psychic attack
Mind-based harmful projection
A psychic attack is a purported assault on someone's mental or spiritual well-being through supernatural means—curses, hexes, negative energy, or malevolent thought projection.
The concept appears in New Age spirituality, folk magic traditions, and paranormal belief systems.
Believers attribute unexplained anxiety, bad luck, or illness to psychic attacks from enemies or malicious spirits: She felt drained and wondered if she was under psychic attack.
