Sixth sense

The phrase "sixth sense" refers to a supposed, extra or additional sense beyond the five physical senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch). It implies a perception or ability to gather information or sense things that cannot be explained by the known senses or reasoning. This concept often implies an intuitive or instinctive understanding or perception of something that is not immediately apparent or evident. The idea of a sixth sense is often associated with paranormal or psychic abilities.
