What is the sixth sense?

Answer 1

Depends what you mean. There are in fact 21 senses not 5 I assume you mean the following:The twenty second sense is when people sense somthing/someone around. this is under the paranormal topics, that normally includes ghosts. sometimes you can get a twenty second sense from being around something creepy, or when you are somewhere, you may feel a slight shiver down your spine, that is like a twenty second, you can feel something, but there is nothing there....
The sixth sense is your inherent psychic sense. Some describe this as your "third eye", or ESP (extra sensory perception) as in you are seeing (or sensing) beyond the ordinary.

Do you ever know who's on the phone when it rings before you answer it? (without caller ID I mean) Do you ever get a "feeling" that something is going to happen and then it does? That's your sixth sense at work.

Though, it is not our society "norm" to be accepting of this sense, to nurture and develop it, and to utilize it as a life's tool (like we utilize other senses to learn speech). In fact, we are often scorned by our families and friends if we do continue to use our sixth sense regularly. (Science & modern medicine have not yet been able to fully explain this sense, and people in general tend to fear what they do not know or understand.) So most people tend to tune this sense out as they grow, and learn to ignore it for the most part. For others, their sixth sense remains very open their whole lives - these would be the people we call psychics.

It is possible later in life to reattune to this sense that you may have mostly "shut down" for many years - but it takes a lot of hard work. Much like re-learning to walk if you've been in an accident and haven't used your leg muscles for quite some time
the 6th sense is a scary movie. Emily Osment's older brother is in that movie, but it was when he was a little kid. the movie is about a little boy and his mother having a 6th sense, which is being able to see dead people.
