I believe all humans were more in touch with these types of feelings 1000's of years ago. But since we no longer need to know if we're being stalked for prey, gradually we are losing this '6th' sense. The tsunami that recently killed 100,000 people, for example, killed zero wild animals at Yala National Park in Sri Lanka(not counting fish or small animals). Somehow all these animals were able to take cues from nature, and head for higher ground.
I think this sense is not supernatural, instead it's your 5 normal senses picking up cues around you. Your inner ear can pick up on slight pressure changes in a room, wich allows us to tell if someone has entered, or has begun an activity. When someone stops talking behind you, or you hear your name said in conversation, it may be a stretch but I believe even pheromones have something to do with it.
How many times have we tried to get somone to notice us staring at them?
