Witchcraft is a very large field. In my lifetime I have met people from many places, many ethnic groups, many age groups and many socioeconomic groups that practice one of dozens of forms of witchcraft.
It would be nearly impossible to make a description wide enough and all encompassing enough to accurately give you a picture of the people involved in witchcraft.
The best I can do is give you three examples.
1) This person is a young man, raised in a Wiccan family. Both of his parents are Wiccan, he is an only child still in high school. He is middle class, lives in a large metropolitan area, likes soccer, volunteers at the local animal shelter, is a straight A student and is working on getting a scholarship to enable him to take veterinarian medicine when he graduates. He is open about his spiritual path, and has friends who are Wiccan, Christian, Jewish and Muslim.
2) This person is a man in a federal prison, he was an addict in his younger days, and has found his spiritual path while incarcerated. He is of a First Nations tribe, and is studying shamanism so that, upon his release he may return to his home town and work with the local shaman as an apprentice. He strongly believes h8is personal history will help him to help others.
3) This person is a woman close to retirement age. She is married but has no children. She has spent an entire lifetime within a Family Tradition Pagan Circle, and was raised to keep her spiritual path a secret. She has worked in many jobs, lived in many places, uses her energies to better the world and the situations of the people around her no matter what their spiritual path is. She has spent the last twenty-five years teaching young people, one or two at a time, the ways of her tradition in such a manner that they can find and follow their own personal spiritual path.

How to sense a presence?
You can't necessarily 'sense' a presence without being involved in any type of witchcraft, occult-type society. The 'sense' that people feel is usually felt through the practice of magic. However, there are people that have almost like, what they call, a 'sixth sense' naturally. They're able to see, hear, feel things in the paranormal side of reality. As to the receiving the talent of 'sensing a spirit' through magic, I do NOT recommend getting involved in that part of reality intentionally. Nor do I recommend pledging into witchcraft. There's more to it than telepathy and magic tricks. The pros of magic are largely outweighed by the cons.
