As I said several times, these experiments have been reproduced many, many times with similar or sometimes nearly identical results. They are finding positive results in plenty of these reproductions. And why do you need a scientific theory to find positive test results valid? Aren't theories devised because of positive test results of effects?
The most common, stereotypical telepathic experiment is "guessing" the suit of the next card flipped over. Since there are 4 suits, if there is no telepathy, people should be guessing correctly at 25% the time. The hit rate for the meta data(with trials dating back to the 1930's) on that specific type of experiment is 34%, implying some sort interesting effect going on.
