clairsentience

clairsentience
   The term clairsentience comes from the French words for feeling clearly. The term is used in the parapsychological literature to denote a * tactile or * somatic hallucination attributable to a metaphysical source. It is therefore interpreted as a *telepathic, *veridical, or at least *coincidental hallucination.
