extrasensory
Past normal perception
Extrasensory means beyond the ordinary senses—perception that doesn't come through sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell.
The word appears almost exclusively in the phrase extrasensory perception (ESP), referring to supposed abilities like telepathy, clairvoyance, or precognition.
Whether such perception exists remains scientifically unverified.
