Psychokinesis, or "PK", is the ability to cause objects to move without any contact (physical, electronic or electromagnetic), using the power of the mind. Like telepathy, PK has been investigated for many years by various organisations, both governmental and non-governmental.
To date, no evidence has been found to support the existence of PK, but it does look pretty cool in fiction.
Anecdotal evidence
However, there is considerable anectdotal evidence to support telekinesis. Who cannot say that at some time a set of keys, ballpoint pen, or wallet has mysteriously disappeared only to be found in a completely different place?
