sixth sense
Knowing without evidence
A sixth sense is an ability to perceive things beyond the five physical senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
It usually refers to intuition or a supernatural awareness: She had a sixth sense about people's true intentions.
The term implies knowledge gained through channels that can't be rationally explained: His sixth sense told him something was wrong.
