unseen world

Beyond mortal perception

The unseen world is whatever lies beyond ordinary perception—spirits, angels, demons, the afterlife, or other dimensions of existence.

The phrase appears most often in religious and supernatural contexts: Prayer connects us to the unseen world.

It can also refer more broadly to hidden realities science has yet to reveal or that remain forever beyond human senses.
