their built in abilities.

Esp is a very real thing

Hmm, I really doubt that. As mentioned, confirmation bias and coincidence does it for me.
