I am convinced there is a sense of nonsense.
Which is the feeling you get when you can not quite but you finger on it but you "feel" like someone or something is watching you.
I laid awake one night in my bedroom, I felt this feeling of someone/ or a presence in the room. But I was alone. Throughout the night I would awake and have the same feeling. I could not shake it. A viceral feeling of being observed, or something in the room with me. After a night of tossing and turning I awoke and opened my eyes, and on the ceiling directly above me was a scorpion.
I knew something was there, even though I could not hear it, smell it, taste, see it, feel it.
I chalk it up to a level of awareness animals share that trancends our senses.
**edit to add,, no "nonsense" jabs...

Ok, as per usual the skeptic alarms are going off. lol.
I will elaborate on the conditions of the night in question.
1. Room is pitch black. thick drapes on windows.
2. Ceilings are 15 foot. a good distance from my sleeping head.
3. Scorpion was curled up into a scrunched up postition, as in
not moving at all.
I could absolutely not see this thing up there. nor did I hear it since it was not moving at all. nor could I smell it. As far as I know scorpions dont smell. It was quite small about 1 inch and tan. In fact at first I thought it was a small insect.
So I can not rule out sound but between the air conditioner and ceiling fan going I would not hear it.
I am ruling out smell, cuz I have killed many scorpions, they do not emit a oder.
I am ruling out sight cuz it is pitch black in my room at night and this thing is 15 feet in the air and only about a inch long.
I believe my spider senses were tingling..

What are some sources of UV?
All the lights in my room were off.
Analog alarm clock.
No night lights.
My watch emits a very tiny amount from the luminous hands.
But that was probably under the covers.
I can not think of any source of light UV or otherwise.
Im am telling you I "felt" this thing all night but was not aware of it till I opened my eyes that morning.
**edit to add: I heard somewhere that humans only use a small portion of the available "brain power". I also know that there are many unexplainable and undescovered phenomenon in regards to the human animal. I believe, and this is just my opinion, that humans, and other animals can sense things that are not under ordinary circumstances detectable other than by some means or mechanisms that is yet to be explained scientifically.

Daniel Tammet is one smart dude.
I recentley saw a program about an individual named
Daniel Tammet. He is a Austistic savant who has the ability to
see images of numbers in his head. He also says that he feels
textures and shapes of numbers in his mind. He can make complex calculations such as 37 to the power of 14 in his head without error. He can recite Pi to something 20thousand decimal places from memory, without error. He can learn any language in a week. (He learned Icelandic in 1 week). All of these feats have been verified.
Does Mr. Tammet have senses that transend what we call the 5 senses? If it is possible for one human, then do all of us have the same propensity ?
