second sight
Perceiving future events
Second sight is the supposed ability to perceive future events or things hidden from ordinary vision—a form of clairvoyance or extrasensory perception.
The term suggests a faculty beyond normal sight: She claimed to have second sight and predicted the accident.
It appears most often in folklore and discussions of the paranormal.
