Apologies for the title, I don't mean we can see dead people!
I was on the tube last week, busy but not packed, I was reading my book when I became aware that someone was staring at me. I hadn't looked up but just had a feeling and I even knew which direction it was coming from. I was loathe to look up as worried it would be someone scary but in the end the 'feeling' was so strong, I looked straight in the supposed direction to see a woman really gazing at me. Our eyes locked for a couple of seconds and she then looked away and rummaged in her bag. I went back to my book and sort if forgot about it.
And then yesterday, I walked into one of the offices at work, 4 staff in there and felt a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Everyone was busy at their desk working and nothing was said but I just knew. Later on I found out 2 of the staff had had a dispute over a piece of work and this was the immediate aftermath. On another day I can go in the same room and no such feelings.
I also was chatting to someone I know socially, all very friendly but I just know she doesn't like me. Again, no bad words or odd body language I just sense this.
I assume almost everyone has experienced the same sort of instances as I've described so what I'm asking is:
1.Is this a tangible thing?
- Does it have a name like taste, smell etc
- Have their been any scientific studies to explain this?ie Humans give of some sort of electrical pulse that alerts others subconscious?
- Or, is it just a load of woo bollocks?
I'm just really interested in knowing more
