I personally do believe that minds can communicate, and can even affect. The so-called evil eye; there are persons who might augur ill effects, and persons who can usher in good luck also.
I believe that the effect can be relative, in that certain persons affect certain other persons in a specific manner, which may not be felt by others.
Also, I did have a very strange experience, with a Hindu religious custom, in which a man, after a series of long incantations, ritualistic dance, with drums accompanied, gets possessed by a certain god, who seems to be able to see through the time, past, present, and future.
