Ever been walking along and get a feeling that somebody is watching you, then you turn around and lo and behold somebody is (hopefully not pedobear)? Perhaps you have walked into a friends house and got a warm feeling that everybody inside is happy, or a fierce one relating to the inhabitants anger, without first seeing anybody?

We usually refer to these feelings as a sort of sixth sense.

The topic of the debate is:
Is the Human sixth sense real & how does it work

If you are a Medium/Fortune teller, than yes, you have the 6th sense. It may be real, but everyone does not have it.

What you're trying to describe isn't really a 6th sense. Everyone has it, it's called intuition. If you're around someone for long enough, you can sense their aura, their feeling.

Getting an uneasy feeling around a dodgy place or an untrustworthy person isn't a superpower either. It's a defence mechanism, we sense that we're in a situation we need to get out of immediately, and respond by panic.

There are many sixth senses, including this, ESP and communicating with the spirit world. Which one is the real sixth sense?

Sorry, but can you actually scientifically prove ESP and connection with the spirit world?

I can prove ESP, but not connection with the spirit world, you would need a medium too prove that for you.

It's called intuition. It's instincts. Every animal has it.

I remember this clearly:

I was 5 years old in Manhattan int he backseat of the car. My dad was driving and my mom was arguing with him.
I had a really weird feeling in my stomach that something will happen. Something big.
All of a sudden I saw a car speeding toward us. I don't know why, but I yelled something out (I forgot what it was) like a reflex and all of a sudden the car completely turned the other way, impossibly in that kind of speed. I was completely astounded and my parents were staring at me.

Explain that Aloe ;P

Good story


It's probably just a disturbance in the force. No sixth sense here.

well you all seem to agree that we all have intuition (I also agree) but how does it work, is it like a seperate sense or is it a collaboration of the 5 established senses?

I think you can feel a change in the wind and sense a change in sound waves. Therefore, a collaboration of senses is a good thought.

It's just something we all have. One individual can't explain the reason behinf intuition; we each have different theories.

It's like explaining the taste of water.

pure water has no taste...but good reasoning.

Hmm.... I must have been born without this "sense"....

It's really something you develop. Intuition differs from instinct, and it varies on the type of people you most commonly associate with. You may be able to sense the feelings of a person if they allow you to do so, therefore perhaps your associates wish to hide themselves from anyone with this "gift". I dunno. =/

I mean... like i can tell if someones angry or sad or what not. But i don't see it as a sense its more like, using common sense to realize something but it just jumps straight at you...

I get that sometimes, but Im also wrong sometimes. xD I dont think its a 6th sense, but its definitely not one of the five, interesting...
