The ability to sense spirits is called: clairsentience.

I've experienced paranormal phenomena throughout my life. Over the years I've discovered that spirits manifest in all sorts of different ways.

• Feeling goosebumps
• Sudden inexplicable change in room temperature (either hot or cold)
• Sensation of being touched, when there's no one near you
• Sensation of being pushed, when there's no one near you
• Discovering you've been scratched, bruised or burned
• (these bruises, scratches and burns are seen by all, and are photographable)
• Feeling a change in a room's energy
• Feeling suddenly nauseous or dizzy
• (these feelings stop when you leave the room)
• Feeling tired suddenly for no reason
• Feeling as if you've been drained of energy
• Feeling your heart begin to beat fast for no reason
• (your heartbeat returns to normal when you leave the room)
• A sense of heaviness in the air
• Suddenly feeling anxious for no apparent reason
• (may start shaking)
• Suddenly feeling sad for no apparent reason
• (may start crying)
• Suddenly feeling excited for no apparent reason
• Suddenly feeling terrified for no apparent reason
• (this feeling may be so intense you need to leave the room)
• Hearing voices, (people talking, moaning, laughing)
• Hearing animals, (growling, howling, barking)
• Hearing noises, (footsteps, doors opening/closing, banging on walls)
• Seeing someone out of the corner of your eye
• Seeing someone walk in front of you

Sometimes when my husband and I are sitting in the living room, I'll suddenly feel as if I'm being enveloped in cold. The first thing I do, is ask him if any doors or windows are open in the house which could be causing a draft. If none are open, I'll ask him come over to me and feel the air around me. He'll feel my face and/or arms to see if I'm chilled or hot. Then he holds his hands about six inches to a foot above my body. If the air feels cold, he'll grab one of our temperature guns and take a reading.

If he starts feeling goosebumps, he may grab a digital voice recorder and see if he can get an EVP. Sometimes he'll scan the room with an EMF meter or a full spectrum camera. Sometimes he catches something, sometimes not.
