Can people really have a sixth sense?  Like the one from the movie?  What is it called?

Yes. It isn't exactly like in the movie though. \n\nThe people you see are like shadows to you, unless they reveal themselves completely to you. \n\nIt is possible to see peoples souls as well, and look into the future. \n\nThis is called fay. People who are fay have limited control of their power. Some people might claim to see into the future at will, but it doesn't work like that. \n\nThis feeling overcomes you, like something is about to scare you from behind, then the feeling translates itself into a shape in your mind. After that, it becomes a clear and concise thought. But, sometimes you need to interpret it, and it is useless.\n\nDon't believe most people who claim to be physic. If they say that they are fay, they probably aren't lying though. I like to laugh at TV physics. What is that name of the famous TV physic who does that Crossing Over show? I can honestly say he is an idiot. The dead people never talk to him. The most they do is stand around him. One time when I watched the show, a couple had family there, a mother. The fake physic said it was her father. Ha!!!!!!

You feel it in your gut, a sixth sense!!

Ooh, I like Shari's answer. It is really well put. That is kind of what it is like alright. Maybe we humans do have a little 6th sense in us.

If you just memorize the Lie I've seen that my friends still accidently have a twitch to the other side so it still looks as if their lying, When they started believing the lie though that is when the shift started going to the memory and sensory side. You have to memorize the lie and begin to convince yourself of it deeply otherwise you can still tell if the person your talking about is still lying to you

Forget about "believe," this is the science forum -- the question should be, is there any scientific proof that these are real?\n\nAnd yes, there is -- there's proof that our brains undergo changes as death approaches (usually from oxygen starvation of the brain), that can produce hallucinations. Neurons fire off in many parts of the brain in an apparent "last gasp" effort to stave off death, probably the brain's way of trying to get the rest of the body to do something to keep it from dying.  That many of the reported experiences are the same, no matter what culture or religion the person is from, suggests that it's something our brains do biologically, and isn't based on learning or life experiences.

I don't experience it as often as I used to, and I've no idea why. Theories abound but as with many strange phenomena I'm not sure there is a satisfactory explanation for it. It's just that inexplicable sense of having lived a moment in time (usually quite a brief and fleeting moment in time) before. Whether it's an unconscious familiarity with something real or imagined or a conscious sense of actually having lived such a moment before is impossible to say with any certainty. (And yes, you have asked this question before... but when and where is another matter entirely... spooky, huh?) ;)

I dont know if it helps\nBut I heard he never saw anything like what we see in the movie. He just heard some obscure voices in his head.

The Sixth Sense had the best surprise ending in recent years. I mean it was so skillfully done that people could've picked up on it or something but then at the end it was like "Whoa". I mean the ending is such a surprise that it kinda makes the movie almost boring to watch agian! Now, that's a surprise ending.

Yes but it's not a ghost.\n\nMy friend and I rented the film for the very specific purpose of seeing it. What it is - when they are in the bedroom with the baby, you see a figure standing in the background, sort of behind the curtain. We absolutely flipped out and started screaming when we saw it. \n\nNow, I can't remember if it is the previous scene in the room, or the following scene, but you can actually see very clearly that the 'figure' or 'ghost' is in fact a cardboard cutout of one of the guys (either Ted Danson or Tom Selek). It's just propped up near the curtain / window. \n\nIn the ghost scene it makes it look like someone is standing behind / near the window. But it's just a trick of the eye.

OK now that the smart alec's have had their say, I believe that most people have a "sixth sense" but most people just think it is intuition.  I think it is a really good idea to listen to your six sense and don't listen to those who say that you are nuts!

They are very real. We as humans are only given 5 senses. Who is to say that there are other senses that exist but we just cannot utilize them or it is not within our powers? Dogs & Cats or other animals have heightened sense of sight & smell thus allowing them to detect the presence of the unknown before we do. \n\nRemember this, we are all spirits embodied in a human form. When we die we take our conscious and subconscious with us and go back as spirits again.  When we die suddenly, our spirits will be earthbound. Until we realize we are dead, we become ghost.

Sixth sense is intuition and of course it exists. Your head does the thinking, that's the intellectual, your heart does the emotional but your guts are your intutive barometer. How did she know you were looking at her, she probably felt it. Everything is connected. You were directing energy her way, she was sensitive enough to pick it up, that's all.

In addition to the familiar five senses...scientists know of a sixth sense called proprioception. It's the sense of where your body is in space that allows you to touch your nose even with your eyes closed. Proprioception (PRO-pree-oh-ception) also informs balance and how to put one foot in front of the other to walk without looking at your fee

Yeah, I "know about" the sixth sense.  I call it "gut feeling".  You know, if you have a "bad feeling" about something, avoid it at all costs.  I usually listen to it, but sometimes I don't, and I pay the price.

They call it misdirection. What the mind sees thinks is real. When they show you one thing they are secretly doing something you wouldn't know what to look for on the side to get the awe inspiring effect. Only other magicians or people on the "know" can understand. Scientifically, the whole world would know if Chris Angel really levitated or he'd be locked in a jar for Military research and we would never see something like that for real.

I have worked with these people for years.  The best answer I have ever heard was from one of them.  They told me, "It is there reality."  What they are seeing is real to them, just as the sky is real to us.  He told me people could tell them that his hallucinations were not real but to him they were "real" because they were there right infront of him.  Pretty good discription I thought.

Go on dreaming and the abilities increase on its own. Your sixth sense is working. Make the best use of it. But why are you foreseeing only bad things. Turn them into positive thinking, and see good things happen.
